I feel like this is the one thing you dont say to MS patients...
My best friend that I've known for 5 years has never been anything but supportive of me, asked if I'd ever thought if I'm a hypochondriac.... 😔 In credibly insensitive and discouraging. I spent the last 7 years of my diagnosis being in denial of my pain and symptoms. But after 2 relapses in 2021 there is just so much damage and new issues I can't ignore it any longer. I just got done with 5 appointments of scams and tests yesterday I'm exhausted and do not want to be the way I am. Certainly not imagining and of it. I use to pride myself on never speaking or acknowledging anything.... Mayne I should go back to that... this really hurt me like I never expected it to....
There's hard too get taken seriously with MS. Like it's make belive when you talk to people. Maybe that's why I've gotten do lonely over the years. Just because you look good doesn't mean that your well. It doesn't always show. Anyone feeling like me?
I feel for you sweetheart but don’t let off-hand comments like this derail you. You have had to be strong from the moment you were given your diagnosis and every day since then. You’ve had to be inventive and clever to cope with your problems just don’t let this comment, or any others (and believe me we’ve all had them from thoughtless friends) get to you - you’re so much better than that!
