    Those of us with MS are often referred to as Warriors.

    What are your feelings about being known as a hero or a warrior due to having MS?

    A hero is something where one just jumps in, without even thinking about it…where we do not expect any recognition for our actions…I certainly did not jump in at the chance of getting MS…so I am no hero…as for warriors, maybe that is referring to being a survivor, well as an MS survivor, we have no choice, It is survival of the fittest in my world…I would sure take offence if someone referred to me and my MS as being a hero, as for being a warrior, how would they know if I have courage and I am strong? they only see what they see…they dont see when I am alone and crying…

    Good points Jackie!

    Warriors are strong and fight with all they have in any battle they are in.

    With each challenge they are presented, they become stronger and  more equipped to handle their next battle.

    So I like the title MS warrior, MS shows us we are stronger than we think we are.

    My feelings are, that if one has had a tough life, a tough upbringing, one can tackle anything that life throws at us…within reason of course…It also helps if one has God on our side…only He is the one who knows whether we are strong or determined enough to take on the challenge of being that ” warrior..”
