I have noticed that I am more aware of how my body reacts on a daily basis than before being dx'd. I have come to understand that everyday it will be something. It may be the same thing over and over or it may be something new. It may even be a combination of things. Understanding it and coming to grips with it are two different things.
Understanding it also makes me realize that it is truly impossible for a person that does not have MS to fully comprehend what we go through on a daily basis. My DW asks me everyday how I feel. I love her for it but sometimes trying to answer that on a daily basis is difficult. I told her yesterday " Baby you need to understand that it will always be something. I will have good (bad) days and I will have bad (bad) days." I try so hard to convey to her the mental and physical aspect of all this, but it is truly difficult. I have ordered brochures and books to help with all this so we will see.
How did everyone else handle this? Does your loved one ever get to the point where they really understand you? I know my DW wants to help and she is very concerned. I just don't want her to feel locked out because she cannot understand it. I want so bad to be able to talk to her and have her understand. I don't know, maybe she does. Maybe I am selling her short.
