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

Anita Williams - Do Your Own Research, Responsibly

April 07, 2022 • Episode 3

Anita Williams’ advocacy work comes through her two roles at iConquerMS, a participant-driven research organization that aims to better understand, treat, and ultimately cure MS. She is the Co-Chair of the Engagement Committee, as well as being Co-Chair of the Committee for Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion. Anita also writes regular articles for MultipleSclerosis.net.

In this interview, Anita tells of the unusual path her MS diagnosis took, and how the way in which the doctor delivered the diagnosis led to a passionate belief that patients should do their own research - but from established and reliable sources.
