I recently had a nurse friend pass away at 61. She had sarcoidosis which we knew but had no clue she was so ill until she left work early to go to the ER on Wednesday, was discharged that evening, went back to the ER Thursday and passed away in the hospital that day.

It really put things in perspective for me because I really, really don't want to go to work one day and die the next unless of course it is an unexpected car accident etc. in which case I would just be relieved that MS didn't cause me to linger for years.

Dang there really aren't many happy endings are there? I guess it isn't MS specific?
