The one constant with MS is there is NO CONSTANT!!! While we have some symptoms in common, no two people experience MS the same way. To that end, it drives me batty when I meet people who know (a cousin, wife's sister, friend of a friend, man down the street) who was diagnosed X years ago and "is just fine."

Do you miss the person you were before MS?

What bits of "advice" do you wish people would stop telling you?

When you go to ER, what do you take with you?
Are you starting to forget things? How do you keep your mind in shape?
I randomly forget things, it's kind of like walking, i have to think about it once in a while
