Can you believe it?

This morning I was told that there was surprise in the fact that I am 30 years old and have MS. I swear if I hear this one more time I am going to grow wings to pick that person up, fly to the heavens and drop them so they might land in my world!!!

Fattius At 33, I hear a lot that I don't look like I have MS. I don't know what a person with MS should look like. Don't let other's words bother you! I know that is easier said than done though.

I like that it is really irritating don't they know I already know I have MS REALLY!!!

It doesn't matter if you're 30 or 60, you still get the "gee but you look great" in other words, it doesn't look like there is anything wrong with you. I could scream sometimes, but I just smile and say thanks.

This has been the consensus

I was only 21 when diagnosed. MS has no age limit!

I am 63 diagnosed at 58. Many friends and relatives ask me how I am feeling. Before I can answer they say you look great. I just answer that I am feeling great. They really don't want to know the truth. But I don't ruin the day or make myself feel worse by giving them a litany of my MS issues.

This is almost Been the consensus with everybody I have listened to

@RobertCalifornia

That is so true. They have little time or patience for the truth. It is pointless to get into it sometimes!
