Idealist,

At this point in my life I have a need to help others which also helps me to take my mind off of whatever problems I might be having. I have had MS a long time and in most cases remain calm when having difficulties realizing that most likely it will improve.

It's not an issue of feeling like I should not ask for support - I have just come to terms with my MS and want to help others.

That was/is my main purpose for joining a message board.

I do feel if you need support or help then ask, no matter how long you have had whatever problems you may have. Being a senior to a problem does not make you immune to emotions or struggles.

If this disease ever decides to start kicking my butt beyond what I have experienced then I will be looking for support. And hopefully I will recieve the support when or if I need it.
