Itās #MsAwarenessMonth + #MsMonday! Time to get to sharing, educating, and spreading awareness! Flood the comments with š§”š§”š§” to let the world know weāre ready for it! šŖš¼
This will be my 5th MS Awareness month Iāve participated in and every year amazes me with how supportive of a community we have! The saying āweāre stronger togetherā is absolutely true.
I can confidently say that MS wasnāt on ANY of our bingo cards, but here we are.. a bunch of badass warriors committed to making the most out of it!
All month Iāll be sharing my story, MS facts, answering your questions, all while spreading a ton of awareness! šš¼ I gently encourage you to do the same!
Remember, one more person informed is one less person completely unaware and that makes a huge difference! š§”
Make sure to tag a friend, share to spread awareness, and save this for yourself!

Backstory:: last year we learned my MS had relapsed. There were new lesions, activity, inflammation, progression⦠it was scary. I ended up switching medication + Iāve been on that treatment for a year now. This was my first stable MRI since the relapse š I was a nervous wreck waiting for these results + now that I have them, I keep re-reading them!
š§ no new lesions
ā”ļø no active demyelination
The biggest (and coolest) surprise?
š¦ one of my largest lesions SHRUNK! From 15x8mm to 9x4mm. Other lesions shrunk as well! š God is GOOD! Weāve prayed prayed + prayed and worked hard for these results.
If youāre part of the MS club, you know the happy yet ~still overwhelming~ tears that fall, the wave of relief, with a splash of grief maybe even apathy that comes with the realization that test results are a built in part of living the chronically chill life. Yet, here we are, doing our best!
I truly believe my treatment is working in tandem with the changes Iāve made- my anti inflammatory lifestyle, how I move my body, the food I nourish myself with, how I manage stress, + the mindset work Iāve poured myself into.
Sharing this as proof that our efforts both big and small are never wasted. That stability is progress. And that healing is still possible, even when it looks different than we first imagined.
Hereās to shrinking fear, shrinking inflammation, and expanding hope ā¤ļøāš„
Update: itās finally here! Chronically Nourished ~ your blueprint to achieving an anti-inflammatory lifestyle as possible! Comment āguideā + Iāll send ya the link!
Tag/share with a friend who maybe could use some hope + save for yourself as a reminder it IS possible xx

If your doctor has never asked you to complete this hieroglyphs puzzle or walk as fast as you can down the office while being timed I donāt wanna hear it from you šāāļøāØ
If you can relate to this, I see you. Youāre not alone. It sucks that someone would rather speak badly than connect but thatās on THEM. Judging + gossiping about a life you 1) know nothing about 2) wouldnāt survive 10 minutes in 3) again are not in the same position⦠is just wild behavior. What happened to supporting on another? What happened to being kind, leading with compassion, not being a butthole? If thereās on thing Iāve learned itās that those types of people are NOT my people and thatās okay š¤ we gotta keep being the ch~ill~ goddesses we fckn ought to be š§āāļøāØ

"Displaying the quiet parts out loud š§” itās natural to talk about the more obvious realities of MS, but what about the quiet parts? The parts that we might not even notice are related to MS, like the mental toll, the brain fog, the guilt. I hope whoever is watching this feels seen and validated in some way, shape, or form.
Leave your quiet day-to-day MS struggles in the comments and letās connect with one another š«"
multiple sclerosis, chronic illness, spoonie, chronic illness awareness, MS
š£ļø just because we did a thing yesterday doesnāt mean we can do it again today. Living with chronic illness š¤ living in a body that changes without warning š„“ so your empathy and understanding is beyond appreciated!
