this guy I know

I have known this guy since I was 19 and I am now 38.  He is a friend of my fathers.  HE HAS MS.  He was diagnosed at 18 and in now 60 something.  He has had ms for 50 years.  He stoped going to the doctor years ago and had ms before there were any medications.  He has never changed and walks with a cane just like I do.  The most that I have learned from him is that just because you have ms, you are still the same person you always have been.  It does not change your personality.
