A Daughter’s View of MS… “You’ve Got to See it for Yourself”
Written by Mandy on December 4th, 2008 in Emotional Issues, Family, Links.
She’s a twenty year old college student whose mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis just shy of five years ago. I asked her to tell me about MS from her perspective.
She recalled her first thoughts when she heard about the diagnosis, “Oh, well…. this really sucks.” Up to that point, she just thought that mom was weak and run down. She figured it would pass. Even with the diagnosis she didn’t yet fully understand the ramifications.
In the years that followed, she learned about MS from what her mother told her, and from some reading on the subject. But she learned far more through her own observations. She explained that it was easier to wrap her head around what her eyes could see.
