My name is Edie Sohigian. I grew up in a home where I was fearful every day. Fearful that my mother would find something she did not approve of. As a result, I did not care for myself very much and out of this grew an eating disorder. As an adult my lifestyle has been reckless at times while still being an over achiever. I've accomplished a lot in my career, but I am always a work in progress.

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis on Easter Sunday in 2015. Four days before that I checked myself into the hospital because I was numb from my neck to my toes. A neurologist told me that was the only way I was going to get diagnosed.

I say that my MS diagnosis saved my life. I was in a spiral of unhealthy behaviors from stress to sleep, diet, and movement. I've changed many aspects of my life since my diagnosis, but the most important is my mindset.
