Listen now
Description
After any Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis, one of the key things that you're going to need is a sense of community. And if you're looking for community online, more and more you will be looking on TikTok. There are a lot of MSers on TikTok but in this episode, I'm continuing to talk to one of the most established presences on that site, Paige Butas aka MSfighter 101. Paige uses her channel to show how she's adapting to life with MS and continuing to thrive. In the final part of our interview, Paige talks about how her MS reared its ugly head again following the COVID pandemic, which led to her canceling the marathons and half-marathons that she'd organized. She tells us how she refused to give up and kept moving, finding new ways to maintain her fitness. Paige also talks about how she discovered TikTok, her favorite things about the platform, and her experiences of being gaslit by medical professionals.
