Losing friends

Hey. Have any of you lost a considerable number of friends since being diagnosed? I was only diagnosed in December last year (best Christmas present ever) and in six months I've lost all friends and the only thing I can put it down to is the MS. Just to put it into context I'm a 21yo guy and I didn't stop doing anything after the diagnosis but my friends seem to have just effed off.

@tedible I never had a large group of Friends before diagnosis to begin with, the ones I did have moved on with their lives. Still in a small amount of contact with them via Facebook etc, but now we are more acquaintances than friends.

@Stumbler

It's lack of awareness and ignorance. Friends are embarrassed by not knowing what to, and what not to, say. So, they stay away.............
