One good thing is we've got UFOs and aliens on the case vs. MS too. So that's cool.

For the first half of my life, I mowed others' lawns bc it felt good to help out. Now others mow our lawn for us, and inside it kinda drives me nuts!
Accepting help with grace is so difficult, but it's an important lesson we all must learn eventually. tinyurl.com/5fk424dj
Do you accept help from neighbors? Have insights to share? #MultipleSclerosis #Caregiving #ChronicIllness #Disability

"There's a certain amount of frustration that builds when … the world is passing you by,
and the beautiful days are there and you're not able to experience it because the heat does play such a major role with MS." So Cathy ordered a free cooling vest from #MultipleSclerosis Assn. of America.
"She's much, much more active since she's gotten this vest," says her walking friend Coline. "It's a new woman."
An excellent, long-running program. Visit #MultipleSclerosis Association of America mymsaa.org or 800-532-7667.

Spent #Caregiver #wife #chronic
I’m all used up. I feel like chronic exhaustion is very bad for my emotional health but I can’t afford to stop. I’m bitchy and resentful reading about ppl going on vacation and I’m working myself to an inch of my life. No one appreciates me. My husband yells if I spend to much at Walmart- wait till he finds out what real women are like

We are 3 million strong. We are diverse and worldwide. Every year, we have broader supports, better treatments, closer to a vaccine, closer to a cure.
Today is World MS Day. If you are living with #MultipleSclerosis or are an MS #caregiver, family member, friend or ally, it would be great to hear from you here.
