Name: JuSu Hubinger Age: 36 City: near Frankfurt, Germany Occupation: PR expert Impairment: I have Multiple Sclerosis and "disturbances of sensitivity", this means a permanent tingling in the body, also heavy limbs. Because of this I have a degree of disability of 40 percent.
JuSu Hubinger: When my husband and I laughed about something our older daughter said. She said: "Mum, do you know what one should not do?" "What is it?" "Peeing in the inhalator and than inhaling."
What have you always been wanting to do and why have you never done this so far?
JuSu Hubinger: Actually I have always been wanting to go travel from Moscow to Beijing with the Orient Express. But first I had no money for this, then there was the diagnosis MS and right after that the children. Maybe I will just make this trip later ...
Which person has influenced you most?
JuSu Hubinger: My husband. He is completely at rest in himself and also very positive by nature. I learn from him every day. Especially when it comes to coping with MS.
You have the chance to become the German Federal Commissioner for the Disabled. What would you do first?

Your life is made into a film: Who would represent you?

Which questions would you like answered the most?
JuSu Hubinger: How can Multiple Sclerosis be cured?
What I finally want to say...
