Yikes!

So today I get up after a lovely sleep, worked all night. I have a message from my neuro's office. I call them back thinking it's about my Provigil scrip, which I am going round in circles with BCBS about...another story.

But noooo, the very nice neuro wants to know if I will do an interview with the local paper about my ride with MS and my treatment ( Tysabri)

He didn't have any more details, just said he would give my # to the editor of the paper and I would talk directly with them about the interview.

If I do this it will mean coming out to everyone I know and then some all at once. I live in a rural area and I would be all OUT. Very few people know outside of a close circle of friends.

In a way I am scared to be out. In another way, I feel as if it would be a great relief to tell everyone all at once. I may be able to help others who are " closet" PwMS. I'll be able to let people know about Tysabri and that it doesn't kill you! I may be able to let others know that it's OK to be out and increase awareness of MS in my community.

I'm going back and forth on this issue in my head and would appreciate any input and views from y'all, pro or con
