Put your voice out there for your well-being & others' — Become an MS Activist

I feel good after I write one of my reps. It was empowering rather than being passive and stewing over things.

Has anybody else interacted with their representatives? I'd love to hear your stories.

“Don’t be afraid and never give up. Never underestimate the difference you can make.” - Christopher Reeve

Keep being mighty — for yourself and for others. This weekend would have been Reeve's been 73rd birthday.

Sorry I haven't been around this week, buds: lots of work lately and limited energy.

How do you balance caring for yourself and caregiving?

Being a caregiver can be both rewarding and challenging — it means showing up with love, patience, and resilience, often while also trying to balance your own needs alongside someone else’s. Many Mighty caregivers have shared that it can be tough to carve out time for self-care while managing the daily tasks and responsibilities of caregiving.

Even if it’s just for a moment, what are some ways you care for yourself today? How do you find balance between self-care and caregiving?

Sending love and extra energy your way! 🌱💌

We Are in the World Is Sylvia Longmire? Wheeling around the world

Sylvia Longmire uses a wheelchair due to #MultipleSclerosis, and tirelessly travels around the globe, showing us wonderful places to go and how best to do so.

She's an author and former Defense Department analyst. But she is best known for spinning around the world to famous international destinations or to a charming small town not far away from you — always with recommendations for a good bite to eat, an interesting place to see (she's an art-museum docent herself), and are those "accessible" accommodations really is useful as advertised?

"I’ve also learned that change is inevitable. Even when I’m having a really bad flare or feeling weighed down by depression, I remind myself that

it isn’t permanent and it will eventually pass."

"Above all, I’ve realized it’s important to be kind to yourself and give yourself grace to handle the challenges you face." — Nicole Pedra, 37, diagnosed with #MultipleSclerosis at age 10

Captured the last of the sun shining through my mango and plumeria trees yesterday. Thought this looked kind of interesting. In all honesty, I'm experiencing a bit of burnout. Working in #Caregiving and maintaining a household/family/relationship when you struggle with high #Anxiety #Depression and the effects of #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder can be really difficult. Focusing on the small moments right now. How are you doing out there?

MS and caregiver fact of life: Unsolicited comments & advice, "You're not doing it right"

Sometimes it comes from someone I have no idea who they are, but it hits me just right (or wrong). #@$%!

Has this ever happened to you? How do you deal with stuff like this?

It's that tiredness that makes you fall asleep early, and sleep in late, and when you wake up, you're still tired.

You're not just tired — you're MS tired.

How many nappers do we have here?

How many extra coffee drinkers?

What tips can you share with the community to help with fatigue?

Yawn, that was hard. Bye.
