Thanks Alex and Lea! How beautiful your relationship and this dialogue is. As one who has SPS, I often wondered about others perspectives. You're both so generous of heart.
Getting SPS was an eye opener on who stayed in my life and who didn’t… The few that stayed will always be here. I have also been blessed to meet real friends because of SPS that have such a positive impact on my life. 🫶
Yes it does bring bright impact into our journeys! The ones that shined stayed in my life… many couldn’t handle it. I have come to no longer care and focus instead on all the positive there is around me 😊
Thanks for this post! I had symptoms of SPS well before diagnosis. As far as friendships and social side it has been a monumental game changer. In brief my friend base is very much smaller. I still keep my diagnosis very quiet. Those people I am friendly with are on the upper spectrum of intellect. They can see that there is a problem but are smart or thoughtful enough not to ask questions. My problems began in the early 1990's but not diagnosed until about 10 years ago...in the middle I went through the "Parkinsons " phase. The practicalities are that with SPS I cannot keep pace with others so I have fallen behind but I have accepted that ultimately.

The ones that stay I know will never leave and I am grateful for them 🫶
I am interested to connect with others SPS people Please let me know if interested and will send email address. Thanks. Greg
AMAZING!!!!!!
Thank you 🫶
I only have 1 friend, when I had so many, but if they stick by you then they are true friends. The others were never your real friends.
As I mentioned in one of the comments below. SPS was a real eye opener in who was real in my life. The people that stayed I know will never leave.
