I try not to let others words or opinions affect my mood . It’s hard but I have to . I think you have the right to feel that way . Do you think they said that with ill intent? If not , let it go don’t let little things stress you out . In a few months you won’t even remember they said it .
Absolutely not wrong — that frustration is completely valid and shared by so many living with MS. The invisible nature of MS symptoms is one of the most exhausting parts of the condition. More than half of people with MS deal with fatigue, pain, cognitive issues, and numbness — none of which are visible to others.

You all make perfect sense, i need to change my head
@A MyMSTeam Member, hello my friend. I know your frustration. I have a long true friend that made me feel this. He would try to be supportive when we talked, but comments he made would frustrate me. I later realized these comments came out the ignorance many have of MS. And these comments are like a default reaction/response. We can't educate everyone about MS and it's effects on us, but we can better arm ourselves for these. I got thicker skin so to speak. I still hear them from time to time. I can't stop them, but I can control how I react/receive them. I act like a duck let them roll off back like water.
