how do you protect your family from your MS?

When I was Dx my children were adults,but I had G'kids.
I never hid from them what I had,they saw me go from a cane to A wheelchair,& just accepted it.
I went to G'parents Day at their school in my "chair" no problums.
Keep us posted God Bless Nona!

I do NOT share everything with my husband at this point. I know he can't deal with specifics. I have a couple of friends I can vent to, get ideas from, cry with, etc.

This is great advice. While my SO now fully understands the disease, I talk about it far too often (how I'm feeling, stuff I've read, etc.) It doesn't need to take over my life so I am going to stop talking about it so often. I thankfully have a new friend with PML (not from MS or Tysabri) who has similar symptoms etc. so we can talk to each other for support.
