Cesca shares how standing made a difference with her Multiple Sclerosis

One of the things that I enjoy most about my job at Altimate Medical is hearing the success stories of our customers and helping them share those stories with others. Each story is so unique and will inspire others in a different way.

Cesca’s story is one of the two customer stories on our website about living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), the other is Barbara Pressley. Cesca began having symptoms in her twenties but it took three years of hospital visits and tests before she was diagnosed. According to the National MS Society, in the US today, there are approximately 400,000 people with Multiple Sclerosis, and 200 more people are diagnosed every week. Worldwide, MS is thought to affect more than 2.5 million people.

Cesca’s MS changed her life very quickly. In her story she talks about her experience, “My MS progressed to the point where I was either in a wheelchair or a bed 24/7. Now having that third option of standing, even on days when I don¹t feel well, truly makes a world of difference!” Cesca is very positive and does not let MS limit how she lives her life. Instead she does all that she can to enhance it, like standing in the EasyStand StrapStand. Read Cesca’s story to find out more about the life of this upbeat lady!
