I care less what other people think of me now than ever before though I have noticed I have quite the inferiority complex when with those in senior positions at work. I used to be able to hold my own, but more and more, I get red in the face and stutter.

But really, who gives two hoots what they think of me? Eh? I do? really? me, care?
Well maybe I do then...

Well, there are people that don't like me occasionally because I make them work... In general, I'm not dis-liked. I think...

And I really couldn't care less. And there really isn't anybody I dis-like. There are facets of individuals I don't like but... My boss has the attention span of a 2-year-old and makes bad decisions but I tolerate it. Other people in high places are just plain stupid but I just inwardly laugh.

Dej - I think what you are feeling is perfectly normal. This past flare has changed your life in ways you didn't expect. Of course you are feeling insecure right now and rightfully so. I would be the same what. In fact, when MS 1st hit and I would walk like a drunk, I finally broke down and got a cane just so people didn't think I was drunk.

Now to answer your question, I get insecure like that, especially around my period. In fact, I think it's common in women around that time as I know so many women who have complained about that same thing.

Keep you chin up and know that you are well loved around here and respected. Also, you have a wonderful and supportive DH, which makes all the difference in the world. Hang in there and know that you are normal.
