In this episode, we pull in our friend Louie Preciado to share his perspectives as a person recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. He was formally diagnosed December 1, 2021.
This diagnosis didn’t stop him from achieving his goal to ride the Texas MS150 in April 2022 and six months later finish the MS Ride to the River. But rising to the challenges of these rides was just part of Louie’s journey in navigating his life with MS.
Join us in our conversation with Louie as he talks honestly about adjusting to living with an unpredictable disease, how his persistence ensured he was prescribed the disease-modifying therapy of his choice, and what he does to stay on track and keep moving forward.
Oh yeah, and see what he has to say about whether we were correct in our assertion in Episode 37 that people with MS (like each of us who have had the disease for 20+ years) are forever newly diagnosed.
Here are a few ways to connect with Louie:
