Would you rather know or not?

My mom’s friend Mrs. K has MS. She was a nurse so she’s seen a lot of stuff. I just wonder if it’s better to know what’s going to happen or not. I know I can’t stand to look at these things. I never do my own research on meds because it scares me. I know if I had something degenerative like that like I couldn’t stand to know. Sometimes I don’t look at myself because I’m afraid of what I’ll see coming. I just hope that I will be ok if I do stay on the meds.

I just wonder if knowing the absolute worst case scenario and seeing it in all stages just makes her depressed. I feel awful for her that she knows.

Would you rather knowing or not?

I would rather know… It’s difficult to deal with, but I think I rather know.

And I’m sorry for your mom’s friend.

I’d rather know, that way you can plan for things as they come.
Nothing worse than knowing something is wrong with you, then waiting/avoiding the dr’s with the false hope that it will miraculously go away on it’s own.
and it don’t.

I don’t need a dr to tell me when somethings wrong with me, I need a dr to help me get through it the best I’m able.
