Thats the second time this week I’ve been asked if I have had a knee operation!  
 
When I reply ‘No,  I have Multiple Sclerosis’ 
 
Their reply has been the same & generally always is….
 
“I am sorry”
 
I just tell them, “thankyou but don’t be because I’m not!”
 
Why oh why do people offer their sympathy when there really is no need.
 
I’m just the same as they are, going through my day one stumble and brain fart at a time.
Only difference is I have a sprinkling of MegaSpecial and they don’t!

I have a passion for nearly all forms of exercise! Most definitely Pilates, the Gym, Weight lifting & studying Yoga. Unfortunately I am now unable to do these things the ‘normal’ way. I can still do it, but now I have to be sitting down! My vision is to write a book on how changing your mindset can change your life! Lover of Photography, Digital art and Blogging Oh yeah, and I just happen to have Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic pain & Chronic fatigue as well! Which means I exercise in the morning to help manage my pain & then fall asleep in the afternoon! My aim is to inspire and be inspired, to continue to be strong and continue to be confident! I may be slow at blogging but that is only due to my MS. As with everything, I'll get there eventually!

  1. Exactly!
    I always dislike it when people tell me how sorry they are I have MS! I’m like “I’m not sorry at all I have it, so why should you be? You can’t catch it.”
    Why do people always give sympathy to people who are generally happy?

    1. I honestly believe its because they don’t know enough about it & don’t know what else to say! Just keep smiling! 😉
