Feeling intimidated or lost at the doctor's office? Check out this Thursday's Ask an MS Expert: "How to Talk to your Healthcare Provider"

When I was dxed in my early-20s I was clueless and dumbfounded about all the things happening to me, and most of my doctors then were no help. I had years of difficult learning ahead, but this week's Ask an MS Expert can give you shortcuts to becoming an empowered patient in a productive medical partnership with your health care pros.

The program is on 2/26/26 at 12-12:30 p.m. ET. It originally aired 1/11/24.

Homemade chili for when it's chilly.
As I'm chopping veggies and preparing this food, I think back to my own childhood. I was born to a runaway teen mom with a drug addiction, and then raised by her mother. My grandmother had already been a widow for many years which meant less money, so there were many times when I didn't eat at all. This created a weird relationship with food that I'm still trying to fix. I guess my point is, I'm happy to be able to feed my own children. That is all. Take care of yourselves today and always ❤️

Refilling my water bottle this morning and thinking about what a simple act of self-care this is. I often overlook my own needs, so I'm working on being more aware.
Have you had any water today?
Have you taken your medication(s)?
Have you eaten something?
Just a gentle reminder to take care of yourself out there 🫶🏻

What is your passion, your pursuits/hobbies that help you continue to thrive? For Jaimen Hudson of western Australia, it's drone photography.

Made quadriplegic after a motorbike accident, Jaimen's family encouraged him to try the drone that he was thinking about. At the nearby seacoast, he began capturing photos and videos of jumping, playing dolphins, and whales with their calves. Now he works with Netflix and PBS.
