Hey guys,

Just wondering if some acquaintances treat you differently since you've developed your sx. There's a large group of people who I used to associated with who are convinced that I have a curse on me (LOL)....When I see some of them, they even offer special stones, or prayers to protect against the 'evil eye.' Just wondering if you guys have experienced unusual feedback from those around you since you've become sick. I'm sure it's well-meaning, but it's kinda scary, and upsetting...Some of these people avoid me as if I have Leprosy or something...Sometimes I feel very retro- as in Before Christ retro! lol
