Boomeranging back into blogging

  I've had a lot of thoughts lately about opening up my blog to something a little bit different than my mission. Shortly after I arrived home from my mission I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Since that diagnosis I have been in different treatments and I have had many experiences and I've noticed there isn't much of an online community or conversation around MS, so I would like to change that. My posts will most likely be sporadic, but I knew I needed to start somewhere. 

Below is a video of a ted talk I prepared for one of my university courses last year. I know it’s a little cheesy and isn’t executed or prepared perfectly, but I really want to get a large chunk of my story out there in preparation for more posts concerning the autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis. MS is a rare autoimmune disease that affects around 2.3 million people worldwide according to the national multiple sclerosis society. According to the same source, MS is more than twice as common in females and symptoms usually begin between the ages of 20 and 40. I was first diagnosed with MS in 2017 when I was 21, but I had been experiencing symptoms for years prior to that time. 

I’m just a Canadian university student living in America trying to start a conversation about a rare and unknown condition, thanks for following a long with me! :)
