Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis: Moyna's Story


ree

A Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis can hit someone very unexpectedly. Many experience a range of symptoms they aren't expecting to result in an MS diagnosis. This was the case with MS Warrior Moyna James, who isn't even a year into her MS journey.



Despite entering the year with this new information, she has taken on a positive attitude and is intent on encouraging others. When Moyna noticed there weren't many people who looked like her -- Black and Brown individuals with MS -- featured online or in informational materials, she decided to create a space for positivity, experience and encouragement on Instagram.

Listen in to our conversation with Moyna about her diagnosis, dealing with COVID while living in New York City during it, and how she copes day-to-day. We are so inspired by how she has taken action to manage her disease and offer encouragement to those in the same battle.



We are so thankful to voices like Moyna's bringing awareness and positivity to a space where millions of people are effected each day. If you have a story, we'd love to hear about it in the comments!

At MS Insight, we are a community of patient advocates fighting for access to information, education and new research. We want to connect you with the very best resources and experts as you navigate your MS journey. Don't hesitate to reach out and let us know what you need and how we can serve you!

I was living with MS for years before being officially diagnosed in 2021.  I got annual MRIs, and I did not take any meds due to side effects.  I had one flare up in 2021.  My legs decided to a break and I was numb from the waist down. I decided to try MS-4.  The numbness and Muscle spasms went away after a couple of weeks, but it took almost 3 months to walk properly without a cane.  In June, it will be four years without incident, and I am extremely happy that I made the decision to not take any meds and went for the MS-4 formula even though my neurologist got upset and one told me to quit…

I was diagnosed with MS (Multiple Sclerosis) four years ago, and despite taking various medications, my condition kept worsening. Last year, out of desperation, I tried a herbal treatment from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. I was skeptical, but within months, I noticed real improvements more strength, less fatigue, better mobility. I feel more like myself again.If you or someone you love is dealing with MS, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach.

My husband was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and had a stroke a few years after his diagnosis. His conditions left him with problems with swallowing and burning mouth syndrome, blurred vision BUT his gait improved after starting the www. Madibaherbalcenter. com formulas which they prescribe, he started swinging his stiff arm again and could write legibly after the usage of their products. The chief of neurology at the www. Madibaherbalcenter. com always said his condition would reverse back to normal. I did not believe it until last month here after his new result.
