Having MS doesn’t give any of us a free pass to be horrible to everyone. Life is hard enough without spreading bitterness around. I’ve been very fortunate to speak to so many talented MSers—a lawyer, a nurse, a chemist, and people from all walks of life. Some have fewer physical limitations; others live with severe disabilities. So many are still finding their own ways to participate in life, contribute and support others. That looks different for everyone. Sometimes it’s working, creating or raising a family. Sometimes it’s getting through a bloody difficult day and still finding a kind word for someone else. There are so many MSers who refuse to roll over and play dead. To you, I salute you. And to everyone who has taken the time to speak to me: thank you. Your honesty, humour and generosity have meant a lot. We’re wrapping up this batch of filming for Myelin Maniacs, and the clips will start rolling out soon. Real people. Real MS. Plenty of life left in us. 💚
