MS Mom
Kelly Pichitino, 33, talks about her Multiple Sclerosis and her concerns for the future from her home northwest of Tucson, AZ. After her diagnosis in 2013, she formed an internet community for moms with MS and it has grown to more than 3,000 people. It's not a place for medical advice but rather for emotional support, since having MS as a young parent can be isolating and scary.
