Voices of SPS: Janie Lees

The Today Show (online) featured Janie’s story last year, primetime coverage of a rare disease. Janie was always a hard-charger with a big career and kids to raise on her own. The perplexing symptoms came in her mid-50’s: she couldn’t walk down stairs well, her legs felt heavy in the pool, she developed Type I diabetes, she dropped to 85 pounds. SPS changed her life dramatically, but Janie tells The SPSRF, she’s a lucky lady.
