MS Diagnosis Journey

In the chronic disease arena, most everyone is more than willing to share their story for their own benefit and that of others. At the core of each story is the diagnosis. Everyone has a story to tell, and every storyteller needs an audience. We invite you to join us for the Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis Journey podcast and listen to these unique stories. There's much to learn from each other by listening to these stories of diagnosis. By sharing their experiences with others, the MS Diagnosis journey podcast will serve as a vehicle for healing and empowerment for the storyteller. Support of this project is made possible through the generosity of Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson.

MS Diagnosis Journey

Dawn Morgan: "You Mean I'm Gonna Look Like Janet Reno?!"

October 20, 2022 • Laura Kolaczkowski • Episode 31

Dawn Morgan was young and living her best single-woman life when abnormal symptoms began to disrupt her life. The first doctor she saw put what she was experiencing down to B12 deficiency and her vegetarian diet. However, what she now knows is MS fatigue wouldn't let her be.

As a young woman, Dawn admits that she found it hard to make herself heard. Like many people with Multiple Sclerosis, it took several years to get a correct diagnosis, and even longer to find her "forever neurologist."

In this interview, Dawn talks about her initial reaction to being diagnosed, the neurologist who told her to "wait and see" before starting treatment, and the value of seeking a second opinion.
