I live in Hungary with my husband and daughter. I am an engineer and work in an office. I design water utility systems. My work is mostly desk-based, but site visits involve a lot of walking.
In 2013, I was diagnosed with melanoma, and in 2014 with depression. I take medication for my depression — I tried stopping it once, and it didn’t end well. My condition relapsed, and my doctor and I agreed that I would need to take the medication for the rest of my life. Only this way can I live what might be called a normal life.
In August 2025, I was diagnosed with MS. This happened one month before my 48th birthday.
I created this blog to write about what I am going through, how I experience this disease, and — just as importantly — to describe how MS is treated here, in Hungary.
I hope others will also share their experiences from their own countries. Perhaps by sharing our stories we can help each other, and draw strength from knowing we are not alone.
I don’t know yet how often I will post — I don’t want a rigid schedule. I want to document this journey honestly.
I am launching this blog on 30 May 2026, fittingly on World Multiple Sclerosis Day — my first MS World Day as an MS warrior.
English is not my native language. I speak very little English, and I use artificial intelligence to help with the translations.
