In 2019, after a year of life changing events; pregnancy loss, family loss, and a major job change, Rachel began experiencing numb/tingly hands and feet, vision loss (diagnosed as Optic Neuritis), and extreme brain fog and fatigue. Two months later, after many tests Rachel was diagnosed at 29 years old with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS). Now a year and a half later, Rachel is taking more control of her diagnosis and overall health and well-being living with MS. Through the support of her family, friends, community, and fellow warriors she has gained new perspectives on life with MS. She has become an activist for MS and Chronic Disease Awareness, championing her own team for Walk MS for the last two years. Rachel loves connecting with others and building a network of support – connect with her on social media!
