Aaron sat down with Emily in Washington, D.C. to talk life-upending medical diagnoses.
Emily tells her story about experiencing a sharp, searing pain behind her right eye starting in October 2012, which became total numbness & tingling down her entire right side – all at the age of 27. After a long series of doctor’s visits and tests, she finally received the news that she has an autoimmune disease in February 2013.
As Emily explains it, multiple sclerosis (“MS”) is an autoimmune disease where your immune system attacks your body, specifically your nervous system. If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms or something feels off, please visit a medical professional you trust!
Advice to Live By from This Episode: “For anybody potentially thinking about a career in medicine, become a neurologist!” –Emily
