Mara Fowler has lived with multiple sclerosis for 26 years, diagnosed just after her 21st birthday, after being misdiagnosed with complex migraines. She’s been through plasmapheresis, eight and a half months of not walking, seizures, a torn labrum, and the kind of cognitive decline that quietly dismantles the life you built. She joins Kim Nash, who is currently going through the McDonald MS diagnostic criteria herself, for a deeply personal conversation about resilience, relearning your limits, building the right care team, and why sharing your story might be the most powerful thing you can do for someone else.
