572.0. "MULTIPLE PERSONALITY DISORDER" by BTO::WORCESTER () Mon Aug 29 1988 12:41

    
    
     
     Is there a notefile in this conference on "MPD," Multiple Personality
     Disorder?  
    
     Is there anyone out there who has a spouse, child, relative, or
     a friend with such a rare disease?
                              
     I happened to be married to one for 8 years.   I feel like I'm
     walking a tightrope...especially with 2 beautiful daughters age
     4 and 6... 
    
     Believe me, it's hard to talk about it over the tube.  But, therapys
     are ridiculously expensive, even with John Hancock paying 80% of
     the bills.  Treatments for my spouse sees no relief in sight. It
     goes on and on and on...

	Or try SELF_HELP at MYRRH::SELF_HELP.

	Good luck - I am sure you will find what you need, you are doing 
	the first step and that is talking/asking questions.

    	ALSO TRY  KAOA01::ARTHRITIS
    	OR  HYDRA::HOLISTIC
    
    	And now to get to this topic...........
    		I personally have been going through the same delima.
    	My sister has a disease which is fatal. Noone quite knows how
    long she has to live. 
    	Everyday it is a battle... It seems so unfair at times, and
    I personally would trade places with her today if I could. Watching
    her, the family and the hell the kids are going through is unbelievable
    at times. 
    	I am not sure what your circumstances are, but I sympatize with
    you very much. I wish I could say something to take some of your
    pain away. I guess I just want to say this for now:
    	Use the notesfiles. There is a lot of support out there from
    some very special people. I have turned to them many times through
    many notefiles, and have never been disappointed. Use them and you
    will learn to go, love and understand.
    	I wish you well, and hope you do make sense of it all. My thoughts
    and hopes go out to you and your family.
