Welcome to Living Well with MS podcast, where we are joined by Vickie Hadge, who serves as an Overcoming MS Ambassador in Connecticut. She was officially diagnosed with MS in 2017 but had her first discernible symptoms in 2011. She lives well with her MS by following the Overcoming MS program and encourages others to do the same through her Overcoming MS Circle.
