Hey everyone, welcome to MS Michigan Man 64.

I’m Brian Wallace, and this is where we get real

about living with multiple sclerosis - no medical

jargon you can’t understand, just honest

conversations between people who get it.

Today I’m talking with Mely Macabre, a

36-year-old artist and writer I connected with on

TikTok. What drew me to Mely is that she’s an

open book, just like me. She doesn’t hold back

about the hard stuff that comes with MS.

We’re diving into her diagnosis journey, the

medical gaslighting so many of us face, and how

MS affects every part of your life - your

relationships, your social connections, and yeah,

we’re talking about intimacy and sex too. Nobody

else wants to discuss it, but it’s real life.

Mely deals with tremors, drop foot, migraines -

symptoms a lot of you will recognize. But more

than that, she’s using her story to help others feel

less alone, which is exactly what this community

needs.
