I have been so bad with this Blog, but have so much to talk about…
The biggest update…my husband started to have numbness in hands, legs and feet, tingling, back pain then started having trouble walking.
In December of last year, he started falling…a lot.
He works as a Maintenance Technician and due to his job being so demanding, he stopped working until we found out what was going on.
4 months later, 4 Specialists, 5 MRI’s and after a ton of blood work, we are finally getting to a diagnosis…which is unfortunately, Mutiple Sclerosis. He hasn’t been OFICIALLY diagnosed, but the MS Specialist gave us pamphlets to look over for treatment. She ordered another set of bloodwork to rule out anything other diseases.
Unfortunately, my husband did not add Short Term Disability on his insurance when he was hired so he has had ZERO income, and everything is now on me. We did not know he was going to be out of work for this amount of time, so we just applied for Social Security/Disability which could take a year to even approve!
I have just been so sad. I am sad for my husband to see him so sick and I am scared that eventually out bills are going to catch up to us.
My so-called friends haven’t reached out to see how he is doing and that really makes me annoyed and angry!
We have been married for 5yrs and I just didn’t expect to go through this “sickness” this early on in our marriage, but just goes to show us how quickly LIFE can turn around on you. He is only 47 and, on a walker, right now.
We go back to the Dr. next week and I am praying we get the diagnosis, discuss treatment and schedule when he can start so he can start feeling better.
A 47yr old man does not deserve to live his life on a walker.
The good thing about MS is that it’s not a death sentence and treatment has come a long way. People can still live a good life and I am determined to have that for my husband. 🙂
