Sometimes I wonder if people really understand what Multiple Sclerosis is and how it affects my body? Lately, it’s like I’m constantly having to explain why I’m not walking well, you don’t look good, or why I can’t type 40-50 hrs a week on the computer. I get answers or comments from people – you’re getting worse, you should turn yourself in to the hospital so they can assess and diagnose you, and then you will become a ward of the state. After the diagnosis, they will put you in a nursing home. I’m just wondering do people realize how cruel and disheartening this sounds to me? Still staying strong and bound and determined not to let MS kick my butt!!
