Beneath The Tracksuit

Beneath The Tracksuit

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at 26. I handled it well at first, I think. The symptoms were scary but they were minor, so I think mentally I figured I could live with it. At 30 I had a major relapse and new inflammation appeared in different areas of the brain and in my central nervous system. This left me with several life-changing symptoms. I need a walking stick and I use a wheelchair or a mobility scooter. I have bouts of the strangest pains, in the face, on the skin, in my bones. Fatigue and brain fog can be horrendous. This left me with horrible depression and heightened anxiety. I felt horrible. With the support of a counselor and my wife, I began working my way through it. I began writing poetry too. I managed to find a voice through the pain. I used writing as a tool to help me with my issues. It was a game-changer for me. All my struggles were hidden. The MS, the depression, and the anxiety are all invisible and happening "Beneath The Tracksuit". So I decided to use that as my poetry name, "Beneath The Tracksuit". I took writing about it to a whole new level. I used my painful words and built a career. I have written two books, I have music available on all streaming sites, and I have been featured in magazines all over the world. I'm working with a fellow MS Warrior "Atom St George" on a project "The Painter and The Poet". He is an outstanding painter from California. I perform on stage reading my work, I have even performed at a festival. The end goal with performing is to have my stage show. I have made so many new friends, true friends and I have fans and followers from across the globe. I'm raising awareness and supporting so many people. My path to Robbie from Beneath The Tracksuit all started with a diagnosis.
