I've been meaning to post this for a while. I think it proves how truly ignorant some people are about MS.
When i first told my boss about my dx his reply was "oh, i've never heard of that. Must not be very important". He also promptly walked away and acted as though i had the plague for about 2 weeks. (can't say i minded too much lol )
Later on i was talking with my future MIL, who i just happen to work with, about how my muscles were so tense and this heat was making it worse. (this is when we had the 2 weeks of almost 100 weather) I didn't realize he had come into the room and he proceeded to interrupt me and tell me that the heat should make my muscles feel better, it always makes him feel better. I of course explained that the heat makes things worse, not better and his response was that didn't make sense. Of course this is the same person that didn't realize that there are nerves sending messages to and from our brain constantly.
This kind of stupidity just boggles my mind.
