I am a 31 year old man with RRMS.  Things have recently been a little more challenging than usual.  I've applied for Social Security and have been denied.  I spoke to an attorney and he said that if I went into a court room to appeal the decision, that they would look at me and laugh.  When people look at me, they don't see the pain that I feel inside.  They see the outside of me, which I happen to disguise very well with a smile.

I'm getting by, but like most people, just getting by can be very stressful and depressing at times.  I guess where I live don't make things any easier.  I'm pretty much in the middle of nowhere with nobody to talk to, to share what I'm going through, or who understands what we have to live with everyday.
