“Hello world! Julie here, aka @msxstrong. l was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis back in 2019, after years of grappling with different symptoms. One of the many things I’ve learned from having this disease is that you must advocate for yourself. You know yourself best and you are worth it, so never give up fighting!
We are lucky to live in a time where there are so many treatment options and life style changes, find what works best for you as we are all different. My latest treatment was an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant. So far I am recovering well and building my new immune system. My son John also keeps me motivated every day, and I fight for him.
While not everyone in the MS community likes to be called warriors, it is what we are. MS is a constant battle and to navigate through life with its constant, unpredictable challenges can only be done by someone with immense strength, courage and determination. Sending everyone reading this love, light and positivity.”
