Hidden symptoms

Hi everyone, does anybody here feel people sometimes don't believe you have MS? Sometimes I nearly feel I have to explain why I only work part time so I share that I have MS... People usually look back blankly and say 'oh yeah? But you're grand.' I guess fatigue, confusion and memory problems are hidden so hard for people to see. Anyone else feel similar? Thanks, katie

@katiecog , it's frustrating, but MS is known as an invisible condition. We all look so well, but inside we're hurting like mad! We can only try and educate.

I think People can't imagine the fatigue, and I find It hard To explain, It's something others can't experience I Guess. I Just say How many hours I can Be Active in a day, and Tell them that normal things like laundry,... are included. It seems like they understand it better afterwards. I often get the strange compliment "but You look Great?!". It used To Be a Great compliment, now It sometimes makes Me feel like they don't gave a clue How devastation MS is for Me...
