Invisible

It's a common conundrum among MSers - the struggle to explain to the outside world why you are feeling horrendous when "you look so well."

The hidden nature of a lot of MS symptoms - the cognitive swamp, the peculiar pains, the altered sensations, the bone-crushing fatigue - are just not that easy to get across.

We are sometime our own worst enemy - desperate to do stuff when we're able, desperate to hide our symptoms at work, desperate to protect our children from the worst.

But sometimes we need to explain the many hidden ways MS can kick us and although words are useful, they don't always get the point across as effectively as pictures

Shift.ms, a social network for MSers, has produced a really useful short film which aims to represent some hidden symptoms. Have a look.
