I need to get this out. I went out for a friends birthday recently, didn’t want to go but made the effort. I only stayed for a couple of hours & when waiting for my lift, my balance went & I stumbled backwards, fell & landed on my back on a concrete post. Everyone assumed I was drunk, you know the usual. My so called best friends left me to it, one being my sister in law. My husband picked me up & took me home. I woke up the next day in agony so off we went to the hospital. They told me it was badly bruised but no breaks or fractures. When telling my brother his response was you should stop getting pissed then. I’m absolutely fuming & feel massively let down. I wasn’t drunk

I should also add that these 2 roll their eyes whenever I bring up MS
Hi
That’s awful for you I am sorry you had this happen, but your friends and family should hang their heads in shame, they should be more understanding.
Chin up don’t let them spoil things for you.

That’s awful they should be more considerate and even if you were sozzled they still should have helped you.
I hope you recover quickly and your friends and family offer an apology for their behaviour.

Thank you - I guess I just needed someone else to tell me they were being rubbish friends & family
Honestly some people, you expect it off strangers, but not your nearest and dearest, I’m not surprised you’re fuming, I would be too 
I’m just grateful you didn’t break anything, because that would have made things a lot worse, as skippysprite says, chin up and don’t let this spoil it for you.
Take care of yourself,.

I am sorry that this happened to you. It’s disheartening when you’re doing your best and making the effort and you get nothing but cheek or worse. And a nasty fall too! Not a good day. I hope that you feel better soon.
Whenever I was early 20s and drinking a lot we still took care of any of our friends we thought had too much. The fact you have MS shouldn’t even be on their minds they should just be concerned for your welfare overall before blaming alcohol. I know you mentioned it was family involved but if this was me, I personally wouldn’t be rushing to be in their company again.
I’m notorious for not being able to handle alcohol now, and when my friends see I’ve had enough they make sure I get home safely, and we are males (not that it matters, but usually the less attentive of the sex’s). Hope you’re doing better.

Well said!
Thanks all. I have decided to distance myself from those who were unkind or unhelpful. Thankfully I do have other friends who aren’t judgemental & understands the difficulties & limitations this shitty illness gives you.
I do feel better for ranting so thank you all.
Chin is up
