SELF-Diagnosed with MS at 13, Trisha was told she couldn't row crew anymore, was likely going to be in a wheelchair, and was going to relegated to the sidelines of her life. She now holds several jobs in public health analysis, DID row crew through high school, was on the power weight lifting team in college, and continues to lift to this day.Trisha and Santi talk not only about the ways the medical system frequently fails young adults in diagnosis, but also in the way broader society fails them when it tells them all the things they can't do - sports they can't play, hobbies they need to abandon, activities with friends they will have to give up -- often without any real basis in fact, and with predictable mental health ramifications.
