Today’s episode is special in that there is no guest to interview. It’s just Kathy – talking about something that we, as MS’ers, hear often -  "but you look so good."

Kathy suggests that there are two ways to take that: good and bad! As a compliment or as someone questioning either your diagnosis or your suffering.

In typical FUMS fashion – Kathy suggest questioning our knee-jerk reactions and asks us to instead, "take a minute and examine intent."

Her opinion may be a bit controversial in the MS community – but Kathy welcomes comments and opinions here, on the FUMS Facebook page, on the FUMS Twitter account, on Instagram, or FUMSvideos on YouTube. 

Topics covered include:

• Examining intent in all communications
• Assessing relationships
• Knowing the differences between true friends and those that wish us harm
• Recognizing an asshole – and cutting them out of your life!
