MS may affect your body, but it does not define who you are.
You are more than symptoms, diagnoses, or limitations.
Your value remains whole. π

The grandkids get sick and 9 times out of 10 they are still full speed ahead. I get a scratchy throat with a stuffy nose and I feel like Iβm down for the count. #LifeWithMS
We live in a world where modern conveniences are everywhere. We have all kinds of things that can work for us and even think for us without having to lift a hand. However, there are still so few things/places that are truly handicap accessible. #LifeWithMS

A mid-run selfie. Iβm wearing a running hat, glasses, black top. My face is bright red but Iβm smiling. The sun is in my face. Iβm holding the running buggy which has its cover up. Iβm on a path with trees either side.
Iβm in love with my buggy run commuteβ¦itβs ~4k and I get to share this with my wee one. We always hope for a high dog turn out #ThisMumRuns #MSRunner #LifeWithMS
Funny how after years of being in a wheelchair, I still walk in my dreams. #LifeWithMS
Most of my supplements come from one company. Thereβs another one I use too. I used to mock people who used supplementsβ¦.until I got officially diagnosed. #lifewithMS
Felt good this morning and attempted a day of errands. Went to Costco, IKEA, and Cdn Tire today. I've used all my spoons. I'll probably be in bed for days. #lifewithMS
My watch didn't even track all my steps because I was relying on the cart to keep me on my feet.

If you canβt get out of bed to slip on the floor, you are finally afforded the right to wear socks. Some silver linings are also fluffy. #LifeWithMS
Sometimes hearing, βcome on, Minnie, you can do it!β is just the encouragement I need from my grandchild to transfer to/from my wheelchair. The enthusiastic βYay! I knew you could do it. Good job!β is just icing on the cake. #lifewithMS #grandkids

https: Iβm having trouble putting food in my mouth. I ate my last cheeseburger sideways.
But I did stand up yesterday, so everythingβs not completely terrible. My wife has done hours of myofascial release on my legs. 10/10 would recommend. #lifewithms #multiplesclerosis
None of me can move. This is a terrible Christmas gift. #lifewithms #multilesclerosis
MS is like a terrible roommate. Itβs loud, messy, and never pays rent. 0/10 do not recommend. #MultipleSclerosis #LifeWithMS
Todayβs achievement: I remembered what I walked into the kitchen forβ¦ after only three trips! #MS #LifeWithMS #FightMS
