MS sucks but there is always someone worst off than you

I was diagnosed 16 years ago, I was running a business, in partnership with my husband, everything we had was in this business, and we had 2 children at school.

Ms sucks

Multiple sclerosis is a life changing disease. It will change the way you think and react to everything around you. What makes it worse is your close ones don’t change the way they think and react. It makes you think they don’t care. Strangers show more compassion and don’t judge you. Smh

MS does suck. Anyone on this forum knows this - if you don't suffer yourself and you don't know anyone that does, you're in the wrong place
