I was just wondering if you have many people who try to tell you what the "reason" you have MS is due to?
I have had so many "intentionally good friends" tell me that I have my issues due to things I eat or drink.
I am just wondering if you also have had to deal with this. I try to be a gracious as I can, but sometimes I just get frustrated at the many many comments!
Anyone else?

The Doc's don't even truly understand what triggers MS I get a kick out of all the people in the medical industry I know telling me I should try this it will do wonders. If it was that simple we all would not be on $2000 a month of drugs that may or may not be slowing the progression my favorite is that this it will boast your immune system. I respond with My immune system is confused and is attaching itself so why would anyone in their rite mind want to boost their system up to attack it self more.
And my all time favorite you don't look sick the best reply came from a young lady here on DS and that was and you don't look like a asshole.
Love to use that reply not very nice but at times makes me shut them up and feel good for a few mins
