A close friend of mine has recently been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and I’m honestly not really sure how to support her.
I want to be there for her, but at the same time I don’t want to keep asking if she’s okay or make her feel like I only see her as someone who is sick.
Some days she seems completely fine and other days she’s really tired and doesn’t feel like doing much. I find it hard to know when I should offer help and when I should just let her be.
If you have MS, what do you wish your friends had understood when you were first diagnosed? And is there anything your friends or family did that really helped you?
