Mollie is an MS warrior from Georgia that began her journey when she was 15 years old and a freshman in high school. Mollie explains how she had a two week period where her right arm went numb for a short time and what Mollie called "spells" where she had stroke-like symptoms. Mollie had attacks multiple times the next few days even during her cheer tryouts when she lost strength and dropped one of her teammates. Mollie's parents were able to see one of Mollie's attacks and immediately took her to the ER where they ran a CT scan. Mollie tells me how she continued to have attacks and her parents took her to a different hospital that was equipped with an MRI. Mollie's parents were very concerned because there was a family history of brain tumors. An MRI was ordered and Mollie was told she had MS at the age of 15. Mollie and I have an amazing conversation about how she handled being told she had MS at such a young age and how she had to grow up over night with her new life of having a chronic condition. Mollie and I have so many incredible conversations during this episode. We talk about how she learned to advocate for herself at a young age and we also talk about the importance of our mental health. Mollie talks about relationships with having MS and multiple other diagnoses and how she found an incredible man that doesn't care about any of her issues and how he loves her for who she is. Mollie is just an amazing young warrior that wants to spread awareness about what it's like living with chronic disease. Follow Mollie on TikTok @molliefletch101.
