(2,899 posts)185. You have MS
I also am ill with a progressive auto-immune disease. I don't get mad and rant either. I just deal with it.
It's different for my husband though. He's come close to going off on doctors and insurance companies.
I think it's harder for those that feel that it's their duty/job to look after us and protect us.
