Why Write a Blog about MS now?

It is true, I have had MS for more then six years and only now do I share my story. I am a very private person. Only a selected few know that I have MS, and it is still not a common topic of conversation. I don't like to be pittied. I am strong. I have my faith and I don't care for anyone to label me with a disease. I will not let the disease define who I am. I feel not talking about it publicly allows me to control it. I guess I always wanted to share my story and this way is the perfect way I can share freely without feeling vulnerable.
