" But for people within the -- coping with the disease means more than just dealing with symptoms."

" I think it's really important that people who are diagnosed without masks that they do reach out. Two family friends personally speaking that was hard at first because I'm very independent doing yourself kind of person. I didn't like the idea of having to ask for help. But what I've learned is. That MS doesn't affect just me -- actually does effect of people around me and the more I can bring them in and actually allow them to help. The better off we all are because then they don't feel so helpless and they don't feel."
