I am a Physician Assistant working in Lifestyle Medicine and Multiple Sclerosis research. I also have MS, so I offer a rare and valuable dual perspective that can deeply resonate with both patients who have MS, as well as medical professionals treating MS patients. I wanted to create a safe place to discuss things related to MS and other autoimmune conditions.
