    It didn’t go as planned. My week. My year. My l It didn’t go as planned. My week. My year. My life. And yet, it’s still OK (and often beautiful)❤️ I haven’t been quiet this week because I was taking much deserved break, but because I was at @bethisraellaheyhealth fighting an awful uti that turned into a sepsis infection that spread to my liver and kidneys 🤒😷. Thankfully, I’m home now and Callie is either a great nurse and/or a teething baby shark with legs 🐶😂 I will definitely be taking it easy over the next week. I am SO grateful to my wonderful nurses for taking good care of me (despite the fact that they are clearly worn out AF and Covid is everywhere so they’re understaffed and patients are overflowing). And yes, I missed my Ocrevus infusion (supposed to be 11/22 and then 12/28) AGAIN. And no, I don’t know wtf to do now about it but they did talk to my neuro while I was in patients and I’ll talk to him next week. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyway, I hope you’ve all been safe, baseline healthy, and happy this week. I’m super grateful for this community (so ready for this year to end) and super hopeful for 2021 ❤️❤️❤️
    we fall. we break. we fail. but then, we rise. we we fall. we break. we fail. but then, we rise. we heal. we overcome. ✨ If this year taught me anything, it’s to remember that you’ll be ok, because you have risen up before and you will again 🙌🏻 What did 2021 teach you? #repost @mantraband
    Are you feeling festive this holiday season? 🎄🕯 Full confession: I haven’t been my usually spirited self, despite the puppy joy and love I’ve been receiving the last week from Callie 🐶 But thanks to a get @chroniconofficial event this week with @nina.pure.minds, I realized that it’s ok and I’m not alone. ❤️ Yet @melissatroisi and family never cease to make me feel joyful, no matter the season!!!🎅Here’s our big family photo (yes they even included Callie) from this year and a throwback from 2018. How are you handling the holidays this year?
    I’m proud of YOU for everything you are and the I’m proud of YOU for everything you are and the person you continue to become. ✨ And I hope you’re proud of yourself too ❤️ #repost @mirrorsreflectyou
    Yes, you can make your voice heard without leaving Yes, you can make your voice heard without leaving your couch or your snuggle puppy! Click the link in my bio and show your support for the Build Better Act via the @mssociety 🤳🏻 The U.S. Senate is finalizing negotiations on the Build Back Better Act (H.R. 5376). With your help, the Build Back Better Act passed the U.S. House of Representatives in November and now is your opportunity to let your Senators know how this bill will benefit you. This bill incorporates much of President Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda and there are many components of the package that will positively impact people living with and affected by MS, and millions of other diseases and disabilities. I believe the following provisions are critically important for people affected by MS to live their best lives: 🧡Expanding healthcare coverage and making coverage options more affordable 🧡Strengthening home and community-based services 🧡Addressing the high cost of prescription drugs 🧡Ensuring paid family and medical leave And yes, I am shamelessly using Callie for attention, but if it works, it works, right?! 🤷🏻‍♀️🙌🏻
    Friends, meet Callie 🐶❤️ She’s a four mo Friends, meet Callie 🐶❤️ She’s a four month old hound mix rescued from @socialteesnyc (and she had an amazing foster mom thank you @madelinerigoni ) ❤️She’s an absolute love! Very playful, sweet, and smart too. She has lots of her own personality and lots of love to give (just like my Dixie girl did). We have lots of fun adventures I had together including training, walking, and napping 😂🐾

That’s why @letsdivethru was created 🙌🏻 Join me on the @diversability Instagram page live this Friday 12/10 at 4pm EST as I discuss mental well-being, practicing gratitude and more with @thecognitivecorner Simone Saunders one of the professionals on @letsdivethru She’s a Master’s level social worker and one of the amazing professionals creating easy to digest and implement content on the @letsdivethru free app (link in bio to download it).📱 I love all of the content on the @letsdivethru app, especially Simone’s course on how practicing gratitude can improve our mental health. It can be SO hard to feel grateful when living with an invisible illness or disability, right?! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ But as Simone will share, practicing gratitude actually does have countless health benefits. ☀️ If you have any specific questions for Simone, please share them below, and join us 12/10 at 4pm EST 🎉🎉🎉

