Faces of MdDS
“Lost at Sea” by Desiree Meek
Ten thoughtful images create the series “Lost at Sea” that tells a story of powering through the discouragement and darkness that so often come with having a chronic illness like MdDS.
The Facts of MdDS
-
It is typically triggered by motion: cars, trains, airplanes, ships, boats, and even fast elevators. -
The average person sees 20+ doctors before getting a diagnosis. -
Many people are suffering from MdDS and don’t know that they have it. They are undiagnosed. -
The scale of the problem is not matched by research dollars.
The MdDS phenomenon is the natural result of the human brain adapting to environmental motion and is thus the quintessential neurological disorder.
