Living with Multiple Sclerosis: My Experience at 24

So yeah I’m 24 but was diagnosed with this ms thing and it’s just now becoming a pain but I’m making things look easy cause I still have a job and am also moving around just not the same as before but it’s still alright I believe because I can still walk, pick up some things that may be a little heavy and etc. I still eat normal foods and stuff so nothing has taken me away from that 🤷‍♂️wbu

I was diagnosed at 26 with MS myself. I kept working as long as I could. I lost my job in my chosen career field in 2016. I tried to get on Social Security disability. I was turned down and on the appeal. I tried to continue to work. I haven't been able to find anything and am just at this point trying for the Social Security disability.

I was diagnosed last year on my 24th birthday

I was also diagnosed with this annoying thing at 24 this May. I look pretty messed up when I get around but I am still walking with some AD's. I have to get a different job though. I also switched to AIP paleo. You may want to get a jump on that so you hopefully don't progress to quickly 🤷🏽‍♀️ not a requirement obviously! To each their own and always do what's best for you! 💕
