Hi my mom has m.s. she was diagnosed 2 years before I was born. I love my mom more than anything in the world, she is my most important person. My parents are divorced and after my dad left my mom started having stronger symptomes than before. I have an older brother who is 3 years older who lives with us but I feel I can not trust him, for the reason he does not really help me take care of her. Its really hard. I think my mom doesn't really know who I am whe she has an episode. I just turned 18 a couple months ago but since after I turned 13 I had to be taken out of school because I got sick. I was "home schooled" from the begining of 8th grade until graduation. But really what I did could not really be counted as school because I was to sick to really do it. I was always an A student I played basketball softball swam, now I can't do any of it. It was hard to get out of bed even just to go the bathroom 10 feet away. The doctors couldn't find out what was wrong with me. Now I just turned 18 and the doctors are thinking they might finally know whats wrong. You guessed they think I might have m.s. But I don't want to get the test done. I'm scared I don't want to turn out like my mom. Who would take care of her. What would happen to her. She is getting so forgetful that I have to catch her from going outside because she keeps taking odd things (like a picture that was hanging on the wall) and saying that she needs to drive to the store. I'm scared we moved 2 years ago and I don't know anyone hear because I feel to bad to go out. I'm tired all the time from forcing myself to get up and taking care of my mom. I can't even ask my dad for help even in a small way because the women he left my mom for hates me, because I remind he of my mom. Can I get advice on what I should possibly do. I beleave in God but this feels like the devils work. Help Please!!!!
