🧡 Happy World MS Day! 🧡
Is Multiple Sclerosis its own worst enemy?
MS doesn’t concern itself with how long your bucket list is. It adds unexpected chapters to your story where you didn’t want any, and it’s up to us to fill these pages advocating for our own new normals, even when we feel ill-equipped.
COVID-19: Show healthcare professionals some respect!
This is not the theory of relativity, but a theory of morality. By protecting yourself you are saving others
World MS Day 2025: Early Diagnosis after 200 days
"To many, life with MS can seem like a book where letters have been replaced by numbers or where the cover can be too hard or too soft for its content. Because of this, I don’t want them to see what MS can turn into. I refuse to show them that there is no cure, I refuse to give them a reason to give up on me. In my view, it is very much a case of the illness being mine, but the tragedy theirs if I let them."
But you don’t look sick!
