The MS Word

We need to change the name of these shorts because MS is like Chuck Norris: you don’t request MS, MS requests you.

I just feel so darn sleepy. At least this filter covers my bags.

Saw that people were wearing orange to bring awareness to gun violence. I was never a fan of orange as the MS color anyway so I propose we change it to a more appropriate color: Tiffany Blue. Because like shopping at Tiffany & Co., having MS is freaking expensive. And this color looks way better on me than orange.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

I love that blog!!!

Thanks for the reminder, Ed.

said no one with MS ever.

The truth about MS is that this stupid disease is stupid in different ways for each person that has it. The truth about MS is that it's like Whack-A-Mole--- every time you think you understand it, something else pops up. Unlike Whack-A-Mole, there is no satisfaction of hitting something or winning prizes. The truth about MS is that there are bad days. And good days. And bad days intertwined with good. But you really appreciate the good days because you don't know when the bad ones are coming. The truth about MS is that it comes with profound sadness. I can post a million funny anecdotes about having the disease but there is always this sadness lurking behind the words. It's sad to have a disease. It's sad to have a body that fails you. The truth about MS is that it changes your life. Find supportive people. Meditate. Breathe. Hug an animal. Do nice things for yourself. Read. Live presently. Sing karaoke. Play laser tag. Okay, the last two are for me. The truth about MS is that it sucks but I try every day to be okay even though things aren't.

Yours in MS, Maggie

Thank you. For realsies.

This statement is really true but if you have MS, it probably sucks for you, too. Poo.
