And yet another reason to blame it on my MS... - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

OK, I have 2 meanings to the initials MS, one of course is Mutiple Sclerosis, the other is a very personal one not meant to hurt me but meant to be humerous in embarrassing situation given to me by my family is Multiple Stupidity. I'm sure many of of the old mouth talks before the brain can approve or vis versa thing going on with your MS. Lord know I sure do, I say so many out of order and out of line and out of the blue things it's scary.

So, Monday I'm sitting in my Endo's office getting my thyroid checked (I'm hypo). I asked him if he had the labs faxed to him from my blood draw on Saturday at the hospital. He contiues to flip thru my file. Ah, here it is he says. He walks toward me and I ask "So doc, what's my THC level?"!!!!

It did not hit me that I had said that until he looked at me funny and said, after he cleared his throat "Well your TSH levels are great, right where they should be."

I think we both let that little slip slide on by. Although I'm sure for my next draw he's gonna have them check me for that, just for the heck of it.

I swear the MS has sucked my brain dry and left me with swiss cheese and spider webs.

LOL! Hey, my best friend, who doesn't have MS, refers to the lovely place with plants and trees as the "Arbitrarium". And she takes a supplement called CLA - for weight management. Problem is, she always calls it "CLR" (the potent remover of Calcium, Lime and Rust)!

ROFLMAO I would have cracked up laughing as soon as I realized what I said!

I make jokes a lot when I'm nervous and they are sometimes inappropriate. I kept having problems with an ingrown toe nail (same foot, same toe) so the doctor decided to give me a local and burn it with acid so it wouldn't come back. Well don't ya know the darn thing came back, he said he had never seen that happen before so I told him I must have built up a tolerance from my teenage days

. Fortunatly I'd been seeing him for a couple years and he liked me a lot so he laughed. I ended up having surgery to have it removed so it’s all good now.

Although I did my fair share of experimenting as a teenager I am NOT like that as an adult (drinking, drugs, etc) nor do I condone it. I'm just relating to the quick slip of the tongue (mine was out of nerves not mistake tho).
