MS is....

Well, what exactly is MS? We've already addressed the multiple sclerosis from a medical viewpoint. But what's it like actually living with it? What really happens, when you wake up in the morning to find some new symptom?

How do you feel about it? Is it funny or as my daughter-in-law would say, not so much? Well here's a birds-eye look at MS through the eyes of an MSer.

...seeing the humor in everything-from a simple pun to a rowdy knee slapping joke

...getting used to your body being something different each day

...have to hold on to someone

...making naps a significant part of your life

...having some system to let your family know what kind of day you're having

...learning that MS generally responds to less fatigue, less heat, and less stress

...stumbling when you close your eyes in the shower

...having to stop and think what $49 and $49 are

...bumping down the stairs on your bottom for safety reasons

...saying the wrong word three times in a row

...having your spouse tell you the same thing three times

...scouting out restrooms every place you go

...learning to point your toes UP to ease a muscle cramp

...spending a lot of time in the pharmacy
