Guys with MS

I'm Just thinking about this that I posted the other day (Feb 2017)...

...so far, it's usually females I've come across, who are willing to share their MS journeys online... at this point in time, I feel like the odd-man-out (so to speak), being a guy with MS. That's quite OK, as most females I dialogue with, are quite open with their situations... most guys rarely are able to do that.

I've heard the goofy anecdote that "MS is a woman's disease", but yeah... it seems there are not as many guys who are willing or open to dialogue about their MS - or what I've stumbled across so far.

Of course, one of the biggies here in Australia is Tim Ferguson, who is a brilliant MS ambassador.

It seems to me (so far) that there are majorly-more females than males (with MS), and most are in the Northern Hemisphere! Strange!

I'm sure to stumble across more like-minded guys soon enough, who are willing to be open about their situations.

Over the last almost 5 years of my MS journey, I have managed to stumble across a lot of guys with MS (a lot more than I had actually realized!)... of course, everyone shares at a different level - and that's OK!
