I am a 49 year old male from Pennsylvania. I am disabled with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis(PPMS -Primary Progressive MS). PPMS begins with problems walking, which gradually gets worse. PPMS is a very aggressive form of Multiple Sclerosis. I have been to many MS gatherings and I've learned much from others.

I've heard some ask: "Why GOD, why me?".

I don't ask such rhetorical questions for which there is no real true answer.

I don't care to be around others who are bitter, angry and feel sorry for themselves.

Currently I am in a wheelchair. I can still walk but, not very far nor very fast. I have bad tremors in both hands and I can't really eat in public at any restaurant, as my food goes flying. It would actually be pretty funny if it weren't so pathethic.

I used to be nice to look at. Now, thanks to MS, I'm just fun to watch.

Now that I am in a wheelchair, I no longer have the time to wallow around in self-pity and feel sorry for myself. I don't let anything stop me from doing what I enjoy. It may now take me longer than it did a few years ago but, I am in no rush. After all Rome wasn't built in a day. I currently live by 3 words: Can, Shall, Will. If I set my mind on something,

I can do it,
I shall do it and
I WILL DO it.

Because that's what I believe, I can tell you this. I do not have the time, patience nor the inclination to deal with excuses I may have due to my disability. This I know.
