When I was working, my MS was my secret except with close friends and family. After I stopped working, I kind of kept it to myself as I met new people. I didn't want to be judged until they got to know me. Now the fact that I have MS just comes out in every day conversation. Besides my daughter tells all her friends and isn't quiet about it. I took my cue from her and now I am very comfortable telling people. It has made my life a lot easier in so many ways.
