Heather Johnson is a Brooklyn-based actor who was diagnosed with MS after a scary experience while visiting Columbia. MS is an autoimmune disease that damages the tissue around the brain and spinal cord, which is called myelin. In layman’s terms, when someone has MS their immune system starts to attack their own tissues. Following a headache and temporary loss of vision in her right eye, Johnson got several MRIs in order to find out what caused it. She was met with a diagnosis she wasn’t equipped to fully comprehend.
Johnson describes multiple sclerosis as a hidden disease, and she shared with us routines and habits that help her manage this chronic condition. If you’d like to learn more about early symptoms of MS, check out this additional resource.
