Be seen. Be heard. Read to the bottom.
It’s been a privilege for us to raise awareness through the eyes of MdDS Warriors. Let’s keep working together and find the better life we deserve.

I hope my book and paintings touch anyone who is at the “bottom of the sea” and can’t find the way out. You are not alone. You can do it. 😄 ~Victoria Cantarelli
Perspective
TRIGGER WARNING: this picture I took causes me great anxiety due to the swirls. 😟 But I really want to share it with my story so others who can relate know they aren’t alone. ~

UN-FUN CLOWN 🤡 by Joanna Richardson
My story is a little different than your traditional MdDS patient, but this is a poem and a drawing I made describing the nonstop dizziness. I would give anything to live in a world that is still. ~Joanna
Portrait of MdDS, a #selfie
On the outside, no one would know that my world rocks and sways and spins and turns, but on the inside I have to work to remain calm and grounded.
MdDS has forced me to learn to slow down and put my own needs first at times. It has also taught me that life can change in an instant. These are incredible lessons. ~Brittany Ashcraft
