*** Directed at Juan Williams, maybe I’ll send this to FNS

Mrs Romney is very beautiful and vibrant. Just like many CANCER SURVIVORS, Juan!

My best friend’s son has MS. When he’s not having a “breakout” or “attack” or whatever it’s called, he does all he can to workout and build himself up physically, up to 3 hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week. During those times, you would never think he has a debilitating disease. But when he has a “breakout,” his physical condition deteriorates incredibly quickly. After an extended “breakout,” I can hardly recognize him.

So Juan, try not to be too judgemental, based just on someone’s appearance. That’s SO superficial. But then I really shouldn’t expect anything else from you.

Mark

Hello, MarkL: A "Breakout" in MS is called an "Exacerbation."

It is during an exacerbation that new symptoms appear or old symptoms get worse.

A person can look lazy lying up in the bed all day for days but when the fatigue is so bad you feel like your feet are encased in concrete and you resent having to go to the bathroom because what little energy you have goes down even further just walking.

People don't see the fatigue, but, "boy howdy" it is there and it turns your life upside down.

Thanks for your compassion, MarkL.
