Treatment works. Kick MS to the curb and take back control of your life.

Kesimpta is just one of the disease-modifying treatments that the MS Society recommends we consider and use as early as possible to control #MultipleSclerosis.

Find the MS specialist you trust, put your heads together and get back in the driver's seat where you belong — 'cause nobody's the boss of me! ;)

Jump into aquatic therapy — the water's fine.

When I swam with MS, I got so much energy! Plus muscle relief, slept like a log, and felt so much freedom in the water. (Then there was my poor scooter parked poolside, looking all forlorn with separation anxiety.)

The MSAA's Swim for MS website has all kinds of info on the ways swimming can benefit you. aquatics.mymsaa.org

This is not just for caregivers, but for those with chronic illness or anybody who need0 support.

"It's not about fixing them. It's about being with them, even if it's hard."

It's been Berry Hot — I've used this fave cooldown trick a couple times already

Keep frozen berries in your freezer. You can use the bag as a cooling pillow — but it's better to roll them around in your mouth!
