I have Multiple Sclerosis since 7 years and had my last MS relapse last year. I am scared that…
10 years ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (not a shock due to family history), high blood pressure (no exactly a surprise except for how high it was at the time) and surprise surprise Congenital heart defect (which no one seemed all that concerned about).
