The symptoms a person gets who has MS are different in every case. Some people have a lot more severe symptoms that others. Some people can go their whole lives with out ever having another exasperation after their initial attack. Others are continually having sever problems and reach the latter stages of the disease quickly. It is almost like a person with MS a ticking tome bomb and that an attack can happen at any time. It can be pretty scary if you dwell on it especially seeing other people with the disease and how quickly they have exasperation after exasperation. Because MS is an invisible disease living with it can be a challenge. I have a family member who was diagnosed with the disease not to long after my own diagnosis. He has had a much tougher road than I have had as he had to spend time in a wheel chair as well as having vision problems. He has also had bouts with depression as a result of his problems with MS. it is upsetting because I have to constantly speak up to people, even family members, who are putting him down because they just do not understand the problems associated with the disease. Please remember just because the person does not look sick does not mean they are not sick. Many of the symptoms, such as fatigue, are not visible to the naked eye.

There are many famous people who have the disease. Actor David "Squiggy" Landers, Actress Terri Garr, Singer Lena Horne and talk show host Montel Williams to name a few.

The good news for people with MS is that medical science is making progress and there are many new drugs to help people who have MS. Hopefully one day soon, scientists will find the cause which will then lead them finding a cure.
