The Facts of MdDS
-
It is typically triggered by motion: cars, trains, airplanes, ships, boats, and even fast elevators. -
The average person sees 20+ doctors before getting a diagnosis. -
Many people are suffering from MdDS and don’t know that they have it. They are undiagnosed. -
The scale of the problem is not matched by research dollars.
The MdDS phenomenon is the natural result of the human brain adapting to environmental motion and is thus the quintessential neurological disorder.

“My poem expresses both the disorientation and emotional toll of MdDS and the strength, resilience, and grace required to navigate it. I hope that it’s message echoes for others as well.” ~ Elizabeth
