By Brooke Pelczynski

November 20, 2019

In Brooke's comic below, she is attending a support group for people with MS and listening to stories from people sharing how their symptoms have impacted their lives. She expresses fear about feeling like she doesn't belong because her month wasn't too bad but decides to share her update anyway!

<p>Hi Brooke, <br> I would just love if there WAS a physical support group near me. Hmmmm? Maybe I'll have to think about that one!? <br> <br> So happy you had a decent month!</p>

<p>Last week I purposely spilled water on the cat so he wouldn't trip me (seemed fair at the time).</p>

  <p>It's ironic that you should mention this colleena, i definitely can relate! <br> Yesterday at the vet's office, there was a huge "office cat" that I was completely unaware of, that kept weaving herself in and out of my legs while I was TRYING to walk! <br> She would not leave me alone. I was at a total loss as to what to do as the office staff was absent. <br> Thanks for your timely comment! Janus</p>

You don't look sick

Maybe you just need to try a little harder

Stop using MS as an excuse... you can't feel that way ALL the time

It really can't be that bad...

Oh TRUST me... I know exactly how you feel!

You seemed fine the other day...

This diet cures MS!

Are you drunk right now?!

You should try acupuncture, bee sting therapy, etc.

Mind over matter
