Okay, what do you say to your coworkers when they stare at you twitching and tremors?
I've been working through this limbo, DX'd with transverse myelitis with a bright/enhanced lesion at C2 so far. Brain next week (i hate insurance companies).
Anyway, my difficulty walking, body twitching and hand tremors are obvious. I've been answering the questions with the truth, "they don't know yet."
What do you say? I don't want the label. I have a sister with PPMS and I KNOW that when they know they treat you differently. I watched it happen with her. Not just at work, but friends and family too!
Anyway, what excuses do you use? Or should I just say what it is and grow beyond the stigma??????
