In this video I share the symptoms I had, the story of my diagnosis, how I took the news and where I am now 16 years later.
This video was easy to film because I know my story better than anyone but it was tough to relive. I forgot what I went through and it brought a lot of emotions to the surface, but I'm glad for it. I was incredible to think how far gone I was and how I brought myself back and went further than I ever imagined.
I have an amazing life and I worked hard for it. A good mindset is the key, and also books help a lot too. A book I'd like to recommend which I wish I did in the video to be honest since I'm not sure how many people read the descriptions but a book a highly recommend is Atomic habits by James Clear. It feels cliché to say it changed my life but it really did and I'm so grateful that I found it.
For people with MS or any other life changing condition, life is what you make of it and if you let it beat you down, it will. So play the hand you've been dealt with a smile on your face and think of ways to enjoy life.
Something I found out today is that it's MS Awareness week and I'd already filmed with the plan to upload today. The universe works in mysterious ways
