I've found that most people have heard of M.S. but very few know what it is and what it does to it's victims. I'm trying to put together an M.S. FACT list so that I can post one M.S. fact a day on my FACEBOOK page. What do you wish people knew or understood about M.S.?
Very nice visual website. But the thing I find is people try to give me ways to fix myself, like I need to exercise. They never seem to understand it's a broken message issue between the brain and the voluntary muscles. And it's not mind over matter when the an MSer has reached their limit, "limit" means limit, end of story!
That everyone diagnosed with MS does not necessarily experience the same symptoms.
I think other should realize our physical limitations - I just can't do what I used to. Caretakers and friends forget this because "we look so good"
It is NOT contagious.
Cement feet.
Extreme fatigue.
We are not lazy.
That it can't always be seen!! That what's not disabling to some of us is disabling to others. That MS looks and feels different for everyone who has the disease.
