    cat attack

    Cats love me. I'm easy to torment. They love Grandma Oddball too but they don't torment her. They also love our children but I'm the only one they actively torment and I don't know why.

I know that some people with MS have experiences similar to mine but in my experience (with support groups and others) we are a minority. In fact for many there are excellent reasons for them to hide their condition for as long as they can. Luckily I don't have that problem.
