Hi, I would like to know how come friends seem to disappear when things go bad in your life. Especially, when you can't do the things you use do, like my drinking buddies. I not a friend anymore, I don't drink. I guess I should really not call them my friends. It is very difficult to find a true friend these days. I have my sister but she does not understand. And of course I have my husband but I would love my friends back to talk about funny things, girl things, do things (even though sometimes I can't) But just to know they are there. It is pretty sad that people don't want to know you anymore if you walk slowly with a cane and can't be there for them like you use to. Oh well, I just wanted to get that off my chest. Fairwell old friends and hello to new ones.

I think that must happen to a lot of us and it does suck totally. Then when your own family treats you like a nutcase to it makes for a very lonely life. Thank goodness there is this board. Keep coming here there are so many GREAT people to share and love you. They all did for me .
Screw your old friends and be sure to go to one of those all night online parties they have here they are so funny .
Anyway , you are not alone there are plenty of us here to be with you.

Ok, so this is how you get friends. You move to one of the states (or countries) that allow medical marijuana and I bet you can get lots of friends. Well, maybe not friends but you could be popular with some folks. Ok, so maybe not popular in a friendship kind of way but never mind. Would you settle for a few people in a MS chat room that like you for just the way you are right now?

Some people just don't understand and get scared. Its a shame cause we are the same people as we were prior to the dx.
I have a pic on a web page that says:
"A friend is...one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out".
Hopefully your friends will realize you are the same fun person...good luck.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
