Today I "outed" myself about having M.S. to a mom at my daughter's school. I figured it was time. Her response surprised me, "Really? Does anyone else in your family have M.S.?" I was totally stunned to be asked such a question by a lay-person. Even other people with M.S. never ask me that! "Yes", I replied, "my mother!" (and I was too stupefied to even continue that I also had 3 cousins with this, too). I found out that her husband is a SSDI lawyer, so perhaps she knows about M.S. clusters in a way that most people do not. I wish more people were that educated about M.S. I found the experience to be quite validating.
