Floating Away
Putting MdDS into words is sometimes so incredibly difficult. I am grateful for this opportunity to be creative and express what I feel on paper. ~Alexis Dolgoff, DPT

Seasick On Land. This ink-on-paper series is one artist’s way of raising awareness 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.
Young Woman Depicts Her Experience with MdDS Through Her Art
Depicting her experience with MdDS through art, Christina shared Infinite Waves with us. The strong symbolism in this painting allows those living with MdDS to find commonality and validation for their own feelings.
My resilience saved me. Yours can save you. 💙
My onset was spontaneous instead of motion induced. In fact, I was diagnosed shortly after a surgical procedure. Some doctors’ attitudes and an experience at the ER almost broke me. But I didn’t lose hope, got back up on my feet, and regained my strength. I encourage you to see your progress and strength as I did. My resilience saved me. Yours can save you. 💙 Together, let’s continue advocating for ourselves and a cure because I truly believe that one exists.
Gravitational Pull
I have made this painting as a way to visualise, capture, and why not, pay tribute to this invisible condition that is affecting my life but also making me appreciate it more. I dedicate this to all of you, #MdDSwarriors. ~Alex Bodea
