People stop speaking to you after diagnosis
Since I was diagnosed with ms my sister and a good friend do not speak to me anymore just wondered if this happened to anyone else.

When I was Dx, it shocked my sister and her husband, but they didn't stop spking to me, it took them a while to get used to it, ha it was my Dx, think I needed to get used to it. But previous work colleagues don't stay in touch, I have found a new family/friend circle in MS groups. Some people find it hard to speak to others when they are Dx with illness, it might be worthwhile if you start the conversation, they may just not know what to say. Good luck.
You find out who cares about you real fast. My family members were OK but my friends started disappearing real fast. It was really difficult to handle early on.
