People sell you stuff for MS?

[MuffinBirdie]

I was just wondering how you guys feel when companies mail you stuff wanting you to buy whatever it is they're selling that will "help" you out. I mean they're selling is specifically to people with MS. Not drugs though, I'm talking about things like Amigos and stuff like that. Do you guys ever get that stuff in the mail?

I've been reading this forum for awhile now, but this is my first time ever posting. I was just wonding how that makes you guys feel?

Hi Muffin, I'm from Michigan too - near Detroit. Your post reminded me of an experience I had. About two weeks after I was discharged from the hospital (right after my MS dx) I got a catalog in the mail, it was home health supplies - - wheelchairs, incontinence underwear, catheter supplies.... I was so upset, I threw it out. I still get these catalogs but now that I'm calmer they don't bother me. I still wonder how that company knew to send me their catalog, I would hate to think they got my name and address from the hospital.....
