Whether you just got diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis or you’ve been living with it for years, you will find out quickly that MS poses a unique challenge to each of us. We need to try our best not to compare our lives and circumstances with others and simply take on one day at a time. What one person with MS can do may prove to be extremely difficult for another. This is why it is imperative that we come together, share our experiences with one another and learn to listen and grow as we face each challenge ahead of us.When I was first diagnosed, I immediately jumped online and began researching, reading stories, and ultimately trying to determine what living with this terrible disease would mean for my future. One of the first articles I stumbled across was about a woman with MS who was excited because she was finally able to work up enough energy and strength to get outside and check her mail. Reading first person accounts like these were absolutely terrifying! I was only in my 20s how could this be happening to me… what did I do to deserve this? Millions of thoughts ran through my mind, consuming my emotions, leaving me with a deep sense of hopelessness. How will I be able to take care of my kiddos and be the best mommy I can be if all of the sudden I wake up and can’t walk anymore? I can’t stand the thought of watching someone else soak in moments with my littles as I watch on the sidelines unable to experience this life with them. As I continued searching I could not find one positive or uplifting story of someone living with this disease. Soaking in all the negativity was beginning to make me feel as though I was living in a fog. It was as if the world was going on as always and there I was standing in the middle of it all, watching and wishing I could be a part of it. All of the “normal” mundane things that I used to complain about and take for granted suddenly seemed so out of reach. Will I feel this way forever? Will I always be scared of what the next day holds and live my life in fear? There has to be a reason for all of this, someday this will all make perfect sense.Eventually I began to realize that if I was given this ugly disease I might as well try to make something beautiful out of it. That is when the brand, Thirteen Nineteen (1319), came to life! I knew I wanted to create a subtle yet noticeable way to unite those of us with MS and our supporters and highlight our strength! Thirteen Nineteen stands for the Thirteenth (M) and the Nineteenth (S) letters of the English alphabet. I wanted to create something positive that would be a great conversation starter and would open the doors for those who desire to share their story.
