Complaining Effectively
I suspect that you can’t properly complain about MS to friends, family or colleagues; I’ve come to the conclusion that they just don’t don’t get it. Not even understanding spouses, partners, BFFs or parents, can really understand what you are feeling or experiencing, living with MS. I try to share that with MS-friends only, and keep it to a minimum with everyone else. MS is such a complex disease and it can take you so far from what a normal body experiences. I value my real MS-friends so much and the support that we can give each other. Online MS’er’s are a great source of support and information too, and you can meet people that are going through so many similar things to yourself.
