But she didn't let this get her down. She worked in Chicago, went skydiving, scuba diving and saw the world. After 13 years in Berlin and one at the North Sea, she now lives with her husband, daughter and two gerbils on the banks of the Elbe in Pirna, just outside Dresden.
In her podcast "MS-Perspektive", she shares her view of multiple sclerosis and reports on ways to positively influence the disease. She also provides information about new scientific findings, interviews experts and lets other patients have their say. Since 2022, she has been studying Multiple Sclerosis Management in the part-time Master's program as the only patient together with doctors. In her autobiography, she describes her first 15 years with MS:
- Multiple sclerosis? Don't be afraid! A 15-year experience report
In her free time, she reads books, listens to podcasts and music and spends time with her family and friends.
The six children's books by Nele Handwerker are currently only available in German. The focus is on animal heroes who experience adventure and community despite their individual differences.lihat lebih sedikit
