In this episode of the MS Boost podcast series, we are joined by Fatima, a person living with multiple sclerosis (MS), who shares her personal journey to diagnosis.
Like many other people living with MS, Fatima was constantly misdiagnosed while experiencing a myriad of symptoms. Fatima's story delves into the importance of persistence in seeking medical help, the emotional impact of receiving a diagnosis, and the gradual process of acceptance and adjustment as a person living with a new diagnosis.
Fatima talks about how she built her village of support people, including the integration of physical and mental health supports to help her continue to live well with MS.
Fatima talks about her fears and anxiety around her diagnosis, and how she continued to do all the things she wanted to in her life, having children, travelling and running her own business.
Fatima's resilience and determination shine through as she navigates life with MS, and it’s inspiring to hear her journey and advice for other people who may have just been newly diagnosed.
