I've said it before, I don't have MS, but I do thank you all for letting me be here.

I have received 2 potentially life threatening ds's in my 63 years. One was diabetes. The misinformtion out there is unbelievable. Some think they will be dead tomorrow. It, like so many other diseases, is controllable.

The second, most recent, is breast cancer. The big C. I'm only 2 months into this, and will start chemo Tues. Again, there is a lot of mis information out there, and while I've heard a lot of "my _________ had that" but she died. Like I want to hear that. It's ignorance on the part of the speaker. Same with MS.

The only thing for sure about any disease is 140 years from now, we will be dead from something. Since MS is closest to your hearts, it is understandable how it riles your blood pressure. And I agree that ALL diseases need more research and publicity. Not from Big Pharma either!

Paula Deen did the same with Type 2. She lost a lot of cred. Sharon Osborne could too.
