It’s one thing to realize something is wrong—it’s another to act on it. By the time I decided to talk to my mom’s doctor, the silent signs of dementia were no longer subtle. She wasn’t just forgetting where she’d left her keys or struggling to follow the rules of a…
Living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has taught me to notice the small things—changes in my energy levels, shifts in my symptoms, and how my body reacts to stress. What I didn’t realize was that this awareness would also come into play as I began to notice the subtle, almost imperceptible…
