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