Marcia Williams
Advocate

During her first nursing job, Marcia Williams noticed things like double vision, trouble keeping her balance, and leg pain. But she chalked it up to working a lot of extra hours. Over time, new symptoms developed, so she went in for a series of checkups. And in 1998, she was officially diagnosed with RRMS. After years of ups and downs, Williams found she could manage her condition so she can maintain a high degree of independence. Today she lives in Detroit and volunteers as a yoga instructor for others with MS.
