Grrrrrrrr......I really hate that first one!!!!! MS DOES have me and is slowly squeezing the life out of me, just like a python!!!

How about.....my friend has had MS for years and hasn't progressed so much.

OR

This "wonder drug" (snake oil) will have you out of that chair in no time!

Don't ya just feel like screaming, "Put a sock in it?"

what about these?

At least you don't have to work.

Wish I could sit in a chair (w/c) all day

Wish I could park in handicapped parking

Wish I could lay arund in bed/chair/couch all day and relax



Like this is all some sort of friggin vacation...Makes me want to slap some people - and often?!?!

“My uncle had that. He didn’t die for a long time.”

EEEWWW,
The spa-land of MS. Sit in a chair all day (ARE THOSE PRESSURE SORES FORMING DOWN THERE?), great parking (like I have the energy to go shopping and besides I can't drive anymore) yet the laundry needs doing and the kids need stuff. Sigh.

I like the "Inspirational" videos people send me. The guy born with no arms and legs who is so positive (is the camera around when he cries?), talks to kids in school (Uh, he can make money in that way, Do you have any other suggestions?), the one-legged ballerina and her one-armed partner (Like I could dance before MS), MSers who climb mountains (Is there a W/C access trail up to top for me?).
OK, I'm done being bitter. There's laundry to do.

Omg this goes so far beyond "but you look good" which could be ignored as just one of those stupid things people say when they are uncomfortable and don't know what to say. Yeah I'd have a four letter word for anyone with the nerve to say any of the above to me.

What about "are you one of Jerry's kids?"

P.S I loved "but you look so intelligent" LOL

At least you are not in a wheel chair...yet.

Either I'm blessed not to have people like that around me, or I just exude health, but I don't get icky comments. In fact, one day I was bending over, hanging onto the grocery cart and trying to stretch the spasms out of my lower legs. A woman came up to me and asked me if I was all right. I told her yep, just leg cramps...she asked if she could help me...isn't that nice?

I do hate all of the "religious" posts on a certain MS facebook page...don't they think I'm praying all day? I'm a spiritual person, but I am not sure how all of those posts are going to help me when I am cursing from the pain

YOu know if you just took all the gluten out of your diet, all your sx would go away!

oh wait, we forgot the all important one from my mom's psycic. I don't have MS my dead grandmother says to eat sweet potatoes, asparagus and eggplant and it will clear right up!

Yes, I was at a party when I was bombarded with best friend's family; You should try bee sting therapy, fish oil, light candles... oh, and back to the religion thing... I have so many people praying for me it's ridiculous.
