Guest guest Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Things are going pretty well here. I have had a few stressful days. The constant thinking of how we are going to make it financially till everything gets worked out is working on me. I keep going over every possible scenario in my head. The DX is sinking in for . With his limited mobility it’s hard for him to accept that fact that he isn’t supporting his family and can’t really do much of anything right now. http://countermanfamilynews.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 I'm so sorry to hear of your worries. Does your husband have short or long term disability through his employer? Have you contacted your local National MS Society to ask for newly diagnosed information? They should have an outreach person who can guide you to the info that would help you and the most. Most chapters of the NMSS also have a lending library, which have all sorts of self-help books and videos, etc. They usually also have information for children--to teach them about MS. Some NMMS chapters also have some financial help if needed.big hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010  Wow, my local ms association was so different. When she asked which CRAB I was on and replied none, it was kind of a "well what do you want" attitude! Totally turned me off and I know there are some places in Canada where they are extremely helpful! hugs, Cait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 I don't when you emailed them but perhaps you would get a quicker response if you called them. I can't remember what state you are in? Another thing you could do is find out from the NMMS if they have newly diagnosed support group meetings in your area. Usually the recommendation for newly diagnosed is to not go to the regular support group meetings because the thinking is that being around people who may have more disability isn't good for newly diagnosed. It never bothered me when I was newly diagnosed but each of us are different. How are the kids doing? SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Sharon,            The kids are doing very well with this so far. They love their dad and are very good to him. My oldest son and daughter help with my husband’s insulin shots. They are great at helping.            I will look into a support group around here. http://countermanfamilynews.blogspot.com/    From: MSersLife [mailto:MSersLife ] On Behalf Of Sharon Sent: Sunday, July 11, 2010 11:35 PM To: MSersLife Subject: Re: Rough few days....
