How should I handle a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS)?

The first shock is the diagnosis. Exactly how a patient handles this depends not only on his or her personality but also on the doctor's. Unfortunately, difficulties are often compounded by misconceptions carried by family and friends, who are capable of making the shock worse.

Because of this, it is best to involve as few people as possible. Ideally, the doctor giving the diagnosis should have evaluated the patient's personality and made the discussion appropriate for the individual. One patient may find more comfort in hearing clinical details of the disease.

Another may cope better without hearing any. The advertising executive may need to address her fear of losing the edge in her competitive world. A newlywed may need to talk about the possibility of future pregnancy.

Unfortunately, the diagnosis is rarely handled this way. Usually the doctor has a stereotyped speech that is used for every patient.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
