In this episode, we discuss John’s rule #6, which is you are the leading expert on YOUR MS. John discusses the realization, value, and importance as an individual living with MS while properly and accurately sharing this experience. Because of the ‘snowflake’ nature of multiple sclerosis, you have the opportunity to share your experiences, many of which are specific to you, making you the leading expert. Through this rule, John has gained the confidence to share his expertise as a regular consumer peer reviewer and mentor for the MS Research Program under the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program. Your experience with MS matters and we insightfully advance MS research through your expertise as well.
