With this disease it is so easy to throw in the towel, and that is the worst thing we can do.
From Teri Garr
Oddly enough, MS has made my life so much better than it was before. I now appreciate what I have and I am not running around like a rat in a maze.
I have a disease, but I also have a lot of other things.
MS doesn't define who I am.
If you get a diagnosis, get on a therapy, keep a good attitude and keep your sense of humor.
I understand how hard it is to talk to people about MS. You don't want pity or random advice.
You can keep it to yourself, but you could also call a support team like the team at MS LifeLines. They are there to support the MS community and give good advice.
I have heard all kinds of stories about telling employers about MS and I really don't know what the answer is. I am a private person, but I have found support by talking to fellow MSrs in the community.
I refused David Letterman's proposal of marriage for obvious reasons, but thanks for asking.
There were symptoms that I saw, and though I went to many doctors and had many tests, no one diagnosed MS.
