Staying Forever Strong with Rachael Tomlinson

Today on Staying Strong Forever Strong I spoke with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis warrior and I loved hearing her honesty.

What do you suffer from?

Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

When were you diagnosed?

2018

What was it like when you were diagnosed?

A relief as what I had been experiencing finally had a name and I wasn’t being dismissed

Did you know a lot about your condition?

Not a lot no

What was your support system like? What is it like now?

I have been fortunate to have a good support system of family and friends

What is the hardest part about dealing with (issue)?

Accepting that my deterioration is permanent

What is a piece of advice you have for anyone who is just being diagnosed?

No two people with MS have it the same, you will go through a rollercoaster of emotions, don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

What is a piece of advice you have for someone who doesn’t understand or believe?

Not all disabilties and illness is visable

What helps to keep you Forever Strong?

That’s a tough one because I am not sure I always am.
