Multiple sclerosis: S.C.'s story
Rachel
White shared the story of a close family friend, S.C. As she shared, S.C. has
always had health problems dating all the way back to when she was born. At the
age of 22, she began to experience numbness in her hands and began to have
drastic changes in balance and coordination and grip and was diagnosed with
multiple sclerosis. She is now on medication that is managing the effects of MS
and is also learning energy conservation techniques. Despite her history of
health impairment, S.C. has not let anything slow her down. She is currently in
law school in nashville and is getting
married next year, and really enjoys riding horses. I am amazed at her drive to
not let MS slow her down, and am encouraged to know that OT's are working with
her to find ways to participate in occupations that she enjoys.
