I agree with you completely @A MyMSTeam Member!!! The one thing I wish my husband and kids would understand is that its not because I'm lazy or don't want to do something; there are times where I am so fatigued that I just can't do it. If they would just help me out instead of leaving things for me to do when I feel better it would help so much!

You know how they have the pregnant bellies that men can wear when their wife is pregnant...Well I wish someone would invent something like this so that my husband, son, and daughter could understand exactly what I feel on a daily basis. Only they would have to find a way to figure in the severe fatigue, along with all the other symptoms, then maybe they would find a way of showing me some support instead of ignoring everything around the house that has to be done, and waiting until I can manage to drag myself to find enough energy to stand long enough to get things done.

I wish my Significant Other & ALL my Family knew EVERYTHING about my MS, how it affects me, what helps me, what doesn't help at all, and understand my Christianity and their part in my MS journey, and that I love them all, very much.

That small tasks take so much effort. I get so cranky from being fatigued and know I have to keep going because the housework isn't going to do itself. Some days it just stinks.
