Interacting with other MS patients

I have been to a few events. I think I am somewhere in between the two. I can feel very motivated when seeing how well others are coping, even with disabilities. But at the same time I can also become discouraged sometimes from seeing how difficult life can be with MS. So I think it really depends how I am managing myself in the particular moment and the mood I am in. I can't help but feeling like a terrible person sometimes, when I am having a day where I can't look at other MS patients without feeling reminded where this disease is taking me. Is it normal to feel this way? 

I do find it difficult to see the full range of problems that can happen. I remember the first time I met someone whose speech was badly affected. It really brought me to earth with a bang. On the plus side though He has good weeks when nobody would see a problem. 

I can certainly see both the pros and cons of interacting with others who have MS, especially as everyone is so different.  Like most people with MS, mine is forever changing - frequently hour by hour and is totally unpredictable.  Although I have not yet physically met any other person with MS, have today become a member of a Neurotherapy Centre in my area, have submitted all of the "paperwork" from my GP and will be having my first "encounter", apart from my initial visit to the centre a few weeks ago, next Wed, which will involve a formal assessment (approximately 45 minutes) with 1 of the Physiotherapists to "plan" a potential program, hopefully using a variety of services i.e. various exercises, equipment etc.  I'm really trying to keep an open mind re: how I may feel about actually meeting/getting to know other people with their particular experiences/problems etc. with their MS and can only hope this will be a positive rather than negative experience - either way, I really feel I need to be as proactive as possible in order to most positively manage my MS and hopefully gain more control/understanding of it.
