Default a new way to describe what MS is to me
“MS is a fact in my life. So is my grey hair and my sense of humor and my smile and my age and... Well, you get the idea. Yes, I have to consider the fact that I have MS when I make decisions about a huge variety of things. But it is only one 'fact' about me and the world I live in. I would be selling myself short if I put it at the top of the list or allowed my friends to limit me 'for my own good'.” From a blog about MS

http://blogs.webmd.com/living-with-m...-own-good.html

I love it! MS is simply a fact in my life, so what! And the rest of the blog talks about all the well intentined people that say to you "for your own good" blah, blah, blah!

MS is simply a fact in my life! my new mantra
