This is my beef…

EVERYONE has the internet.

Before people start spewing unsolicited advice, holistic\herbal remedies, self educated internet “Doctor” and positivity bullshit, how about “I’m not familiar with this illness. I wish you all the best.” - as a stranger. Now as a friend or family member I think an appropriate response would be, “I’m sorry you are dealing with this. I don’t know much about MS, but I’m going to do some searching on the internet to find out more about what it is and see if there is anything I can do to try and understand it and assist you better, if possible.”

None of this positivity Bullshit.

I KNOW people who had conditions far worse than mine, but that doesn’t make MY SUFFERING and mental anguish any less then there’s. Everyone is suffering in their own ways, but to compare it to “but he has, she has… it could be worse you could have…” blah blah blah. It’s not a game to see who is suffering more…

If you don’t know my feelings and my body, who are you to judge me and push your nonsense on me?

This is generally why I TRY to hide it and not talk about it. People are idiots. Even if they try and mean well, I inevitably just end up getting pissed off.
