No one famous. Two women from my home town (population 80) both had it. Both were in wheelchairs by the time I was diagnosed, so I wasn't confident. One is now in a nursing home, and the other is as they say no longer with us.
And my old Maths teacher. She was diagnosed a bit before me, and had the benefit of the old interferons. Didn't work so well.
I read a very old (like early 1900s) second-hand medical textbook while I was waiting to be diagnosed. No google in those days. Strangely enough, the progression of MS described in that old book has been uncannily similar to my experience, just delayed a bit thanks to the drugs.
