MRI image of my brain - light patches evidence of inflammation in the white matter caused by multiple sclerosis
My boyfriend surprised me by putting up a Happy Birthday sign in our apartment. I actually got emotional because no one has ever done that for me before.
My Mom was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis on my 17th birthday. That day, I stayed home for nearly six hours while my parents were at the neurologists’ office getting the results of her MRI. That day, they canceled my birthday dinner plans and gave me my gifts in passing. The day was a blur.
After that, my birthday wasn't so much ignored, but a reminder of what happened. Even though the MS wouldn't affect her until February 14th of the following year (yet another holiday with bitter feelings), July 31st was the day it began.
I ended up planning my own birthdays, making my own special birthday dinner, and for a few years, ordered my own gifts on behalf of my parents. I often had to remind them it was coming up. It didn't make for the best memories. My birthday was no longer a cause for celebration and I was OK with that after a while.
When I began going out with my boyfriend, I was taken aback that we began actually celebrating my birthday and the day truly became my own. I'm still "confused" by it and often don't know how to react. Hearing him say, “Whatever you want. It’s your birthday” still brings a tear to my eye.
So a simple sign like that on the wall can really put me over the emotional edge.

My right side has suffered greatly from brain damage due to my MS. My speech has suffered greatly, too. Although I feel WAY better after HSCT, the damage from this auto-immune disease is done.

The day after Thanksgiving. She says she must've overdone it yesterday -- passed her limit without even knowing.
So often, people with multiple sclerosis don't nap. Instead, they crash! They don't even feel it coming; suddenly, they're out of energy. If you love someone with MS, one of the best ways you can help is to make it more possible for them to sleep. And, if you can, make sure there are fewer dirty dishes when they wake up!
