About me

Location	United States
Introduction	I am a physician living with RRMS (relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis)and trying to continue practicing. I became a physician because of my experience as a teenager with fulminant-onset MS, but later hid my diagnosis for many years due to fear of discrimination. Now I'm very glad I did, because I'm quite sure I would never have gotten where I am today. I'm officially "out of the closet" with my MS (because it's kind of hard to hide the wheels) and trying to navigate my new life as a patient and a doctor in a wheelchair.
