Six Questions with Stuart Schlossman of Stu’s Views and MS News (an MS advocate, blogger, source for MS information and MS peer). |
1. How has MS changed your life?
Hmm, tough question!! Well, I want to think that it’s made me a better person. When not having a disability, we tend to see the world differently.
I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1998. After the usual few months of “why me?” I decided I was “chosen” to acquire this illness and with the use of my “big mouth,” I could help to lead others… I want to leave my mark upon the world, letting others know that there are those who fend for them.
So, in answer to the question, how has MS changed my life? It has made me a more caring and attentive person — towards most people. MS caused me to change from being obnoxious and abrasive to now being obnoxious and abrasive and a “humanitarian.”
2. What is the most important thing you’ve learned since your diagnosis?
That much good often comes from bad things… There is always an equaling offset. All the good people that I may not have met, had I not been “chosen” and all the good that I have been able to give of myself, for those needing what I provide.
3. How have you found support?
After first getting diagnosed, I began searching for peer assistance on the internet.
