MS Patient
Fairfax, VA
I am glad that the chronic illness issue is brought out to the public and that Multiple Sclerosis is finally considered under this chapter. Most of the foundations dealing with chronic illness think of heart conditions, diabetes, asthma but never include MS in them. As an MS patient you have not only to deal with your very capricious disease but with the ignorance of those that surround you in your work place, and can't understand why you can't walk today if yesterday you were doing fine, or a boss that tells you "I'm tired of you seeing you sick," even though you are doing your job and only using a cane to be able to move around. I hope that more programs about chronic conditions come out so that people can learn that we, as patients, are trying to get a normal life and we only need a little bit of help to do so.
