techpawn's Journal: subsection of a subsection

It's amazing to me the number of other /.ers that have MS. It's actually kind of comforting. When I was first diagnosed I told them I wanted to get back to work. Even if half my body didn't work I could still type with one hand and damn it, that was good enough for a code monkey. But, to see the number of us affected with it by having or knowing a person who has it kind of, in a sick way, gives me comfort that I'm not alone in this subgroup of a subgroup.

It's not an easy illness and it's made me rather cynical but hey, fuck it, they aren't going to cure it any time soon so might learn how to live with it. I just hope people are claiming to have it for the sake of karma whoring
