I have an older brother, Mark. About 20 years ago he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Before that I had never heard of MS. It is really one of those things that changed his life. I had always known my brother as a person that did he own thing and was always successful in anything he had tried. He went from walking and sometimes stumbling to walking with a cane to walking with crutches (sometimes) to walking with crutches all the time to using a wheel chair (sometimes) to using a wheel chair all the time to using a motorized wheel chair. He tries to fight what is going on with his body and you can start seeing changes with his mind. It is frustrating that I can't help with anything.

I can help him with living problems of making sure he has phone and visiting him when I can or getting him a tv or "things". I can't help him get his body to work. I can't help him find a way to live on his own. I can't help him with the things he really wants, mobility and independence. When you meet my brother you really realize what is important in life. Many people will tell you that the most important thing is health, and now I believe them. My brother has this disease and no one knows what he has it. You often hear of the people that are really physical fit and die unexpectedly.
I just always wonder why it happens to the people it does. I have a feeling it happens to people that are strong enough to handle the disability. I hope that is the reasoning, anyway!
