I had problems with MS as graduate student
If you look at my previous postings you will see that I have mentioned previously my problems with MS and graduate school at Humboldt State. I was quite shocked at how little people want to help. And you should remember one thing: school success is a competitive thing and "dumb" people are equal to MS symptoms people and some teachers don't think they are there to rehabilitate dumb people. Hard to explain but that is how i saw it. And of course most MS symptoms are "hidden" and so people are sceptical about what is happening inside you that they can't detect through normal means. I found communication was the big problem and also related to mobility. Because I couldn't get myself to the places I needed to go to and contact people in person. Telephone calls just aren't effective sometimes. The problem with a disability such as MS is that unless you are in a wheelchair people just don't get it.
Even while on crutches I found that the urgent needs and goings of others made them frustrated to just get around or over me and not actually help. This was great therapy for me because I used to always be the smartest one as I have a high I.Q. and won lots of big scholarhsips when younger. It is interesting to be 64 and then start to be considered a dummy. It gives me the whole 360 degree social view of intelligence in the eye of the beholder
