Online Survey: Lend Your Voice

The Baylor College of Medicine Maxine Mesinger MS Clinic is conducting a research study gathering the opinions of individuals living with MS. The study is being conducted to improve MS care, patient health, and quality of life by individuals providing their opinions on their own MS care. After an initial virtual 15-20 minutes to consent and complete baseline surveys, you will be electronically alerted for completion of a 5- to 10-minute survey every 3 months. Participation is 100% virtual. If you are interested, please email Tahari at tgriffin@bcm.edu with your name, address, gender, birthdate and current age, ethnicity/race, & telephone number.

I’m new here!

Hi, my name is SarahHasson. I'm here because I just got another denial from disability and they are so rude and hurtful saying none of the testimonies match my medical records. I also have only one person that kind of understands and we don't talk much. I tried to find support for years but it just made things worse.

Life is tough

Most of us spend our lives trying to avoid difficult things. We put off exercising because it's uncomfortable. We avoid difficult conversations because they're awkward. We neglect our mental health because sitting with our thoughts can feel overwhelming.

The problem is that avoiding those things doesn't make life easier. It usually replaces one challenge with another, and that challenge is often much harder.

The discomfort of exercise can become poor health. The discomfort of looking after your mental health can become years of unnecessary suffering. The discomfort of one honest conversation can become a relationship that slowly falls apart.

Life isn't about finding the easy path. It's about choosing the difficulties that build a better future instead of the ones that slowly make life harder.

What difficult thing have you been putting off that you know would improve your life if you finally faced it?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts. So if you or anyone you know is struggling and wants help, click on one of the links below or write me if you have any questions you want me to answer:

Hello everyone. It's been a while since I've posted here. My therapist is concerned about my withdrawal and lack of socialization recently. It's not that I don't care (I care deeply), it just feels safer being alone sometimes. But here I am, ready to burst my own safety bubble again. I hope you're doing ok out there, wherever you are 💙

My grandpa used a wheelchair in the 1970s due to post-polio, and nothing in public was accessible to him. I use a wheelchair today due to MS, and

I can get into most places, and Zoom when I'm at home. The difference is the ADA.

The Americans With Disabilities Act was signed 36 years ago, and it's a reason July is Disability Pride Month.

It's a fact: Disability affects us all at some point in our lives — through age, disease, accident or because it affects a loved one.

What affects people with disabilities, affects us all. What helps people with disabilities, helps us all. Be an ally, be an advocate.
