Dear ignorant person,
So what i like to wear skirts and spaghetti straps! I HAVE MS I HAVE TO STAY COOL
and guess what i DON'T DRINK! So when you see me stagger in the restaurant on friday night don't automatically assume and judge me for thinking i'm intoxicated!
Yes i bring my dog to public places. He helps me not to fall on my ass and have rude people like you laugh at me
Yes it IS possible for someone as young as me to have MS...my belief is that everyone gets it around this age i just think docs are better at diagnosing it than 5 years ago...
And dammit why do you have to know all my information. i will from now on carry a folder with all my MRI "headshots" and all my lab results from my doc just for you to see
and YES they did retire me from the air force
yes i only served 2 yrs and a lot of people say i don't deserve it...well let's see
did i have MS before i joined the military? NO
did i get it during the military? YES
was i going to stay in the military if i didn't have MS? YES
And no i do not get beaten by my boyfriend i just bruise very very easily because i'm on blood thinners for blood clots!
So believe whatever u want i have better things to do and i have better conversations with my dog...who by the way is probably smarter than you
Thank you!
sincerely, Joanna Rose

Personally, for a young gal with MS, being considered a hussy is a compliment.

When you get older you appreciation for the ironic will increase. It makes life easier. "
