If you could sit down with your younger self for five minutes, what would you tell them?

It doesn’t have to be about MS. It could be about relationships, friendships, confidence, work, or learning to give yourself a little more grace. I’m curious about the lessons life has taught everyone here. 💙

I just got put on Zeposia and amantadine. Amantadine is supposed to help with fatigue, brain fog, tremors and muscle spasticity. It’s also prescribed for Parkinson’s and for ulcerative colitis. Anybody have any thoughts or experiences with either of these medication’s?

Small Scar. Questionable Backstory. 😂

Had my little facial surgery yesterday. The doctor said, “There’ll be a small scar on your cheek.” I said, “Don’t worry about that. I’m telling everyone I got it in a knife fight with a hooker in Vietnam.” 😂 The doctor and both nurses absolutely buckled. Said it was the best answer they’d ever ha...
