This week, three Star Chic readers ask the resident agony aunt how to deal with their MS diagnosis, a son who does not want his mum moving in and a fiancee who is wondering should they forgive a cheating partner
HOW CAN I COME TO TERMS WITH MS DIAGNOSIS? After three years of what seemed like endless GP visits, consultant appointments and tests, I have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis . The neurologist I spoke to was sympathetic and helpful, but to be honest, I only listened to a fraction of what she said after telling me I had MS.
Feeling confused by it all, I spoke to one of the GPs at my local practice recently and explained that I wasn’t handling it well. However, he seemed more interested in talking about what might happen with MS than helping me come to terms with it emotionally. You need to start making informed decisions about what care or support you feel you might need, and plan for any adjustments you may need. I know it’s daunting, but can it really be any worse than coping with constant fear and anxiety about the unknown, as you are now?
After her second marriage ended, she generously gave me a significant sum of money towards buying my first house with my partner. That’s probably why she now thinks it’s a good idea to move in with us. Finally, in addition to being just bat-s*** crazy, I know she would just want to take over everything.
It’s possible that, after the recent break-up of her marriage, she is feeling particularly lonely, so also arranging to see more of her over the coming months might lessen the blow.
