Short story: When my wife and I talk, should I be hopeful or factual/honest or even brutally honest? Maybe it's better to to not lead the conversation but take cues from her?
We talk about this daily. I try to be upbeat as I can but think some of my worry is leaking through and she is picking up on it. As an example she asked "So are you just researching MS only?"
We are not officially dx'd, the soonest that will happen is Monday. I spend hours a day researching MS, and the more I study the more I think there's a good chance that's what my wife has. She has similarly done much online research and reached that conclusion sooner than I did.
So for those that have gone before, did you wish you'd discussed MS directly as you awaited diagnosis, or wonder cures, or talk about anything else?
