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 over the next two episodes, I'm talking 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 first part of this interview, Paige tells me about her life as an endurance sport junkie before the onset of her initial symptoms. Even when her first notable relapse grounded her in 2018, Paige still thought that the fact that she was at the peak of her physical fitness would carry her through.  Paige also talks about the compassion that she learned through her diagnosis, her experience of choosing MS medication, and the fitness goals that she set for herself following her relapse.  Surely MS was done with her at that point, right?
