We all now the troubles and difficulties of living with MS.
Unfortunately, certain members of my family habitually use the fact that I have MS as an opening or an excuse to call me. They call to check on me or tell me they saw a TV segment about someone with MS -- but their true motives are to ask for a favor or loan.
Example from a "concerned" cousin: "You know it is not good for you to be at home all the time. You need to get out of the house. I am flying in tomorrow afternoon, maybe you should pick me up from the airport."
This is really beginning to irk me. I know that I have MS and don't want to be reminded of it, especially from people who have ulterior motives.
OK, so ends my rant.
