I read an article that discussed static vs dynamic disability. It wasn't an MS specific article, but seemed so relevant to those of us who do have some level of disability.
For some of us, day to day, our disability may not vary much - it is fairly static. For others, day to day, we are not sure how invisible disabilities may manifest - dynamic in nature. And of course, there are those that have a certain level day to day, but on top of it, may be affected by variability - jackpot of bot static and dynamic.
I found it interesting that the author talked about having to conserve energy to be able to do things, and in turn, people not understanding why some days, she can do things and others, not.
I guess I never really thought how other chronic illnesses can result in similar types of issues.
