I was diagnosed with MS in 2001 and it has been a long ride since. You want people to not treat you differently, but when you start to become unable to do normal activities, it can get a little frustrating. My life is not perfect and is almost never easy. Life is full of challenges and this is my biggest. But as long as I know that I'm not alone in this fight, it gives me the strength to keep on living the life that I have.
