MS Mondays- Symptoms of MS via VIDEOS!

Happy Monday!! I hope you have something really fun scheduled for today to make it a little less painful to come back from the weekend. I taught skiing both days this weekend, so it went by pretty quickly (and at least I got to spend it outside!). I hope yours was a little bit more relaxing, but that you got just as much fresh air as I did!

I wanted to share with you a few videos that I came across on youtube of others who actually describe their early MS symptoms. These videos are so powerful and I am in awe of those who are so open to sharing their story. I truly believe that the more AWARENESS that we can bring to the disease--> the better! So, enjoy : ) THere's also a bunch more on the right-hand side que, incase you've got time to spare. 

Paul's Story. He has a few more on his page that are fantastic and open. 

Izzy's Story. Gosh this one was definitely emotional. She was a runner and describes herself as the 'fittest' that she's ever been before starting to getting some pretty drastic MS symptoms..

Rhian's description is super honest and straightforward. She started having symptoms in her late teens and early 20's. So young!

Jack's story. I love how he speaks about how scary his diagnosis of MS was and also what a shock it was. 

How was your weekend?

This videos are so inspiring to me to run and fundraise LIKE CRAZY! I definitely think I will be watching these as I get ready to head out for my runs during my MS Run The US relay run.

I'm totally loving youtube right now- what videos could you watch over and over again? --> So You Think You Can Dance videos!
