Unless you have or care for a person with #MultipleSclerosis, it's hard to explain how it feels. It's more than just walking; it causes pain, anger, depression, fear, and new issues daily.

MS is highly prevalent in people in the #PNW so even if you don’t think you know anyone with MS, you probably do. #MSAwareness #MultipleSclerosis #FuckMS

Today I get to talk to my neurologist about my MRI results, get whatever labs they assign and assess my current treatment. With two new lesions showing in my #MRI I have no idea what to expect.

This month marks nine years from the bout of optic neuritis that led to diagnosis. There is no cure for MS and every day of living with it is different. I’m lucky in that I currently go long periods of time without relapses. Not everyone is so lucky. And there’s no guarantee that my luck will hold.

March is #MultipleSclerosis Awareness Month and boy am I aware right now. How many doctor’s office fish tanks have I sat in front of throughout my life?
MS is a neurological condition where your own immune system attacks the myelin sheaths that protect your nerves. It can manifest for folks in any number of ways. For me, it has presented itself as optic neuritis, vertigo that lasts for weeks on end, intense numbness and tingling and pain from my rib cage down and more. #MSAwareness #FuckMS 1/4
“Slurred speech, tingling face? OMG, are you having a stroke!?”
No, I have multiple sclerosis. This is my normal. #MSawareness
