There's another side of MS Awareness (which I'm FOR, by the way)
While I was working, I had reasons for not advertising all of my symptoms. I thought once I retired, it wouldn't be an issue, but it's not that simple. I don't want my family to hear "cognitive dysfunction" and think, "Should she be driving? Is she remembering to pay her bills? Is what she's saying true, or is she confused?" And I have some symptoms, mostly occasional, that I don't want to talk about at ALL, much less have people thinking about every time they look at me. Just a couple of examples of how "awareness" is a two-edged sword sometimes.
