   <p>I didn't "answer" some of the questions because the choices of answers didn't fit my circumstances. Isn't the fact I'm not depressed or having mental difficulties a good thing?</p>

      <p><inline-mention username="CommunityMember5" user-id="4603641"/> Thanks for bringing this up! The questions and answers on this quiz were taken from responses that we received earlier in the year from our 2024 In America survey. We can certainly make another quiz down the line, asking our community members what THEIR answers would be. If you're curious about what our In America survey is, you can read more about it here: <a href='https://multiplesclerosis.net/living-with-ms/ms-in-america-whats-that' target='_blank'>https://multiplesclerosis.net/living-with-ms/ms-in-america-whats-that</a>. Hope that helps. 🧡 Kayleigh, Team Member </p>

   <p>Hi I'm sorry if this is not aloud but I was told that I might get some help with the MRI I had done to see what it may mean I would really appreciate it. Please <img src="/content/images/2024/12/12/f138d6d062f717cf3a7bd1fd7bb28351_medium.jpg" alt="" class="uploaded-image"/></p>

      <p><inline-mention username="CommunityMember3bdbfa" user-id="9920581"/> yeah it's hard to read the report in the image, but I'm glad that you reached out because we all can certainly relate here to the challenges of waiting for the results of tests, especially MRIs. Was this MRI intended to provide a diagnosis of MS or have you already been diagnosed and getting a progress update? Either way, we're glad that you're here!<br/>Best<br/>Alene (team member) </p>

   <p>I have noticed in the general community an ignorance of anyone with a handicap. For instance, have you ever noticed the handicapped parking places are NOT closest to the front door? But are most often off to the far side (like at a 7-11 or even a doctor's office? Everyday I come across individuals who park in the handicapped parking place who rationalize ("it' okay because I'm only going to be a minute." That is exactly when I drive up and there are no "handicapped" places available. People with NO handicap are insensitive to those (like myself) who struggle to get around. At first when this happened (when I was new to needing a "handicap stall") I called the police twice on unauthorized person's parking in the handicap Zone. The police came out and issued a violation. Now, police are either unsympathetic or too busy. So there is NO punishment for violation. </p>

      <p><inline-mention username="carolynprody" user-id="3960882"/>, oh, boy. You and I could have some great chats! I have to admit that I am fully able bodied at this time, but I have learned a lot about accessibility after being a part of this community for years.<br/><br/>And, my "duh" moment (courtesy of accessibility advocates) was this -- why in the world are we designing the world for the most able bodied people? It literally makes no sense. I mean, I know it's cheaper (at first) to create a world that caters to the most able bodied, but realistically, every person will have a point in their life where they aren't fully able bodied. Whether due to age, illness, injury, or heck, even something like pregnancy, our bodies will not always be capable of all the things they are capable of when we are, say, healthy 16-year-olds.<br/><br/>So. Why are we so behind the times? Don't we realize that the world would actually be a much better place if things were more accessible (and I mean TRULY accessible) for all? <br/><br/>And you're right; the slap on the wrist (if that) that people get for breaking federal and state laws regarding things like handicapped parking doesn't help the situation at all.<br/><br/>Best, Erin, Team Member.<br/></p>
