It took DeLisa French ten years from the onset of her symptoms before she got a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. She now sees MS as a blessing and a curse, and although it might slow her down, she won't let it stop her.
DeLisa is another guest to advise people to advocate for themselves on their own diagnosis journeys. As she says, whether you're covered by Medicaid, Medicare, or Health Insurance, your doctors are paid by YOU. So make sure they know what you're dealing with!
DeLisa's MS has now been classified as Secondary Progressive, but she continues to look forward to the future with positivity.
