Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 I've been married for 18 years and my husband has 'doubted' my disease more often than not. Just recently he's started to see that my problems are real--he sees the spasms, and sees me falling and dropping things, and i've tried very hard not to complain about ANY pain unless it is really affecting me! And I will often find articles for him to read, and although he says he understands, sometimes I hear him say things that make me think he 'really doesn't understand', which is why this group is so darn important, it's the only place I feel that I can say anything and everyone knows exactly what i'm talking about!..the hardest thing for me has been the times i've tried to just push through the flare, and end up getting tired and irritable..and keeping it to myself becomes more difficult, and I end up taking my pain out on him, which I try very hard not to do, as it's not the best way to cope with this problem(IMO). I don't think that he understands how I can go hiking through 'Cambodia' all day and 2 days later, I can't get out of bed or barely feed myself...and I don't understand it either. kmnewberry@... _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
