Great Quote

So I found this on the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Facebook page and I absolutely love it!

Kudos to Karma Jones for the original quote and to Stephanie Cole for the graphic!!!

I have been doing quite a bit of research so I'm prepared for my doctor's appointment on the 2nd.  In with my research, I've been reaching out to others who I know have MS in an attempt to get information from them regarding their treatment, when they were first diagnosed, etc.  It strikes me as very strange when someone with MS tells me that I need to get a second opinion, after I tell them my history, or they tell me that I really don't or can't have MS.  I've had a second opinion, which just happened to coincide with the first opinion, I have the MRI results which confirm the first and second opinions, and I've had a hypothetical opinion given to me by a MS specialist.  What more do I need? 

Another thing that strikes me as very strange is that now I'm told that I can't have MS because I don't look like I have MS.  Do people with MS look different than everyone else?  Are they suppose to be marked or branded or have a scarlet letter or some other telling sign?  I guess I should be very thankful that I don't have "the look of MS" but it makes me wonder if people are discriminated against when they do have "the look".
