At war with COVID-19. And MS!
In some way, we all have COVID-19. It makes us battle with ourselves. It makes us seek answers where there are none. In a similar fashion, it feels as if MS reigns in entire families.

Coping with stress in a healthy way can help you get through this difficult time and will make you, the people you care about, and your community stronger.

I've had it with some people's coronavirus apathy. As a result, you'll find more cathartic curse words in this one article than there have been in the last nine years of writing IMSM. Why now? People's meaningless line of indifference towards societal norms & the greater good in some people. Case in point, watch this disorganised, disgraceful lot.
