“You look so good!” What is it about that phrase that makes those of us with MS cringe? Visit any MS related website or blog and you'll find this among the top complaints. It has had a place at the top of my own list.It is meant to be and is, in every sense of the word, a compliment...

Friday, January 11, 2008 at 02:15 PMI had to laugh when I read this. I can't tell you how many times people say that to me! It took me back at first but now I just say 'thank you' and leave it at that. I must say though.. the saying that drive me nuts is: I know someone with MS and they are perfectly fine!
What do you say to this comment? I can't tell you how many times I've been told this in some shape or form!
Again, I just say 'oh well, good for them'.
Its all how we approach life right? I am not about to let silly comments bring me down! I have to much to accomplish.
Cheers

I believe we have the ability to choose how we take comments from others, though it does take practice.
“I know someone with MS and they are perfectly fine!” Oh, yes I have heard that one and it really gets me steamed! Usually it comes from a skeptical source. I do my best to calmly and rationally explain MS, yet I resent the implication. I’ve also come to realize that not everyone who comments is particularly interested in the facts. C’est la vie!
The older I get the more I realize that I don’t have to take everyone else’s opinions to heart.
Perhaps I’ll devote a future post to this topic. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the matter.
