MS | I Can No Longer Control My Limbs
MS | I Can No Longer Control My Limbs
We wanted to share this woman's story showing her discovery and diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. She slowly uncovers that she is losing control of her limbs, almost like a rag-doll. It affects her daily life activities and makes tasks like working and eating extremely difficult. Through panic, she still manages to find positivity in her condition and remains hopeful for the future. This story, like many others, should encourage those who are dealing with any illness that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and that an illness doesn't mean you can not live a healthy fulfilling life.
We hope this video can help bring together those who also deal with this disease or know anyone that does!

HG | I Chose My Life Over My Baby's
HG | I Chose My Life Over My Baby's
Our submitter, and loving mother, suffers from a rare condition called Hyperemesis Gravidarum through her pregnancies - a condition that essentially turns you into a walking zombie. It got to the point where she could no longer even take care of her other two children. By her 7th week of pregnany she became incapable of eating, caring for herself and even surviving. Her kidneys were giving out and her body no longer absorbed the nutrients she and her baby needed to survive.. she had no choice.. it was either her or the baby. If she keeps the baby, how can she survive and pay the bills? but if she doesn't... she loses a life. Watch to see what happens...

Vasculitis | I Felt Like My Legs Were On Fire
Vasculitis | I Felt Like My Legs Were On Fire
Dinky; our main character suddenly wakes up to excruciating pain in her legs but doesn't know why it hurts so much. She goes many days of having her mum ignore her symptoms and doctors misdiagnose her before she learns what her condition is. She suffers through raging blisters and hundreds of spots all over her legs as her immune system began attacking her blood vessels.
We want to raise awareness around this condition so that people get checked sooner and not ignore their symptoms.
