Thank you Betty for your warm welcome. I am 31 years old and have been 
diagnosed w/ MS for the bast 9-10 years. that is a long story. Went 
through a period when I was a student of being sent to doctor to doctor 
to diagnose my "hysterical blindness" and then finally a neurologist 
took pity on me, did a real through in-hospital exam, and made the 
diagnosis that literally saved my sanity. For me that it the hardest 
part of this disease..others not understanding becasue you "look healthy". 
Also some people hear the word "virus" and think yes must be related 
to AIDS!! I understand what you mean looking around at others and I 
realize that many people have it worse but that does not give my any 
relief--maybe guilt perhaps. Thanks for answering and let me know a 
little about you. I really am shy and this is taking a major effort 
so I really thank you!! Shalom (Peace) Aaron
