March marks Multiple Sclerosis Awareness. Montgomery resident Jessica Lynch is a wife, mother and multiple sclerosis warrior who is balancing it all at just 31.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - March is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month, a time to focus on the disease often referred to simply as MS, which causes the immune system to eat away at the protective covering of nerves, leading to a wide variety of painful symptoms.
Jessica Lynch is a wife, mother and multiple sclerosis warrior, and she’s balancing it all at just 31. “I’ve tried to not say I have MS,” Lynch explained. “I have a diagnosis of MS, you know, because it’s not going to control me.”“I was a waitress,” she recalled, “and I was, like, dropping glasses and spilling water to customers. And then as the day went on, it just got worse and worse, and they actually thought I was having a stroke.”
“I never heard about it or anything like that, and, you know, research seems scary,” she explained. “I haven’t gotten back to what I was before that diagnosis. During my worst relapse it was so bad I thought I wasn’t gonna come back from it. But I came back. I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t talk. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t even bathe myself.”
