The difficult truth is that you cannot control what another person is thinking or saying, you can only control your reaction to it.

Your MS has created paralysis. You know it is part of your particular problem. You have tried so many things (short of bee stings and I would never do that either).

I believe people say things because they want you to be better. It is an irrational wish they have for you. You are as good as it gets.

All I do is listen, nod my head and reply that those people with MS that "seem just fine" are so lucky. My MS is so different. That's the way it works.

As for DH, tell him it is not funny. Make jokes at his own expense. If he does it again, tell him again. Not in an angry way, just nice and quiet until it is seared into his brain!!!

It is my "take no prisoners" approach to my marriage!!
