MS Is a Dog Fight — And I’m Not Done

MS tried to slow me down… and for a while, it landed some heavy blows. Because MS is a dog fight — messy, unpredictable, and some days you feel like you’re swinging blind. And honestly? It feels like I sat down during lockdown… and never fully got back up. Life hit hard. Stress, kids, fatigue, work...

I'm living with MS and don't have a strong family support system. I feel alone in this fight. The thing that keeps me fighting & pushing through everyday is my 2 grown young men/ children & my 1 and only grandson who just turned 3 yrs. old on today. That's one of the reasons I joined this MS group so I can connect with people just like me & that can really understand what my body going through. Also, I've learned so much more about this debilitating disease from you all & I hope I helped you all & motivated and encouraged you like you all have done for me, so thank you all!🫶🏿❤️
