Hello all, I wonder: where do we set the limits to what we tell our loved ones - girlfriends / boyfriends / wives / husbands / best friends / family? Should we always share everything, or is that cruel? Should we always hide what isn't obvious about our grief and illness? I of course understand that the answer isn't simple, and that some of you have loved ones that also read the list, but I would like to hear your opinions. Speaking for myself, I feel that saying everything is just too much. I cannot put all that load on my wonderful girlfriend, who already worries enough about my health. On the other hand, I always ask her to accompany me to my neuro, so that she can ask questions to the person who knows the answers. In that respect I wouldn't dream of hiding the facts from her. It's just my fears for the future that I mostly keep to myself. "In sickness and health, for richer or for poorer..." (How does it go?) /John. (30 now /28 dx / 18 onset)
