Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Audrey, when I diagnosed eight months ago, I told the people I'm closest to--it was obvious something was wrong. I found that a couple of people were actually relieved, because I didn't have cancer! With people I work with and acquaintances, I have only brought it up if it's relevant or feels right. My walking's really been off and sometimes people have wanted to ask, but didn't want to be intrusive. I have found that not keeping it a secret has made life easier, because I don't have to justify my fatigue or my suggestion that we get together close to home (for me). I think it's also helping me to accept my condition. MS is a very big part of my life right now; even though I work full-time, I really don't function normally, at least the old " normal. " So for me, airing it had made it easier. P.S. I'm starting a new job in September, teaching drama, and despite everything I've said above, I'm not telling them! At least not now. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand! Surf the Web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER!
