The more MS takes, the more I speak up

Posted on September 8, 2025 by

Multiple Sclerosis has taken a lot from me over the past 25 years.

Building connections and relationships with elected officials, like with our State Senator Roger Hauck, is one way ennifer and I are using our voices following our MS diagnoses.

I mean, I could’ve let that be the end of the story when it slowly stole essential things like feeling in my fingers and toes.

But instead, those losses pushed me to speak up even louder.

In an essay I wrote for MS Focus Magazine – “Lost some nerves, found my voice” – I get real about how the physical challenges of MS have pushed me to speak up, not just for myself, but for others navigating this unpredictable disease.

It’s funny how something like numb hands can wake up something inside you that’s even stronger.

If you’ve ever felt like MS was trying to shrink your world, I hope this piece reminds you that your voice still matters and that it may even get louder than the struggles we face.

Give it a read, and share your comments on what strengths you’ve found about yourself in dealing with the realities of MS.
