'Unlike what a lot of Black women go through, I felt like [my doctor] listened to me and took my concerns to heart. But because my pain level would go up and down so much, it was hard to pinpoint the cause.'
I got married in 2014. I remember waking up with numb feet a couple months after we bought our house. But I didn’t think much of it at the time. I could always feel the floor again once I’d finished brushing my teeth.
I wasn’t diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis right away. That came in May 2021, when I was 39. But I don’t blame my doctor. Unlike what a lot of Black women go through, I felt like she listened to me and took my concerns to heart. But because my pain level would go up and down so much, it was hard to pinpoint the cause.I went back to my doctor. I told her I was still having pain every day, and it’d been 2 years. We needed to figure out what was going on.
I’d heard of multiple sclerosis, but I didn’t really know what it was. And when the doctor didn’t ask me if I had any questions, I knew he wasn’t right for me. Then, maybe 6 or 7 months after my diagnosis, I was in so much pain that I couldn’t move my neck. When I told my doctor about it, he pressed on me the importance of early treatment. It’s not going to cure you, he told me, but medication can help stop the progression.
