Picture this: You wake up after a full night's sleep, expecting to feel at least semi-functional, only to realize that your body has staged a mutiny. Your energy? Gone. Vanished. Stolen like a car in a shady parking lot. MS didn't just pick...

Happy Friday! We often talk about the challenges and tough days that come with living with MS, but there's also a lighter side to life that deserves some spotlight. We all have those moments that are so bizarre, unexpected, or just plain fu...

Living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is like playing a game where the rules keep changing, and no one bothered to tell you the objective. It's unpredictable, expensive, and exhausting—but hey, at least it keeps life interesting, right?Before...

Starting a disease-modifying therapy (DMT) is one of the toughest decisions we face after being diagnosed with MS. Let's be real—it's not like we knew what MS was before getting the diagnosis, let alone had a clue about the drug options! An...

Let's talk about MRIs—the loud, claustrophobic rite of passage every MS patient knows all too well. Sure, they're necessary, but that doesn't make them any less absurd. So, grab your grippy socks (we'll get to those later), and let's dive i...

Ah, MS flare-ups—the delightful surprise party your body throws without warning or consent. Except instead of balloons and cake, you get random spasms, unbearable fatigue, and the joy of canceling plans yet again. Let's unpack the chaos of ...

Let's face it: the term "self-care" has been hijacked by Instagram influencers who think a $50 bath bomb is the cure for all your problems. If it could fix chronic illness, we'd all be soaking 24/7. But for those of us with MS, "self-care" ...

Let's face it—saying no can feel awkward, especially when you're met with a blank stare or a guilt trip that could win an Oscar. Add living with MS to the equation, and suddenly, saying no comes with a side order of unsolicited advice, judg...

Living with MS is hard enough without feeling dismissed or undermined by the person who's supposed to help you manage it. Unfortunately, not all neurologists are created equal, and some might leave you wondering, "Am I being gaslit, or is t...
