MS Fighter

They told me multiple sclerosis (MS) would slow me down. They said I’d have to take it easy, avoid pushing too hard, and accept my limits.

I didn’t. And nor should you.

Instead, I walked into the gym and picked up the heaviest weight I could handle. And then I did it again the next day… and the next.

Multiple sclerosis came for me approx. 10 years ago and it hit like an ambush – one day, I was fine, and the next day, I was being told my body might start betraying me. Before my first attack, I had an inner feeling that something is wrong with me and suddenly, out of nowhere, I lost my sight. Fast-forward to my first doctor-patient talk, I was told that I might lose strength, control, vision, mobility overtime. That I’d have to „listen to my body“, which, at the time, sounded a lot like „accept weakness“. It sounded like I will lose myself, my body, my mental well-being, everything I cared about.

Fuck that.

I wasn’t about to let some diagnosis define me. MS is indeed unpredictable, relentless, and unforgiving. Fine. Screw it. So am I.

For the past decade, I’ve been lifting, boxing, pushing, and proving that I’m stronger than the condition that is trying to slow me down. I’ve learned how to train smarter, fight harder, and refuse to surrender to the idea that MS means I have to be fragile.

This blog is for the ones who get it. For those who don’t get it but do want to get it. For the fighters. For the ones who refuse to fold. Or simply for people who feel somehow lost, alone, and need support. Because indeed MS is a weight – but just like any other weight, I choose to lift it.

My Story: A Brief One for Now

I was diagnosed with MS about 10 years ago, and I remember that very moment clearly, as it was yesterday. The doctor explained what MS was, how it could affect my body, my mind, and what I should “expect” in the upcoming days, weeks, and years. Words like fatigue, weakness, mobility issues, and unpredictability were thrown at me like a set of chains.

I was in my 20s, young and active, and suddenly, I was being told that my own body could start betraying me at any time, without any warning. That I should take it easy, slow down, adjust my expectations.

No way!

I immediately decided that MS wasn’t going to dictate my life. Instead of backing off, playing the victim, I pushed forward. Instead of avoiding the gym, it made it my battlefield. Every time MS tried to wear me down with fatigue, numbness, frustration, I hit back harder.

And suddenly working out became my weapon. Most people assume that MS means avoiding physical strain, not lifting heavy, no extend cardio, being careful. But what they don’t tell you is that working out doesn’t just build your body, it builds your mind.

I committed to training five days a week, even when MS made it harder. Some days, the fatigue was brutal. Some days, my body felt like it was working against me. But I learned how to adapt, how to push through, and most importantly, how to never quit.

Over the years, I figured out what worked for me:

• How to train hard without breaking down.
• How to manage energy levels and recovery.
• How to mentally overpower the bad days.
• How to use fitness to stay in control when MS feels unpredictable.

This blog exists because I know I’m not the only one in this fight. This does not concern only people with MS. There are plenty of other diagnoses that feel like “this is the end”. No, it does not end. Not today. Not tomorrow.

Why I’m Sharing This Now

For a long time, I just focused on my own battle. Honestly, only few people around me even know I have MS (not even my mother and sister know about my diagnosis). Why? I like to go through shit alone. Don’t be like me. After 10 years, whenever I heard someone talking about working out with MS (or other neurodegenerative-related diagnosis), about training through the struggle, about refusing to let a diagnosis define you, I realized there are a lot of people out there who need this. People who need support and encouragement.

Some are newly diagnosed, feeling lost and they don’t know what’s next. Some have had MS for years and want to fight back. Some don’t have MS at all, but they know what it’s like to be told they can’t do something.

This blog is for anyone who refuses to surrender. Whether you have MS, another condition, or just life throwing punches at you, I want to show that to fight is always a choice. Because MS may be part of my life, but it sure as hell doesn’t own me.

Welcome to round 1. Welcome to the fight. Let’s get to work.

What’s Coming Next

This is just the beginning. I didn’t start this blog to post once and disappear, I started it because there’s a story to tell, a fight to document, and a message to be spread. MS doesn’t mean weak. MS doesn’t mean fragile. MS doesn’t mean giving up.

Over the time, I’ll be diving deep into what it really takes to stay strong while living with MS. No fluff. No sugarcoating. Just real, hard-earned lessons from 10 years of training, pushing, and refusing to quit. I will dig down how I battled both mental and physical impacts of MS on my mind and body

Here’s what’s coming next:

Training & strength: how I work out with MS

• The exact training methods I use to stay strong.
• How to adjust your workouts based on fatigue, balance, and symptoms.
• My go-to mobility drills, strength exercises, and conditioning work.

Mindset & mental toughness: winning the fight against MS

• How I’ve stayed consistent for a decade, even on the worst days.
• The mental tricks I use to push through MS fatigue.
• How to develop an unstoppable mindset when life (or your body) tries to hold you back.

Nutrition, supplements & recovery: what fuels me

• The foods I focus on to keep my body running at its best.
• The supplements that actually help vs. overhyped garbage.
• Recovery methods that keep me in the gym instead of on the sidelines.

Breaking MS myths & challenging the narrative

• “You shouldn’t lift heavy with MS.” Watch me.
• “Fatigue means you should stop straining.” No way. Learn how to work around it.
• “You’ll get weaker over time.” Not if you fight back.

Real talk: the hard days & how I get through them

• I won’t pretend every day is easy. Most of them are not.
• Some days, MS hits hard. Some days, training feels impossible.
• I’ve found ways to adapt, push forward, and stay in control. I’ll be sharing all of it.

This Blog is a War Journal, not a Diary (maybe a little bit of a diary)

I’m here to document the fight. To share what I’ve learned. To prove that strength isn’t about lifting weights, it’s about refusing to back down. If you’re someone who’s ready to push limits, defy expectations, and get stronger, both physically and mentally, this is for you.

So stick around. Follow the journey. And let’s prove, together, that MS doesn’t get the last word. I’m here for you.

I didn’t start this blog for sympathy. I didn’t start it to dwell on what MS has taken or could take. I started it because I know what it means to fight back, to wake up every day, stare adversity in the face, and refuse to bow down. You know the story, especially newly diagnosed people know this; you will start looking for information about MS on the internet and only thing you can find are the worst possible scenarios. Then you will look for a podcast on MS and you will hear people with MS telling the interviewer that they had to slow down, that they had to quit the job they were working in, that they had to stop doing things they like, etc.. No, it’s not like that!

MS is indeed unpredictable. Some days, it hits hard. Really hard. But here’s the thing, so do I.

This blog is my war journal. A place to document the fight, share what I‘ve learned, and prove that strength isn’t just about muscle, it’s about mindset, discipline, and the refusal to quit.

And if you’re reading this, I know you’ve got your own battle to win. I know you’ve got that fight in you, too.

Like Rocky Balboa said:

“You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done.”

That’s the mindset. That’s the mission. I’ve been getting hit for a decade, but I’m still standing, still pushing through.

And I ‘m just getting started.

So if you’re ready to defy expectations, break limits, and prove that MS doesn’t get the last word, stick around.Because this fight isn’t over. Not even close. There is plenty of rounds left, plenty of reps to finish.
