Yeah ... I think people should use whatever tagline resonates with them and is meaningful to them, but I admit some make me cringe a little.
I went to a local MS support group meeting and I felt like they were *overly* positive, like "Well if you just have a positive attitude you can fight through whatever symptoms you're having; MS can't stop you from doing whatever you want" BS. :P Mine has been relatively mild, though my two major attacks were pretty debilitating so it got off to a scary start, but that still irritates me. I tend just to not talk about it a whole lot except with closer friends. I'm a lot more likely to talk about it with friends who were with me during my attacks/diagnosis, because they "get it" a lot more.
