Renita Larsen was an athlete and a dancer when her mysterious symptoms began. She shares her journey over several years and even surgery before connecting with a neurologist who put her history together. Renita credits the support of her family for getting her through years of doctors who told her she was too young and active to have any issues.

In this interview, Renita relates how, on receiving a diagnosis, "You know what it is but you don't know what it is." She also tells how she received her diagnosis while grocery shopping with her husband, her previous awareness of MS, and how she continues to work towards bettering herself in order to slow her progression down.
