Earlier this month, MyCounterpane founder Kate Milliken partnered with MS superhero Heather Love Leffel to ask you what you’ve lost because of your MS. Your video responses were so powerful that over 50,000 people viewed and shared them – in two days!
This brings us to a new collaboration, this time with Kate, Heather, and Mary Pettigrew of MS Pals. The question is this: How has MS made you a stronger person?
With MS Awareness Month quickly approaching in March, we want to create a second wave of awareness about how strong and powerful MSers are. And you know just how strong that is.
Record your example below. And if you want to be included in our next (hopefully viral) compilation video, record or add a video response.

Update: Your responses
I exercise like crazy now, ms has been my motivation to become even more physically active. It also puts feel good chemicals in your brain.
Being diagnosed in 1992 at the age of 41 and slowly losing my mental awareness of my thought and physical process my job completely fell apart and I was forced to take state disability in 2004. I now have poor medical care from The Veterans Hospital and I still have RRMS. Doctors are now telling me I never had it because I should be in a Wheelchair and unable to walk by now at my age. I personally think they are full of it, and am fighting to prove I have MS. I start Medicare this month and am going back to my original Doctor outside of the VA who in the past diagnosed me for the 2nd time. Now if i havent progressed then it proves my meds Avonex has been working and keeping me in submission. The Psychological effect has made me bitter. My next move hopefully will put this to rest otherwise the state my come back at me and make me pay everything back.
