I was 16 when I got rushed to John Hopkins last year and I have MS too and my doctor told me I was suppose to be dead because I also have legions all over my brain and spine.And I want to be a cancer doctor when I grow up, and I didn’t think I could go back to school. Watching this made me so happy. God bless you💙 I found out a couple months ago tho I’ve had it for almost 4 years now but the symptom just came last year. So thank you for making this video


Brought tears to my eyes because my doctor said as young as I am I’m was suppose to be dead, he said that because he said my
ms is the rarest he has ever seen in his life. This video made me happy. I just turned 17

I am trying to learn how to tell my story I have been dx since 2000. I was 20 yrs old. I’m 41 almost 42. An exacerbation put me in a bed for 3 1/2 years and I couldn’t do anything for my neck down the doctor said there was no hope that was in 2005 here we are in 2021 going into 22 and I’m a complete success story I am walking I’m moving I’m living a normal life. I want to share my story the movie other people.

MS I a terrible disease. It affects everyone around it. It's hard to imagine the sheer selfishness of this woman to continue having children after her diagnosis, knowing that they will be forced to become her caregivers and that she will be passing on the gene. I say this as someone who also has MS.
