Who here has an ill parent? Options

[BlackCelicaGT94]

My mom has been ill for nearly 20 years with Multiple Sclerosis. Its been really hard for me to deal with. I see her sick all the time and she puts up such a front that shes feeling ok. I know shes not though! :-(

Multiple Sclerosis
A chronic degenerative disease of the central nervous system in which gradual destruction of myelin occurs in patches throughout the brain or spinal cord (or both), interfering with the nerve pathways and causing muscular weakness, loss of coordination and speech and visual disturbances.

My mother and father have both shown signs of heart disease and my dad was showing signs of colon cancer.

both of my parents r fine, but my best friends mom has gone through 4 bouts of cancer...breast, colon, uterine and ovium. And the worst part is her husband left her durin her treatment the second time she got it.

and my gf's dad is manic depressive and semi sucicidal aswell as my gf gets numerous panic attacks that vary in range. She had one today and passed out because of it. Its the scariest thing on earth to be with her when shez havin one. The results of them can be minor(ie dizzy ness, upset stomach), to bad/extream. Today after she came too she was goin into convoltions and couldnt breath. She said if it went n e further/if some one wasnt there with her she probably woulda passed out quicker and could have ended up in a coma or worse. Its really scary when every time she has one, it could be ur last few mintues with her.
