Lisa Emrich has listed the "Top 50 Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis." I hope U.S. readers here had an inspirational and rewarding Thanksgiving, even if you were/are experiencing some of these. Hopefully, Christmas for you will be relaxing and full of sparkly goodness!
The holidays, though, seem to be a stressful time of year for many folks, and stress is not good for the body. Maybe the best approach is to get analytical about it. If this is a hard time of year for you, why? What unique factors about the holidays make it that way?
Once those answers are in hand, think on what can be done about it. Is there anything someone else can do to help? Telling others what is troubling you may allow them to come up with ways to assist. Modifying traditions and working together to make this time more enjoyable for you will often make them more fun for others. When people love you, they are tuned into you. If you're out of sorts, they'll know it. Allowing them to take some of the burden or brainstorming with you on solutions just might bring the holidays into a healthy perspective for everyone involved.
