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

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

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.

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt

Jeez, we're Montel's kids!!

My religious SIL said to my friend SIL "I've organized a prayer group, we're going to pray for Kicker. What's wrong with her?" (I was in the first shock of DX, not telling details to most. She was just being a nosy b&%$#@).
"God knows" My friend SIL said.
