As a young adult living with MS, you may be facing a unique set of personal and professional challenges. Some of the questions you might find yourself asking are: How will MS impact my career?

MS may change how you envisioned your life, but it doesn’t define who you are.

In this episode, Dr. Kalb and Channing discuss how Channing’s diagnosis at age 16 impacted her romantic life through her early adulthood, what dating looks like for her now, and how MS has shaped what she is looking for in a life partner.
