Conversation from this afternoon.
“Sorry I couldn’t answer the door before, I’m a bit poorly today.”
“Oh dear have you got this dreadful virus?”
“No, I’ve got MS.”
The look of confusion is almost laughable.
Do I explain?
Steve
You should have said “Yes”.
You would have got a lot more sympathy.

I’m with you Ellie, I too take great pleasure in their reaction to the question ‘can I catch it?’ oh yes I say, off you go & get your bloods tested, they can then feel a prick again.

Cheers big ears.
I think I can trump you Mr Snore…years ago just after diagnosis I told people at a Bible study about the diagnosis. I was taken aside by a woman (who always had to have a bigger or better one), and she said to me “I had a touch of that once, I know what it’s like”…
Haaaaa…
You haven’t got the proper ms though?! That’s my favourite… ignorance must be bliss x
Then there are the “specialists”.
A neurologist told me it couldn’t be MS because I was the wrong age.
He’s retired now, much to the relief of me and the whole MS community in this area.
