it wasn't so much the comments i received upon telling people I had MS as the two comments made from a friend (who, fortunately for them, lives on the other side of the country) the day I was told it is definitely progressive. My friend calls me upon hearing the bad news and tells me how my fiance better hurry up and marry me while I am still able to walk down the aisle; followed by "I am going to get some money set aside so I can come see you before you die". Thanks Buddy, that is exactly what I need to hear after my doc tells me it's not going to ever get better! If I had the money I would have flown the 2,000 miles just to slap this person!
