Even the most curious understand little about the disease and may people think MS stands for 'Mostly Stupid'. You can't really get mad at people for what they do not know because MS is so unknown and unpredictable. As a final point let me end with a couple of statements that I hope you can now understand a little better. These are some of the reasons I call MS a messy disease. Many MS symptoms are invisible, deep inside the brain .
Visible symptoms are often misleading .
Exacerbations happen totally at random . The course of MS is never known . MS is not considered deadly but for some people it is worse . An MSer goes up and down like a yo-yo . MS effects are as difficult, or more so, for the people around the MSer as they are for the patient .
