Episode 65 Interview with Antwuan (MS WARRIOR)
Antwuan is a US Air Force vet and an MS warrior that started his journey in 2015 when he experienced double vision and it went away after a few months. In 2017 Antwuan had an MRI completed that showed white matter but doctors didn't want to give him the diagnosis of MS. After two years of testing and a trip to the ER Antwuan was told by a nurse that he had MS in 2019. We talk about how the diagnosis made Antwaun feel being he had no knowledge about the disease at 40 years old. Antwuan talks about how the diagnosis made him feel shocked that this was happening to him. He wanted something that could be fixed but learned there was no cure for MS. Antwuan did everything he possibly could to learn about the disease so he knew how to attack his path. Antwaun and I have an awesome conversation about being employed and how companies terminate you even though you are trying to do the right thing and just get better with our disease. We talk about how companies just look at us as a liability and because our disease is invisible and they judge us. We also talk about how society doesn't understand how difficult it is to get up every day and function. Antwuan talks about how we need to have motivation and an attitude to fight this disease and how he uses his God, family and awareness as his motivational tools. Antwuan talks about how his wife and kids and the rest of his family are completely supportive of him during his journey. Antwuan talk about his DMT journey and how he may change DMT's just because. Antwaun discusses lifestyle changes he made and how he has seen positive results so far. We also talk about how we learned to use our mobility aids and how we struggled using them because of our pride. Antwuan and I talk about how our mental health are affected and how we had to figure things out. Antwuan is incredible with how he wants to spread awareness about this disease especially being so young in his journey. I love Antwaun's message that you are not alone with MS or any chronic disease. There is a community out there that understands what you're going through! Thank you Antwuan for sharing your journey with me! Keep fighting the fight! FUMS!
