I'm just pullin your leg Joelle.

When I met my son's girlfriend's mom she asked me why I limped. I just told her I have MS. It's a disease that affects my nervous system and it really sucks. Her answer.... Wow I bet. On to a new topic

Since she is such a phobic I would start off by telling her that it is not contagious and she can't catch it from you or anyone else. That may be all that needs to be said. Brain was right on about people such as her. Although, some people like her will freak out and start thinking they have it. Sad but it does happen.

You can always explain that your nervous system is not communicating properly and your wires get short circuited.

Let us know how it goes.

Just look her straight in the eye, move a little close as if to tell a secret. Then casually say "That dang Jack D has really did a number on me huh?"


PS: Darnit I missed it! But laughed at your description. lol

Oh, btw, she showed up while I was finishing my post about her being late !! I'll tell ya more about it later or tomorrow. I'm suffering through what I think is a Tysabri hangover today. The same thing happened to me after my last 2 infusions. At least it only lasts for one day . I gotta go lay down because I'm too tired and sore to even chew food .
