Irish Examiner - Parenting is hard – and harder when you’re sick. Read here https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/parenting/arid-41735928.html

Being a parent with a chronic illness is challenging, but accepting your limitations and being open about the condition can help.

gnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2017, aged 30, Co Monaghan-based mother of two Orla Marron has always been aware of MS, because her mother has it, too. (MS is not directly inherited from parents, but there is a genetic component.)

Married to Christopher, Marron only told her children, Kyle, 12, and Katie, 10, last year. “They were four and two when I was diagnosed. I didn’t tell them then, because their first vision would be granny with MS and mum’s in a more severe state, having had MS for 30 years.”

Marron, who found a treatment that stabilised her condition three years ago, has huge family support. They always helped out on her bad days. “That was a huge relief.”

But parenting with MS was “emotionally very hard”, particularly when the children were young.

The Unspeakable Bits on "Becoming Invisible because of MS"

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system but there are social implications of the disease as well.

From having to leave a job we love to losing friendships and physically not being able to move around in the world as we once did, it's all too easy to 'disappear'.

Even if we try, it can seem that we're invisible. With our panel of experts, we'll talk about that sense of disconnection as well as ways to avoid it or to reenter a world that doesn't seem to see us, at least not how they did before MS.

Sign up for free here https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_aASsR3ZLQNia8h_xeVWFVQ

As always, we'll take your questions on the night or you can submit them in advance to comms@ms-society.ie
