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...

MS Stories - Who wants to tell theirs?

Hi guys! Haven't been around here lately, as I was hard at work on the blog (linked in my profile). Hope everyone's OK and keeping up with their lives.

Does Heat zap your energy?

So this is a bit of a rant. As luck would have it my AC went out on Thursday. I called the AC repair place (which came out literally three weeks ago and said they fixed it) and they said due to the Fourth of July holiday they could not come out until Saturday . They came out today and they told me ...

So this is a conundrum when I go to work I’m full of energy and moving around, now that I’m on holiday break I have no energy. I would rather just laying in bed all day and do nothing. I almost wish Work was sooner?

I got diagnosed four years ago. This is the first time I’m talking to anybody outside of my family, but I still feel like I can get more information if anybody has any tips or any helpful ways to help me deal with the daily fatigue and lack of energy. It’d be much appreciated.
