Dear Don, I can certainly relate to your predicament. As the old saying 
goes G-d save us from the "do-gooders" of the world. I feel I am always 
taking a risk in revealing my condition, for example I was told at the 
local MS association here there was an agency that could assess me for 
hand controls. So I checked it out and found they wanted to do a full 
assessment and give the results to the NYS motor vechilce dept. so I 
decided perhaps my leg was better than my arms and opted to pass that 
one up. I think most of us are well aware of our limitations within 
outside intervention. Also applying for jobs I found several small 
companies just come out and say they couldn't afford and hire me because 
of the higher rate for insurance they would occur just by having me on 
the grounds. Also I have no insurance now where I work because my 
employer (who knows my condition) says they can't afford a health policy 
on me so it is up to me to purchase it. And on it goes. I know the 
disability act has helped some people but sometimes it all seems to 
backfire. Don, have a blessed Holiday season. Peace/Shalom to you and to 
All, aaron
