Surfing the MS Energy Wave

If your MS is like mine, surviving a day is much like surfing. The ocean is an energy field and the waves come in, some higher and most with deep troughs. When I'm in between energy waves, down in the trough, I just dog-paddle along the best I can. When the wave crests, I feel like I'm surfing on a ...

Have you found your MS energy?

Have you changed your outlook on life or your priorities in some way since being diagnosed with MS? We call this 'MS energy': it's the desire to do something - anything - positive following your diagnosis. It can happen right away or months or years after. We've launched a project to capture and s...

🍎 Snow White and the Seven Symptoms

Snow White stumbled across a cottage containing seven dwarfs. Not the Disney ones. These were the MS dwarfs, where every character comes with a neurologist and a leaflet. 😴 Sleepy slept 10 hours and woke up absolutely shattered. “What did you do yesterday?” “Nothing.” “Today?” “Also looking ...

I MAY HAVE FUCKED UP WITH THE GARDEN WALL ☀️😂

I painted my garden wall bright white. Looked lovely. Clean. Fresh. Mediterranean. Then the sun came out. I've basically built the Men in Black neuralyzer in my back garden. You can't look directly at the fucking thing. Every time the sun hits it: FLASH. Who am I? Why am I outside? Why am ...

MS Stories - Who wants to tell theirs?

To everyone living with MS, I want you to remember this today: you are so much stronger than the days that make you feel weak. ❤️Some days, simply getting out of bed is a victory. Some days, your body may not cooperate, your energy may disappear, or symptoms may make you wonder how you will keep going. And that is okay. You don't have to be strong every second. You don't have to pretend that everything is fine.Give yourself permission to rest. Give yourself permission to have difficult days. But when tomorrow comes, remind yourself that your diagnosis does not define the beautiful person you are.MS may have changed some parts of your journey, but it does not get to decide the value of your life, the dreams in your heart, or the love you deserve.Take life one day at a time. Celebrate the small victories. Be gentle with yourself. Keep hope alive, even when the road feels uncertain.And on the days when you feel like giving up, remember: you have already survived every difficult day that brought you here. That means there is still strength within you, even when you cannot feel it.To every MS warrior reading this—keep going, keep believing, keep taking care of yourself, and never forget that your story is still being written. 🌷💙You are not your MS. You are a warrior, a survivor, and a person worthy of hope, love, and brighter days. 🙏❤️
