Typical day: I know that people mean well and they tried to understand what I go through every day, but there is no comparison with multiple sclerosis. People who have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis have different symptoms there are some that are similar, and there are some that no one had ever experienced.

To compare a disability, handicap, chronic illness and paralysis is not something that we take very lightly. What I go through every day is not something people understand and it does not feel great when other people compare themselves to me. It makes me angry sometimes because this is with me every day, and when someone has broken or sprained their leg or ankle, they go out of their way to tell me, yeah I know exactly how you feel when they don’t. Today is a hard day because  I am still suffering from brain fog and burning eyes from my classes last week. I look like I smoked a lot of joints which I didn’t, but that’s what I look like. I’m still here and kicking some MS butt!
