This has almost nothing to do with my body but it has everything to do with my spirit and awareness of self ...I have been considerably selfish which paid off in abundance for all the company I keep I’m blessed with the best support system ... u keep me strong keep me grounded and keep me motivated to be the best me #mswarrior #multiplesclerosisawareness #msawarness #multiplesclerosis #multiplesclerosisfighter #mytinyspottedmind #rrms #whatatimetobealive#myhealthismywealth (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BswhCyPlbyI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z5sgfdltrhoy
Sending Spoons 💜🥄✨🥄💜 Repost: @cute_but_evil7882 What you see: My right hand. Not swept "damaged" in any other way What you don't see: Nerve pain, constant tingling, decreased sensation in my thumb and index finger, difficulty with dexterity and pain shooying up the arm from the hand. This is just my example of this stupid #invisibledisease What makes this worse is that there is no way to prove that I'm having these symptoms so if someone doesn't believe me there isn't much I can do to change their mind. Whether or not people believe me, I know what I'm feeling and I know I'm not the only one. #spoonielivingapp #spoonie #MS #MSSURVIVOR #MSfighter #MSfamily #chronicillness #multiplesclerosis #MSAWARNESS
I will continue to share no matter what anyone says or thinks. It’s about helping our brothers and sisters in the fight not just Self. #nicolecherise #mswarrior #msawarness
I meant to post this yesterday. For those of you not adept at all the months and what they honor: March is MS Awareness month (among other things I'm sure). Up until 15 years ago I had no idea what this disease was, and even when I first learned of it, I didn't know what it would mean for mom or for our family. I thought life would continue normally just with a little extra effort, all those little innocuous life moments might just be skewed, but there are things I've realized will not happen. Perhaps it's too pessimistic not believing miracles will come, but we've already had so many in the midst of this, who am I to ask for the big one? The thing is when you have a disease that works inside out, for a long time there are no signs and all you hear are, "but she looks great", then as time rolls and the white blood cells ravage the myelin on the nerves, you get the more forceful, "she looks great! I bet she still has a whip of a tongue". Still it takes more, and you watch this invisible force slowly deplete your mom. She's still there, but I miss more of her still. My dad in his steadfastness manages through it day in and day out, showing patience and truth to what love looks like in action. I am so grateful. They believe in me, missing me, but wanting me to follow where God has led me. I don't talk about this a lot (in fact sometimes it's easier to write out my thoughts in a nice coherent social media post than to babble to someone who asks "how are you doing" or "how's your mom"). I wish I could tell you she was doing well, but then I guess doing well is relative. . #ms #msawarness #multiplesclerosis
So I’m gonna wind down #MSAwarness Week and continue #MSawarnessMonth with this though: #MS hasn’t impacted my life positively at all. nope. not at all. There is positive in my life, Since my diagnosis I’ve learned the value of the little things, I’ve appreciate the people who have stuck by me so very much. But all this? it is despite MS not because of MS. This illness sucks through and through and I refuse to give it a pat on the back.
Positivity does not require me to congratulate my abuser.. And in this case, this illness is an abuser living inside me. My survival, any new found perspective, the growing gratitude and love for the incredible people in my life... thats ME and THEM... NOT MS.
I will tell you what I’ve learned since diagnosis and while struggling with MS... but I reject the idea that I must say something positive has come “out of Multiple Sclerosis. cause nope, it hasn’t.
It may just seem like phrasing to some.. but that internal dialogue is what changes the way you see everything in your life and dictates who or what gets the power. MS? I give you none willingly. I’m at war with you, and I will be forever. Anything good I find along the way is no thanks to you. Suck it. :D
ETA: I want to be clear that I'm not anti positive attitude. I believe we should try to be positive about our future, see the good, and count the many blessings we have been made more aware of since diagnosis. But I fear that sometimes, especially when it comes to a chronic disease that progresses for a lifetime, we instill a fear or shame in those that need to express their struggles & frustrations as well. There's no time limit to this struggle and a lifetime of suppressing sadness, hardship, fears, and pain will not lead to a positive outcome. #MSAwarenessWeek
