Hello Warriors, This is Srushti from India. I am currently in the USA. My story- I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when I was 24. I had gotten my first relapse in November 2020 when I was in my home country. And I was diagnosed in November 2023. In between these three years, my MS remained undiagnosed. I came to the USA for my masters in August 2022. And until I got my diagnosis, I was thinking of myself as someone who was crazy! Because no matter how much I tried to explain my symptoms, doctors were not able to understand my condition. Thank goodness I got my second relapse in August 2023 which was followed by another relapse in September 2023. Which led me to my diagnosis. On a positive note, I did not let my symptoms affect my academic life and I graduated with Masters in Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity with a 3.9 GPA. Why I am doing this research? As many of you must have this question like me; which is “why me?”. I read this book ‘ Opening the Door to the supernatural’ and I have heard from so many stories that the unresolved trauma or stress that was unutterable or unspoken, gets stored in our bodies and it triggers some autoimmune disorder such as multiple sclerosis. My parents are super healthy. No one has any problems such as obesity/ Diabetes/ blood pressure/ anything!!! And still I was diagnosed with this autoimmune condition. What did this question ( Why me?) have done? It got me thinking about my entire life. And then I remembered what I had never shared with anyone!! Not even my parents!! I was sexually assaulted in the school by one of my teachers. And I was so young and scared that I did not even know what I should tell my parents. I kept it to myself. I was suffering in silence. I have always been an overthinker since then! And I have not shared things just because I was scared of being judged. SA is just one example. Why I’m willing to hear your stories if you have anything similar to mine? If major people have had the same experience like me, this little research can help researchers to dig deeper into the factors that triggers multiple sclerosis and we might get some help to find the best treatment. I hope to hear from you all. Take care everyone!!❤️
