well said sandy,

when i was confirmed with MS the guilt of having it and was it in my kids was riding me bad, then this wise person told me it wasnt like I was in some basement sharing a needle and getter aids or hepatitis,

something of which i could control and prevent, then she said be glad it is not something worse like an inoperable brain tumor,

this did help, it sort of shook the cobwebs from my mind, scary how something like this and the burden and or fear of burdening your loved ones, what it can do to your mental wellness
