Do you ever feel like…
you are trying way too hard to seem normal? I’m really tired today of acting. I’m almost ready to blow my cover but still afraid of being real about my MS at work.

I understand. In my group of close family only my mom knows that I am ‘faking’ how I am 99.9% of the time. Others notice only when I go quiet. The way I hide how ms is affecting me is joking around. I distract others so they won’t see that I’m not normal. How do you hide it?
It's ok, I've been at my job twenty yrs and just "came out" lol that I have MS since my car accident one year ago. They now understand why I gave up coaching after 42yrs and can barely walk every day. I hid behind my Diabetes for the past five yrs when my MS really started acting up and after being dx since 2005.
