The 3 Things I Learned From My Husband Who Has Multiple Sclerosis
I've talked to a number of people in the last week who have told me just how important it is to have a spouses view of MS. And this is true MS affects everyone-wives, husbands, parents, boyfriends, and girlfriends. So what I will reveal in this article is a bunch of realizations I've had about my husband and MS. Things that I've learned over the last 13 years of wedded bliss.
#1 I learned that I myself was in denial about the disease MS. When I first met my husband he told me that he had MS and that his father probably had it too. I in turn looked at his father and thought, well, he goes to work everyday, looks normal, and does everything that everyone else does. Yes, folks I was in denial. I thought just because his Dad was fine he would be fine. Not so. Robert has had some rough times and I didn't realize that MS had a physical factor but emotional one as well. My husband looked great, but underneath it all he was suffering from a variety of emotional issues that stemmed from having multiple sclerosis.
#2 Second thing I learned is that there is a very, very, fine between who my husband is and what MS is in his life. Are the angry outbursts, anxiety, and fatigue multiple sclerosis or my husband Robert Groth? Where is the line between who he really is and his personality and the symptoms of MS and the effect they have on him? No one can really answer this question.
#3 Multiple Sclerosis is a very prominent part of our lives. Not just his life, but OUR lives. Yes, my husband has MS, but in a way I do too. I don't have the physical symptoms but I am so aware and in tune with my husband that I live multiple sclerosis though him each and every day.
Multiple Sclerosis I must say has taken us on a journey, one of many twists and turns. One where my husband and I are still discovering who we are and where we are going. Is that MS? Or is that just real life? Some of you may say both or one or the other.
Folks, tell us what is your experience with your spouse and multiple sclerosis. We would love to hear from you all.
