“I was just angry and frustrated and kept thinking, ‘Why now?’ I’ve got a family and that’s what’s supposed to be the most important thing.”
Man, how awful. Just starting a life with someone you love and having a baby, and now this? What a kick in the ass.
MS, if you guys don’t know, is a nervous system disorder that can affect … well, pretty much everything. Here’s just a short list of thing that could go wrong in a person who’s been diagnosed with MS:
Loss of balance, muscle spasms, numbness or abnormal sensation in any area, problems moving arms or legs, problems walking, problems with coordination and making small movements, tremor in one or more arms or legs, weakness in one or more arms or legs, constipation and stool leakage, difficulty beginning to urinate, frequent need to urinate, strong urge to urinate, incontinence, double vision, eye discomfort, uncontrollable rapid eye movements, vision loss (usually affects one eye at a time), numbness, tingling, or pain, facial pain, painful muscle spasms, tingling, crawling, or burning feeling in the arms and legs, decreased attention span, poor judgment, and memory loss, difficulty reasoning and solving problems, depression or feelings of sadness, dizziness and balance problems, hearing loss, problems with erections, problems with vaginal lubrication, slurred or difficult-to-understand speech, trouble chewing and swallowing … The list really kind of goes on and on, as I’m sure you can imagine based “just” on all of these symptoms.
This is pretty sad for Jack and his new, adorable little family, and I wish them the best. Jeez.
Fucking hell man. That’s awful. My GP has got it and it’s just so heartbreaking, when I first started seeing him he used a cane and now he needs a wheelchair. What a sad story.
I wish the best for him, with new medications and future research on MS, maybe his future will be brighter than expected.
this is truly sad. i can somewhat relate since i was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at 25 about was 1 year into a relationship with my current boyfriend. bombs like this are so awful; but they also have the ability to bring a family together and create an indestructible bond. i wish him the best of luck!
I dont believe it and I have my reasons for that…
I have had MS for 1 year. 51 years old. I am on Copaxone. Have not had a relapse. Feel that stem cell with the bone marrow will be our cure. I live a normal life. Just had to make some modifications on my activities. Mine is sensory. Most people do not go wheel chair bound. Worse scenario is always what you hear. You will have a good life and be a great father. Focus on good and the MS will take a back seat
Good luck
i wonder how fast he lost that weight… I had a friend that got most of her stomach removed and this is what happened to her from loosing too much weight and not enough food/vitamines.
