Almost 7 years ago, when I filed for divorce, my ex-husband told me many times that I would never find someone else who truly loved me because I have MS & suffer from horrible migraines! Let me add, that he cheated on me & that was the reason for the divorce! Nevertheless, he was wrong, way, way wrong! My BF of the past year and a half is amazing! He understands when I can't do something & doesn't get upset! He's always willing to learn more about my illness & he does truly love me! I'm by no means saying we're perfect, but he's a good man with a huge heart! Don't settle for less! Everyone deserves to be loved!

I volunteered and Nursing Facility weekly. I visit with a lady who has MS. I feel lucky that I can still do what I do. I lead a Bible study and try to encourage best I can. I am very thankful that I still can drive and live on my own. I lost my husband 15 years ago. Not that he was a lot of help. I do pray the best for you :-)

I was married for 40 years before my husband died 8 years ago, when I was diagnosed with MS 17 years ago, he was always by my side, our sex life was great and very active until he was diagnosed with his cancer, 6 weeks before he died, we had a strong relationship, built a wonderful family as well as a business, I guess we just made the decision that we would move forward each day and deal with whatever life through at us together, now that he is gone I live with one of my kids families ( I have 5) but I'm still moving forward each day, I think that's all any of us can do

What a tough question. I was diagnosed with MS when I was 23 years old and my life has changed. Every relationship I have now is different. My parents have been my constant and biggest supporters. I have learned so much through the years about living with a chronic illness. I think my biggest advice is to always be honest. If people care about you they will understand. I make the mistake of making plans with friends or family members when I have no idea what I might feel like tomorrow. Now before I make plans I always say let me see how I feel. People don't want to hear about my illness all the time. Isolation can become normal for us. Let your friends know you need company. I try to stay positive and listen to my friends and stay in the moment! Everyone has their own challenges! We are put on this earth to help each other! God is always there!

It does become serious when the pain is overwhelming!! In fact at those times I want to not go any further!! I am sure I am not alone. I think anyone with MS has to be a fighter and a warrior to try to stay alive...
