A talented singer whose world was the stage feared her love of performing was lost forever when a particularly bad multiple sclerosis (MS) relapse left her unable to stand.
When Carrie Robinson experienced two episodes of optic neuritis – which occurs when swelling damages the optic nerve that transmits visual information from the eye to the brain – it was the first sign that she had the neurological condition, MS.
With other symptoms, including pain and numbness down one side of her body, balance issues and pain in her hips and back, Carrie was diagnosed with relapsing remitting MS in 2018.
