Please don't feel like the Lone Ranger. MC is a life-altering disease, and it changes everyone's personality, whether we care to admit it, or not - it affects some much more than others. Sometimes the changes are so subtle that we don't even notice them, and in some instances the changes are quite dramatic.

I believe this is a largely unknown, (to the medical community), aspect of the disease, but it could be argued that it is the most salient feature of the disease, IMO, especially when the long-term implications are considered.

Tex, it seems like this poll is closed now.. we get to see the results as soon as we open up the topic and cannot vote . Is there any way you can open it again? It would be interesting to see the results over a larger sample.

I took the Meyers -Briggs years ago and was an INFP and now I am a INFJ. Guess MC has made me more practical... a lilttle "harder" maybe. :-)

No, the poll is still open. Probably, you clicked on the "view results" button, at some point, and you're still using the cookie that resulted from that action. When you do that, the system modifies the cookie on your computer to lock the poll in the "view results" mode, and you can't go back.

Here's how to vote, (of course if you have ever voted in this particular poll, this won't work, but if you have not yet voted, here's how to reset that cookie:

Clear the cookie cache in your browser, and close all open tabs of your browser, (so that the cookie deletion is completed). Then, when you reload your browser, and log on again, the system will set a new cookie, and you will once again have the voting option available to you. A quick and easy way to clear the cookies set by this board, is to click on the link at the bottom of the page, that says, "Remove cookies set by this forum", and follow the directions in the pop-up window.

If it doesn't work, for some reason or other, please let me know.

Hmmm ... I did what you said and still saw the results so I guess I must have voted at some earlier point! I do have an excuse though, you know.. brain fog :razz: (obviously I did this before I went GF..... )

This was very interesting. I have never taken the test and really was not sure what I was...

It said I was ISFJ, Guardian- Proctector...

It was head on!! That's just amazing.

Interesting. I am very familiar with this. It is MBTI. I took the personality indicator in grad school. I am infp. (I am a borderline i/e) My husband is a certified MBTI trainer. He used this when training employees before he retired. It is a very well respected personality indicator. He used to be hired by organizations throughout the country to give training sessions on this. It is based on Carl Jung.

Foxnhound,

That's one of the many reasons why I believe that stress plays a much bigger role in this disease than the medical community realizes.

Well, that is probably true in my case...mine started about a week after my husband told me he wanted out of our marriage. First I had a bad cold and was taking Advil Cold and Sinus and then I had uncontrollable D. The week before Christmas I had my colonoscopy and then came my diagnosis. The Entocort and eating a very low fiber diet seems to have me doing all right now.
