I read this, wanted to comment but felt.. kinda embarrassed to.
My sister has MS, she is 4 years older than me.. We haven't ever really got on but since i found out as a result of her collapsing, going blind in one eye, having lots of MRI scans and being lucky to be covered still by my dads private health care.. she was quoted 5 months for an mri on nhs, my dad got involved it was 1 week, we became closer
They still didnt diagnose.. she collapsed the day my mum got married for a second time.. and never made the ceremony.
I have no idea her level of MS, very low but i guess i felt shame for not even knowing the level my sis has.. we still dont get on but things have changed so much. We talk these days, she ob doesnt want to re illness.
ive seen MS rip my best friends family apart, i cant say my sister an i are close even after the ms thing, an i know so many people will think that is fcuked up.. its brought us closer, a little bit at least
its a scary place to be and .. well i totally sympathise with anyone having to deal with it..
this might sound really wrong, and like i dont care (i do , a lot) . it's sad it takes something like that to bring you and your sister/brother closer to you. I'm not preaching but to anyone who might be in a hate hate relationship with their sibling.
Think about it.. cos life REALLY is too short.. My sis has 4 kids an has MS.. I am single an ok.. how guilty do i feel....
waffle over.. xx
