hi.
I have tried to read stuff on MS but its just not clear. My grandpa is in the hospital rite now and that is wat they think that he has. they aren't 100% sure yet, which i think is weird. but i really would like to no wat it is. my mom told me to look it up bc she didn't want to talk about it. or told me to ask her in a couple of days. but i just want to no how bad it is or how he got it and wat this means. like is he going to die? or is it not that serious? or wat will this affect for his life? im really worried and all of the research i tried to do just makes things more confusing! plez if u could email me bc i dont wanna miss wat u have to say. thank u so much!

I think a lot of people would want to reply and help, but without knowing details, it would be impossible.

Details would be things like: What did the doctors say, what are the symptoms, and how long did he have these symptoms etc.? The important thing is to gather all the facts. Such information then can sometimes help erase or reduce the fear.

A lot of times, our fear can be our greatest enemy, more than the condition itself. How many times have we worried about nothing, and at the same time ignored things that are important?
