Anna Webber, on a Richer, Healthier Life with MS

As a professional photographer, consistent daily management of her multiple sclerosis helps her live life on her terms.

When were you diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS)?

At 23, during my junior year at Pepperdine University.

Is there a person, place, or thing that helps you live with the diagnosis?

MS inspires me to live a richer, healthier life. I read, create, exercise, and socialize more because of it. Day-to-day, the mobile app, "My MS Manager" from the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America (MSAA) has been indispensable. It really means I can live my life with MS. As a photographer, I often travel. Inconsistent sleep and diet can throw anyone off, especially someone managing a chronic disease. The peace of mind that comes with carrying all my relevant MS information in my pocket helps free my mind to go about my day.
