I've been retired due to ms for less than a year. Already I find my relationships with even my best friends (who I worked with) is drifting apart. And when we do see one another we have less and less in common. Partly because I dont feel like visiting and going places often to keep the commonality between us built up. It's not quite as frustrating for me as it is sad. It is a very hard part of this stupid disease to deal with. Glad I have some new friends on NT. You guys don't expect me to dress up and have loads of energy. I can be your friend with my pj's on....
