Reconnect with Heidi to learn how she took back control to pursue HSCT Warriors (S7 replay)

HSCT Warriors

Warrior: Heidi Peterson AI: Relapsing Remitting MS HSCT: July, 2019 Superpower: strength Do you take the time to celebrate in life? How often do you recognize the little victories? Although Heidi was diagnosed relatively soon after her first experiences with early symptoms of multiple sclerosis, the doctor she saw focused more on prescribing medications to treat symptoms she was experiencing and it seemed her MS diagnosis was set aside. After seeking other care that led to identifying additional health issues, she soon realized the tally of prescriptions totaled thirty different medications, including some that should not be taken together. Tune in to learn more about how Heidi regained control of her health care and pursued HSCT in Monterrey, spent six months taking cautions to work through neutropenia, only to return to quarantine due to covid.
