Hi everyone,
My name is Cheryl and my 48 year old husband was diagnosed with MS this past summer after horrendous months of uncertainty! It started out with vertigo, finally I brought him to the hospital and he was diagnosed with a small stroke. His symptoms continued to worsen--his whole right side was weakening more every day..they finally admitted him to run more tests. The doctors were actually 98% sure it was lymphoma of the brain. Brain biopsy was done and no cancer cells were found! But by this time he was not able to move his right side at all or speak! Finally he given the MS diagnosis. After PT, OT and speech he is now functional and back to work but is dealing with the realities of MS! He was a fabulous athlete and was an extremely good golfer and now is struggling with the fact that he will most likely never golf the way he used to ..or at all.. How do help him deal with this?? I can tell he is getting more and more depressed
Any ideas?
Thanks for listening!
Cheryl
