While watching the first season of ‚ÄúThe Handmaid‚Äôs Tale,‚ÄĚ my heart raced with panic as June held her daughter Hannah in her arms tightly while she and her husband, Luke, fled the savagery of Gilead. Sprinting through the woods, June and Hannah were caught and torn from one another in a scene every mother would be haunted by forever.

As a structural engineer, it made sense that my dad loved to bake. He followed recipes meticulously, mixing the dry ingredients separate from the wet as I stood on a kitchen chair beside the mixer. We baked countless chocolate chip muffins, peanut butter cookies and pineapple upside down cakes over the years. He taught me no day is complete without dessert. His mother worked magic in the kitchen.

I might have been diagnosed much sooner — and been less afraid of the answer — if I’d known more about multiple sclerosis from the outset. Getting my multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis required consistent self-advocacy, ongoing research, and repeated visits to new doctors. It took 13 years of pushing for an answer to be officially diagnosed. During that search, doctors mentioned the possibility of MS a few times, but multiple other physicians always rejected that as a diagnosis.

Last week, as my recent lab results loaded into the patient portal, my fears came true: “No significant level of detectable measles IgG antibody.”My heart sank as I read the words. As someone who is immunosuppressed, I am unable to receive an MMR booster because live attenuated vaccines can potentially cause me severe illness. Suddenly, I felt even more vulnerable than I had only moments before. I began taking immunosuppressants to treat multiple sclerosis in 2017, and my life changed instantly.
