Ayad Marhoon

As anyone with MS will tell you, no two cases are exactly the same.

After being diagnosed with MS in 2019, Ayad began the journey of re-evaluating my life and accepting what was and wasn’t possible for me anymore.

I was first diagnosed with MS when I was 21-years-old – I’m now 24. Over the course of the last 2 years I’ve gone from being able to cycle, skip and go to the gym, to feeling anxious about leaving the house.

This week sees the end of the holy month of Ramadan in 2021. Ayad tells us about his Ramadan, and how his faith helps him with his MS.

“Do you wish you could go back to the way you were before you diagnosed with MS?” It’s a question I get asked all the time, but a question I haven’t yet managed to answer.

Since this lockdown, every day for me is a weekend. And when it first started, that’s exactly how I treated it.
