I was diagnosed with MS at 32 after months of unexplained numbness and vision problems. The diagnosis was frightening, but connecting with others online and finding a neurologist who listened made all the difference. I manage my symptoms with medication, physical therapy, and mindfulness. There are tough days, but I have learned to adapt and advocate for myself.
