Default Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeem!!!

My best friend thinks that "90% of people diagnosed with MS actually have Lyme Disease"; my daughter-in-law thinks that all diseases are caused by dehydration (she read a book) and MS can be cured by drinking water; another friend thinks I'd feel better if I "got out more", AND another relative is concerned that I will "convince myself" that I'm disabled.

Where's that banging head against the wall smiley when I need it???

I have a friend who says if I ate a macrobiotic diet with algae he's 99% sure I'd get better.

i guess ignorance is not bliss.
and no knowledge is a dangerous thing.
people grasp at all kinds of things when they don't understand something.

it's too bad. do you have a family advocate that might go to a dr's appt with you and bring news back to educate others?

if not just ignore them. there's not much else you can do. sorry.

B2U - yesterday I got have you ever been around anything toxic? did you lead paint as a child? have you been tested for toxic chemicals in your body?

I wanted to scream and say yes, I have been tested for everything I can imagine -even lead!

I know how exasperating people like this can be, B2Y. I have several in my family...apparently they are too busy to try to learn anything about my condition so they just continue to make dumb remarks.
