If its on TV it MUST be true!

I saw an ad in a magazine to calm anxous folks who worry about their health. "do you have constant headaches, and worry its a brain tumor?" it went on "do you have trouble speaking, moving body parts, or drooping eye or lips? no? then its probably not a brain tumor." It went on to say "do you have achy sore muscles all the time, and fear its MS?" OMG! OMG! it clarified, "MS is PAINFUL all over, and your muscles are tight, and stiff. if your not tight, stiff, and painful, its probably not MS!" WOW!

I find that some of the TV shows out there, like ER or LIe to ME, or Oprah try hard to bring to light some of the facts, or myths about this disease, but more often than not, they end up looking like Judge Judy when she sniped at a woman who said "I dont work mam, I am on disability." Judy gave her a snide glance, and said "for what! madam!" she said "I have MS." Judge Judy scowled, and said "you look fine to me! I dont see anything wrong with you, that would keep you from a job." I almost crawled through my TV to smack her.

I think 80% of the facts are made up 20% of the time. hehee.
