I'm trying to think back to those early days when I didn't know what was wrong.....just knew there was something going on that shouldn't be. It was scary.

Too bad they're choosing to be judgmental rather than understanding. That's definitely not the right attitude and I feel sorry for those folks who reacted so harshly.

Sharon Osborne might have verbalized her fears......and we all have them and probably all of us have thought about death at some point during our journey with MS. When something like this happens to you it's one thing but when it happens to one of your children it's a totally different ballgame!

If someone in the media heard this then of course they were off and running with it. That's just the media. Anything that produces "drama" and anything that will sell.

Wish those members could channel their anger and distaste in a more productive way and try to educate folks about MS instead of just criticizing the way another reacts to their diagnosis.
