This is why my husand insists I use a cane when I'm hanging onto him, "so people will know you have a problem", he says. I also keep a copy of a letter from my neuro that excused me from jury duty because of MS in the glove compartment of my car, just in case.

MS or Drunk? How about both?

wouldn't that then be called Mu-lul-ti-pulll Schklerrrr-o-shisis?:eek:

I was attending classes at a college my husband taught at. I lost my balance and ran into a wall. One of the math teachers saw me. She later asked my DH if I was drunk! It was then I understood how rumors got started.

I've left a message with the Rocky Mountain MS people about the card someone in this thread mentioned. I think that's a fantastic idea. :)

I'd still advise the Cop to take a breathalizer test,Mair..:D:p:D

saw a woman in WalMart a year or so ago with a Tshirt I'll have to order (said she got on cafe press)

It said:

No, I'm not drunk- I have M.S.!
What's Your Excuse?

The honesty & humor struck me a wonderful way to handle the "stares & whispers" we all get.
