Do you know someone who have random symptoms that can be attributed to stress? Seemingly inconsequential conditions such as fatigue, heat sensitivity and back pain? Does your insurance company recommend physical therapy before an MRI? This is what happened to Kristen and it lead to a delayed diagnosis of MS. There is no cure for MS. Currently, doctors can assign extremely expensive infusion therapy that can slow the progression, but Kristen is raising money for research towards a cure for MS and now you can help. Listen to Kristen's story on the Loving Life Fitness Podcast (click here).
Kristen O'Toole shares an emotional life story of a young, successful PR professional with a whole life full of opportunity ahead of her, until one day she is diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). With her vague, early symptoms, Kristen shares that she went undiagnosed for over 20 years and the insurance company delayed her MRI and ultimately delayed her diagnosis and preventative treatment plan. Kristen shares early symptoms of MS, the importance of a quick diagnosis, medication, advocation for a cure and how exercise has helped her maintain her independence and mobility.
