Invisible Symptoms in MS - Part 2

I think that this is one of the hardest things about having MS. People will tell you that you look great, but the truth of the matter is that physically you are struggling. I get told all the time that I look better or something along the line, when I am so fatigued, hurting, my mind is a jumble, daily tasks look like an enormous mountain to climb. There are days when I almost feel as good as I look, but inevidely, the invisible symptoms sneak back. Today they came back.
