Aside from the many people who purport to know someone with MS who "isn't affect at all," I've had only one truly dopey comment. From my Dad when I told him:

"My brother caught that when he was in China during the war."

Most of my life, I was very active and always plenty warm in just a heavy sweater. One winter day when I was in an attack, a friend was freaked out that I wasn't in a coat (I was fine!) and said, "See, you bring all of this on yourself!"

If only I had known that a winter coat would have spared me!

the day I was dx'd with MS (April 3, 2007) ... my neuro said:

'stay outta hot tubs'

I had no clue what she meant ... then realized much later that I can't sense if something is hot or scalding .. so, it would be too late - I would be cooked, more like 'boiled' ... (don't get to use this emoticon very often!)

A stranger asked me, "Are you one of Jerry's Kids?"

I wish we could think of a snappy comeback for that comment.

I have one! My mom's name was Geraldine and she went by Jerry (spelled that way); I have also been asked that lame question and I just say, "Yep, I'm #4 in a litter of six."

I have to add a comment that wasn't said to me but to someone I met via the internet on another site that had nothing to do with MS. But when I mentioned I'd just been dx'd, she told me of her recent visit to her local "Expert" for a new flare (severe balance issues among others). She'd been dx'd for a number of years and been through plenty of flares already. But apparently hadn't seen this guy before:

He simply told her that she couldn't possibly have MS as he "could not smell it on her."

Apparently there is a BIG difference if you see a neuro that graduated at the top of his class and one that graduated at the bottom of the class! Wish we could find out who was who.
