Joan Worth – De Pere, WI

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2014 at the age of 62.

My biggest problem is walking and fatigue. My manual treadmill right now enables me to get around OK without a cane and don’t forget the shopping cart to hang on to. I used to be soooo active in my work, kayaking, hiking.

I’ve always been a frustrated artist having to choose between art supplies, work space, time or the basic living cost.

In 2015 I discovered coloring books! I now have a platform for direction. My books are available on Amazon.

Stopped going crazy being immobile and being ostracized. I now draw what grabs me. All I need is a ream of card stock, pens, computer and my Husband.

It is important to find what you can do to focus on beyond MS.
