“Like many others, I struggled to get a diagnosis — at first trying to manage my early symptoms alone.
I started going to the doctor in 2018, but my symptoms were dismissed as low vitamin D, poor posture, perimenopause, or a shoulder impingement.
It wasn’t until 2021 that I finally had an MRI of my cervical spine, which showed compression.
I underwent ACDF surgery in Dec ’23, but unfortunately, it hasn’t resolved the issue. I still have compression and am now waiting for a second opinion on the next surgical step.
I’m supporting Miles for Myelopathy because I want to raise awareness — even helping just one person avoid delays that could lead to permanent damage would be worth it.
I’m also passionate about supporting this charity’s vital work — from research to the incredible support offered through the helpline.” 💬💛
