Hi everyone, I’m Frank. I’m 60, have lived with MS for more than 25 years, and spent decades working in corporate leadership roles while navigating the realities that many of you know all too well: fatigue, disclosure decisions, career pressure, accommodations, MRIs, treatments, anxiety about the future… and trying to keep life moving forward anyway. A big reason I joined ShiftMS is because I know how isolating MS can feel especially for people trying to balance careers, family, identity, and health all at the same time. Over the last year I started a supportive resource/blog called BalancingMSLife.com focused on practical and honest conversations around:
• workplace disclosure and accommodations
• career impact and navigating corporate life with MS
• DEI and disability inclusion
• toolkits, technology, and adaptive strategies
• treatment experiences
• invisible symptoms
• digestive issues like SIBO and the “other stuff” people don’t always talk about
• and most importantly how to build a meaningful life without letting MS define all of it It’s not commercial, there’s no paywall, and I’m not here to “sell” anything. I just know how much it helped me over the years when someone a little further down the road said: “You’re going to be okay. Your life is not over.” That’s the spirit I’m hoping to bring here too. Looking forward to learning from everyone and hopefully helping where I can.
