I was called for jury duty before I got the offical dx of MS...I told my neuro to give me an excuse but he said that having MS wouldn't disqualify me so he wouldnt (my FORMER neuro, that is).
So I showed up and told the receptionist I don't think I can serve on a jury due to my sxs...she said there is no exclusion for neuro sxs.

Fine...so I sat for several hours, then got called into a court room where they began asking potential jurors questions. I fell asleep of course...a bailiff came over and woke me up and asked if I was all right. I told him that I suffered from severe fatigue from a neurological condition and was having difficulty staying awake. He went and told someone and took me back to the waiting area...where I was told to go home...

If they would have LISTENED to me...
