Robin Cohen has lived with multiple sclerosis (MS) for over 25 years, facing challenges such as severe mobility issues and spasticity in her legs. Initially diagnosed with foot drop after a hiking trip, her condition progressed to primary progressive MS, affecting her daily life significantly. Despite these hurdles, she strives to maintain her mobility through adaptive techniques like aquatic exercise and acknowledging her changing abilities. Cohen's journey inspires others, highlighted in the documentary short "How I Roll," showcasing her undeterred spirit and passion for travel.
When I got home, I went to the doctor and found out from neurology tests I had oligoclonal banding, which can be a sign of multiple sclerosis (MS).
Every day is different, but within parameters. Some days, everything clicks to the best of my abilities; others, I'm out of sorts.
I started with a cane, but I couldn't get from 51st to 52nd Street. It was hard for me to keep up with my kids.
It feels like I'm lifting 1,000 pounds. If I want to bend them, they don't cooperate.
