Self-proclaimed "professional sick person" Jackie Zimmerman was confused when her doctor sent her for a series of neurological tests after she complained of numbness. And even then it was an off-hand comment from somebody unconnected that first put the words Multiple Sclerosis into her head.
After receiving her official diagnosis at the age of 21 in a horribly abrupt fashion, she swapped her first neurologist for someone who "frankly didn't suck as much."
Even after being diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, Jackie continues to show that, even if it feels like it, your life isn't over. She advises people to get to know their MS as if it's a person and remember that, even at rock bottom, going upwards is always an option.
