Hello, everyone I'm a 34 yo full time worker, full time mom to 4 children, and wife to the most amazing husband. I began my MS journey with a Dx of Optic Neuritis 9 months ago. I didn't believe I had MS at the time, and I was told I had CIS. After my vision came back I was confident that although I wasn't taking any DMD, I wouldn't experience another exacerbation.... boy was I wrong. My children knew I was having an issue with my eye, but didn't know the extent of it, and I never mentioned anything about MS to them at that time.
I now have moved from CIS, to definite MS. I know I need to communicate this to our children ranging in age from 6 -11, but I'm at a loss at to HOW I do this. I don't want them to become fearful or worried, and I'm wondering how other families have communicated this and what the response was from their children.
Any help is appreciated. TIA!
