What Does MS = To You?

March 14-20 is "MS Awareness Week", and the NMSS has sponsored a "MS =" program (click here), asking folks to describe what MS means to them in 60 characters or less.

Here's my go at it.

MS = WMD

· Weapon of Mass Destruction (of course).

· Watch Me Deteriorate.

· Withering Muscles Disobey.

· Waves of Money for Druggists.

· Way too Many Doctors.

· Waylaid by My Destiny.

· Waning Memory Disappears.

· Why Me, Dammit?

· Weight of Monstrous Desperation.

· Walking, My Desire.

· Wretched, Miserable Diagnosis.

· Wishing Makes no Difference.

· Waiting for More Disability.

· Wrecking My Dreams.

· Weakening More Daily.

· Wisdom of Mindful Defiance.

· Wanting More Defenses.

· Whip My Disease!

· White Matter Demolition.

· Where is My Deliverance?

· Welcome to the Minority of the Disabled.

· Willfulness Massacres Despair

· Wellness Merits Determination

Okay, that's a start. Let's make this an interactive activity. Please contribute your own "MS =" using words with the first letters W, M, and D in the comments section, and I'll add it to the list, with an attribution to your screen name. It will be like a regular Wheelchair Kamikaze funfest, except, you know, MS isn't really all that much fun…
