I am single and am looking for someone to spend time with. Many times I meet someone that is how I am treated. I do use a walker, but why am I treated this way. I work with kids and they treat me better. It is just my imagination>

Look into finding local MS Society meetings. Lots of greatvpeople out there who will understand. You just gotta find your people. Don't let anyone make you feel less than. You're way stronger than they are just for dealing with what you deal with on the daily. MS is a bitch. ❤️

I think people look at us and see a walking talking diagnosis that scares them - if it happened to her . . .

I use a walker too and it is NOT your imagination. Kids think my walker is cool. ;)

Find someone else who is disabled and have coffee with them, they will understand and won't treat you like a leper. ANY disability will do.
