At the end of 2012, my life took a turn I never saw coming. It was a regular morning at work — until my left arm suddenly went numb. No pain, no warning, just gone.

It was just before Christmas, and I didn’t want to call in sick. But fear won out. I had recently witnessed a stroke in my family — live, helpless, and shaken. So I went to the doctor.

He took me seriously and referred me to a neurologist. What followed were over three months of tests, uncertainty, and doubt.

My employer accused me of faking it. _“If you can’t see anything, there’s nothing wrong,”_ they said. I quit. I didn’t want to fight for understanding while I was still trying to understand myself.

After nerve conduction tests, vision and color exams, and a spinal tap, the diagnosis finally came: Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

I smiled at the doctor and said: “Finally, something I can work with.”

But the relief didn’t last. A breakdown followed soon after — a deep depression that built invisible walls around me. I ended friendships, shut myself off, and lived behind a silent barrier of fear and pain.

It took three years and a failed marriage before my current partner helped me break free. With patience, love, and an open heart, she showed me I wasn’t alone — and that I was allowed to live again.

Today, more than 10 years after my diagnosis, I’ve just completed my second round of relapse therapy. It was my second relapse, and it nearly took away my ability to walk.

On top of that, I live with diabetes and restless legs — not exactly a light load. But I can walk again. And that’s more than I dared to hope for in recent months.

MS has taken a lot from me, but it’s also given me new perspective. I’ve learned to listen to my body, accept my limits, and use my voice — for myself and for others.

This story isn’t an ending. It’s a beginning. And I’m sharing it because I know: every person with MS has their own story. And every story deserves to be heard.
