@flib Do they know you have MAC? Tactfully tell them to educate themselves. What tdrell said is so true. Relatives need to understand it is not you giving them something, but your having to protect yourself from their giving you something. My family is very considerate about that. Hopefully, yours will figure it out.

@irene, thanks I've made an effort to explain mac and bronc,, printed out articles etc. most cannot relate to it. If I said I had TB they would have some reference for.it ..and would also run like hell. I've given up explaining myself. Mostly I say OK when asked how I am or sorry, not up to talking right now and I always let people know that I'm not contagious. Flib
