I had MS over 20 plus years, not all easy. lucky to have no disability etc... but I do feel horribly tired and achey often in the mornings and sometimes I just plain run out of energy. Worked at my job through 2 relapses, one I was half blind. Never told anyone at work nor missed a day, not even for the flu. I had 3 unplanned pregnancies after 39, no help and had MS on top of it. Take my kids to school everymorning, bathed fed and luncheds packed, pick them up, grocery shop, clean house, garden. I took my girls to a boar race and the ren fest both days over 95 and we spent all day oput and walked all over. I am not super human!!!!!
Here is my point. I find my self really disliking people or lacking sympathy for example it was my daughters graduation from kindergarten. My husband mother was going to make it but had her husband call that morning telling us she couldnt because she had very little sleep the night before and just simply could not make it.
I know someone with minor tachycardia but stays home because they are afraid to go out.
Someone who is obese and refuses to diet or get knee surgery so they stay locked up in a tiny apartment watching TV all day.
my sister in law almost 60 has had over 4 surgeries on her back and most recently on her pelvis. She has been all over the US seeing doctors and having surgeries. Why? because she has back pain and c an't wear high heels.
I know many people with back pain including myself with 2 slipped disc's. We do PT, take meds and realize we wil never be 25 again.
I work with people when they get a runny nose they run home sick.
I talk to adults who freak out because they have to get a shot at the doctors.
I think you get the idea. Maybe having MS makes one a little tougher but I find some people just ridiculously whimpy and I just can't find it in my heart to feel bad for them. I often wonder what some of these people would do if they had something serious to deal with?
