A aha moment

Curiosity

Been seeing this app pop up on a lot of other social media platforms so thought I'd give this a try. I was diagnosed with relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis when I was 16 back in 2011. Hi I'm Isaiah

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) back in 2018. Since then, I’ve been managing my condition with medications, specifically Baclofen and Pregabalin. Fortunately, I don’t need any other treatments at the moment. While the right side of my body remains weak and I walk with a cane, I am able to carry out all of my daily activities, including driving, spending time with friends, and fully enjoying life—ups and downs included.I recently started exercising, and I feel much better. I truly believe that with consistent physical activity, I can return to a more normal state, though I know I have a long road ahead of me.Thank you for your ongoing support. I’m grateful for the strength and progress I’ve made and look forward to the journey ahead.

If you could go back to a year before your multiple sclerosis diagnosis, which year would it be? I choose 1998: the year I passed my driving test 🚗 before losing sight in right eye due to optic neuritis 👁 and England were also supposed to win the World Cup. Go! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇧🇷🇩🇪🇦🇷🇮🇹🇦🇷...
