A recent graduate of Clear Lake High School, Jackson Minter is not letting his multiple sclerosis diagnosis stop his college career in track.With triple-digit heat index values appearing to turn the track into a toaster, Jackson Minter is not only willing to work out - he's excited to just keep going.
Minter's opportunity is living and thriving despite a rare diagnosis for someone his age. While in intermediate school, Jackson had numbness in his face and tingling in his fingers and toes. At the age of 13, he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Dr. Shukla is an assistant professor in the Department of Pediatric Neurology at Texas Children's Hospital who has been treating Jackson for years. Dr. Shukla credits him and his family for the early detection of his MS symptoms.
A driving force in that: the advancement, in just two decades, of medication to treat MS. During his first several years after diagnosis, Jackson took injections three times a week. He's recently shifted to an infusion medication administered just twice a year.where he'll run track on scholarship and with MS.
