Finding this page the week after my diagnosis changed everything. I finally felt like someone got it.
The CAR-T updates were the clearest explanation I'd found anywhere — and I've read a lot of medical journals.
My sister has MS and this page helped me understand what she actually needs from me. Grateful for it.
About me
I started sharing my MS journey to fill a gap I couldn't find filled anywhere else — a place that was honest about the bad days, hopeful about the good ones, and serious about the science. What began as a Facebook page has grown into a full community.
Read my full storyAbout me
My MS journey started the way most do — with symptoms nobody could quite explain, and a diagnosis that rearranged everything I thought I knew about my future. I remember sitting in the parking lot after my neurologist appointment, googling everything and understanding almost none of it.
MS with Moxie started as a way to process what I was going through. It turned into something bigger: a place where people newly diagnosed, deep into treatment, or supporting someone they love could find honesty instead of pamphlets.
I decided early on that MS could take a lot from me, but it wasn't getting my sense of humor or my hope.
Why I do this
To make sure no one navigates multiple sclerosis feeling as lost as I did on day one — by sharing real stories, honest advice, and clear information on where MS treatment and technology are headed next.
What makes this different
Everything I share is filtered through what it's actually like to live with MS day to day.
Treatment and technology updates — including CAR-T — explained in plain language, not jargon.
MS affects everyone close to you — this space is for them as much as it's for you.

No. I'm not a doctor — I share lived experience, emotional support, and plain-language information. Always talk to your neurologist about treatment decisions.
Yes — a lot of what I do is specifically for the partners, parents, and friends of someone with MS who want to understand and help better.
It's an emerging treatment approach being studied for MS that reprograms a person's own immune cells. I cover ongoing developments in plain language on the blog and Facebook page.
