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...

Some days I’m ok other days it’s super hard. I can never count on consistency with my person but I guess at least I know why now. It was much harder when I didn’t know why I had to chose to eat out lay down. Why I couldn’t have the kind of energy my coworkers had and why by the end of a work week I could do nothing but stay in bed and not move till it started over on Monday again. I get really frustrated sometimes but I do try to have some love for myself when I feel this way.

Or maybe I’m not getting enough of some vitamins or just moving around . What have yall done to figure out what’s goin...
