I became more open about my MS after I stopped working and became more comfortable talking about it (since I didn't need to hide it anymore). People who know I have MS will now approach me and say my friend or family member was just dx'd and start talking about it to me. I tell them if they think their friend or family member may want someone to talk to, because I remember how I felt and how scared I was when I was dx'd, give them my name and number. I have had people call me to talk and I hope that I was able to help them whether it was just to listen and understand or give them information about where to go for answers.

We ARE everywhere!
