My best friend thinks that "90% of people diagnosed with MS actually have Lyme Disease"; my daughter-in-law thinks that all diseases are caused by dehydration (she read a book) and MS can be cured by drinking water; another friend thinks I'd feel better if I "got out more", AND another relative is concerned that I will "convince myself" that I'm disabled.

Where's that banging head against the wall smiley when I need it???

HUGSSSSSSSSSSS dear....scream all you want..I understand...I love when in limbo..and get the, well maybe it IS ALL IN YOUR HEAD..from relatives even..uggggg
hugsssss,sarah

lol I had to laughed i been using headbanger a lot lately, I can totally understand let DIL know water isnt working, going out in this weather, is like water on the wicked witch or the east or west or wherever, IM MELTING
i am sure well i sure hope they mean well, it just gets old fast sometimes. Hang in there

Water's the cure???

Why werent we told this? It's got to be a conspiracy between the drug companies and the doctors!

So, how do we use water as the cure? Does it have to be blessed by the Pope? Or shipped in from Lourdes, France?? Or does any water work? (tap, bottled, sparkling? distilled?? stagnant?)

Do we have to bathe in it, or just drink it?

These are things we MSer's need to know, so we wont wrongly become convinced that we're all disabled (or will be disabled)

didn't you ladies know if you would just put some lipstick on you would feel better?

my jaw dropped when i was told that. <------see

But, I'm allergic to most makeup!!

Will Chapstick work?

That reminds me of a job application story . . .

I was in New Zealand, and wanted to stay for about another year. I applied at this Car Rental place (like Budget) for a managerial position, through an agency. I was more then qualified for the job . . .

The agency called and said I didn't get it. When I asked if she knew why, she said "the GM thought I didn't wear enough lipstick".

Fast-forward a few months, after landing a very pretigious and high-paying position somewhere else, low and behold this "GM" comes knocking at my door for our business. His face dropped when he saw who I was.

After his spiel, I promptly reminded him that "I don't wear enough lipstick to be a good business associate".

What comes around, goes around.

Cherie

I have a friend who says if I ate a macrobiotic diet with algae he's 99% sure I'd get better.

Why aren't any of these people doctors?

Why aren't they just quiet?
