I have been living now with M.S. for over 10 years as far as the first Symptoms were noticed. Retiring in 2002 from my 18 year Cooking Career after the Diagnoses of M.S. which was a hardship to handle. Did life ever get boring except for the Depression that I fell into then.

Depression is a very big part of my life now which I fight with everyday in one form or another. Life is hard to face at times meaning the Depression has found a weakness in my defenses. Once Depression gets hold it seems to stay forever, no matter how hard you attempt to shake it. What really happens here is I am fighting 2 Diseases at a time, which is harder to fight.

People are unaware of people with M.S. as we look Healthy most of the time, and others show signs of illness that has them baffled and speechless. I am lucky I guess since I look healthy but use a scooter or my new power chair to get around everywhere. I have even had people say there is nothing wrong or looks like nothing is wrong with me. They say I look like nothing is wrong until they are told about my M.S. then it is I am sorry and feel sad about the disease. The Pain is real, the Depression is real, and the Fear is real which do not leave.
