Today on MS Understood we chat with Sarah Preissner. Sarah's story takes us back to when she was

8 years old when she and her mother noticed that her hand writing was messy and she had no

control over it, she was then not diagnosed until the day after her 13th birthday. We talk about how

it grew with her and how grief for her looked so different to what it does for others given that she

was so young. She finds she now grieves for her parents having to go through that with their child.

And while she didn't grieve for herself when she was young, she's now finding it something she

really has to put focus on now that her and her husband are talk about having a family. We talk

about how an MS diagnosis can be seen as an excuse or crutch from the outside, and when Sarah

heard people saying this about her, she and her sister decided to run a half marathon.
