  • Is your MS Invisible or is it obvious?

    Sometimes it is not obvious that people have MS,  They appear no different than anyone else . Others, use assistance devices and have trouble walking.  And is it is clear  that there is an issue .  What is the case for you? Do you have invisible MS or  is your disability  apparent?

    Apparent when sitting down, visible when standing and, or walking.

    Debi I should have added my footwork, balance and hands touching everything at the sides of me for balance and security as I walk amongst tables for steadiness gives it away.

    At my new weekly bingo sessions they take away our walkers and put them somewhere safe and out of the way of the isles where other elderly members may have trouble passing as the tables and gangways are rather close.
