yup.

My wife has officially been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. *jazz hands*

Trying to stay positive, because at least this finally explains the whack-a-mole of weird symptoms she's been experiencing for literal years now. And while it's not curable, it's also not terminal, so. Just something to figure out how best to live with. But yeah.

On the plus side, my own surgery on Friday went fine and I'm basically recovered apart from some minor lingering soreness, so I can resume the role of the physically able partner in this relationship. And I'd already taken this whole week off work for recovery per the doctor's recommendation, so now I can just use it as a mental health staycation instead, I guess.

Aw, hell. I am really sorry to hear this. Though glad there is at least an explanation for weird symptoms, because God I know how frustrating THAT can be.

[kaydeefalls]

Yeah. At least it's an explanation. I'll take what we can get. <3

Wishing her all the good luck with managing it

[kaydeefalls]

Thank you. <3

Oh man. I'm glad you have an answer and a diagnosis, but I'm sorry to hear it.

[kaydeefalls]

Yeah. It sucks, but at least it's an answer, and it could be much worse.

[lilacsigil]

Oh, that's shitty, but also it's good to have an answer for that kind of thing (I have a couple of autoimmune things going on and it was a real relief when I finally got past the "maybe you're just crazy and a whiner?" portion of diagnosis.) Best wishes for your own recovery!

[kaydeefalls]

Thanks. Autoimmune stuff is just...the worst, when it comes to getting actual diagnoses.

[such_heights]

Oof, that’s a lot, very sorry to hear it. <333

[kaydeefalls]

Thanks. <3

[upwithmittens]

having an answer is a good thing, but I'm sorry this is happening in the first place. Sending hella love both your ways

[kaydeefalls]

Thanks. <3

[jadelennox]

good thoughts to both of you! A diagnosis is nice, because it means they know what to work with and she's possibly a good candidate for treatment!

Either way, it's just one more thing at a rough time, and I offer you hugs.

[kaydeefalls]

Thanks. And yeah, I'll definitely take a coherent diagnosis over all the years of wtf-ery. <3

[newredshoes]

I have nothing smart to say, but just: all the hugs to you both. ♥

[kaydeefalls]

Thanks. <3
