Like Eric, my disabilities have been mostly hidden, although occasionally I have the meander walk. This makes for loneliness. I'm walking without a walker since I took p32 for my "other" disease, Polycythemia Vera, which was making my feet hurt. So I usually look normal now, but I know my feet are numb and I have more challenges to walk than most people, but usually they can't see it because I have so many coping ways. So I feel different and alone.

I would open my mouth and ask . . . too often we never get a second chance to make a new friend in a situation like that. Not every encounter in life is easy, welcome, or even successful. If she is taken aback by your question you can always say "Excuse me . . . I am sorry. I guess my Multiple Sclerosis radar is malfunctioning today." But you could also be opening a door to a friendship with someone who may otherwise continue to wobble down the road feeling very alone and unapproachable . . .
