1. How has MS changed your life?
MS has changed my life in many ways. Most importantly it has taught me to reprioritize and realize I have strengths I might never have used before. I now let certain limitations open up doors I once never dreamed.
2. What is the most important thing you’ve learned since your diagnosis?
To be positive every day, and never let a bad moment carry to the next day.
3. How have you found support?
My family. Not everyone is as lucky as me. That is why I believe the MSF is such a great group. Being open is a great way to find support. If you have a question, just ask.
4. What is the best coping tip you’ve picked up?
Laughter. Don’t take things so seriously. Nothing in life is worth not laughing about. If you can’t laugh, smile. We teach children how important smiling is, but somewhere along the line we forget to teach ourselves the same thing.
5. What is your favorite MS- or health-related website?
Msfocus.org and espn.com.
6. This is the bonus question! What question would you like to ask our readers?
Do you hide that you have MS from anyone and why?
Your answer?
No! If I am afraid of being fired because I have MS, then I don’t want that job anyway. People need to be smart about making sure they are employed, but don’t lead a separate life just to feel more stable. The stability is nothing without honesty.
Jude is definitely open about his MS, as you can see in his MSF Ambassador video. It's an interesting question for our readers: Have you hidden your MS? How do you feel about it?
P.S. to people who came over from other sites: You can still join the discussion! Our blog supports openID (meaning if you have a blog on another site, you can probably use that to sign in as an openID commenter) or you can comment anonymously.