    What has helped you the most since you’re multi What has helped you the most since you’re multiple sclerosis diagnosis? As I reflect on the passed 6 years since I was diagnosed, I realized that the support and friendships from this amazing community have been key to helping live my best life with MS 🧡 Whether you’re newly diagnosed or feeling lonely as the rest of the world returns to doing more activities, you’re NOT alone. Having a group of people who understand and support you is critical, which is why I recommend @esupporthealth. It’s a fantastic resource with professionally moderated virtual support groups specifically for people with MS! 🙌🏻 It’s an uplifting and safe space, where you can connect with others who get what it’s like to live with this disease. Don’t go through life with MS alone, register now for a free open house every Tuesday at 12pm EST through the end of the year. Click the link in my bio to register today!🧡
    This hit different today after my virtual divorce This hit different today after my virtual divorce court proceeding. It’s bittersweet but time to let go of what could have been. 🙌🏻 What “coulda been” are you letting go of? ❤️ There are times in life when letting go or giving up is not a failure. There are many times in life where you try something and see huge potential for it, but it’s just not working for you and it’s time to walk away. That may be a business choice, a relationship choice, or something else entirely. 🚶‍♀️If it’s causing you too much stress that cannot be overcome, it’s time to leave it and move on. ✨ #Repost @mirrorsreflectyou with @make_repost ・・・ I think out of everyone you owe it to yourself to let go. It’s been heavy on your own heart for quite some time now and it isn’t helping you to keep it that way. Things are out of your control and it’s not your fault.
    The holidays don’t feel quite as bright without The holidays don’t feel quite as bright without these two lights of my life physically with us any longer 🐶👴🏻 I am grateful to be able to celebrate Hanukkah (and Christmas, we do both) with my immediate family but damn, I don’t feel very festive this year. 😢 I do limit my time, wear a mask, and a face shield, because my niece is too young to be vaccinated 😷 #highrisklife If you’re not in the holiday spirit, I want you to know that you’re not alone. ❤️ And if you celebrate Hanukkah, I’m wishing you peace, love, and joy ✨ #HappyMemories

I am dog sitting/housesitting for my fabulous friend @minessa.konecky and I am resting and reflecting on the intensity of the past year and a half in my personal life and in the world 🏠🌎 It’s been tumultuous to say the least, but I’ll be getting some closure after my divorce hearing next week and I’m proud of how far I’ve come ❤️ I’m also grateful beyond words for those who have supported me through all of the changes, breakdowns, loss, grief, and gloriously joyful times too ✨ #StrongFemaleCharacter
    🏨Health update: I should be at my twice a year 🏨Health update: I should be at my twice a year #Ocrevus infusion today (the first photo is from my last one in May)… but instead I’m here on my couch (second pic 😂). I’ve been fighting off an antibiotic resistant staph infection/abscesses for what feels like forever (Sept and then again this past month) but I finally got the right mix of antibiotics and it’s all healed 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 However, since I’m extra special and my body doesn’t like medication 🤦🏻‍♀️ I do have to take 5 days of prednisone oral steroids before each infusion to ensure I don’t have too many reactions, and I couldn’t do them last week while I finished my antibiotics. 💊 So long story short, I had to delay my infusion, which shouldn’t have any negative effects 🤞🏼, and I’m waiting to hear when they can fit me in later this month. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 💉Have you ever needed to delay your Ocrevus infusion? Did you feel any side effects? I’m also one week away from the Botox shots for my Dystonia spasms, so my pain and fatigue are high anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Fellow white humans, are you condoning white supre Fellow white humans, are you condoning white supremacy with your lack of action and attention?! Donate your time, your money, and/or your energy to create action or just admit that you’re part of the problem instead of feigning surprise that millions are being intentionally marginalized. 🤯 As Show Up for Racial Justice @surj_ri said “Fellow white people: we need you to recommit to organizing in your own communities today. Policing and the court system have once again failed Black people and enabled white supremacist violence. Without organizing in majority white communities, we should expect this kind of behavior and violence to continue and increase in light of this verdict. We need you in this fight.

Say it with me, friend: I am giving myself 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 through growth and discomfort.⁣ ⁣ Giving myself grace is something that I've struggled with for years, but I have made great progress on the practice of grace (not making excuses, but also allowing myself space/time etc.). ⁣🪴 ⁣ Life with chronic illness is especially hard, there is constant uncertainty, discomfort, full on pain, grief, and beautiful fantastic new opportunities for growth too. 🌼 We deserve to give ourselves thee grace we so easily allow the loved ones in our life, don't we?! ⁣ ⁣ This is a mantra/affirmation that I find manageable (and I repeat it often to remind myself!) so I hope you find it helpful too?? ❤️ [img description: Jenna, a white woman with shoulder length wavy hair smiles in front of a lake.

    Do you want to use your patient experience to make Do you want to use your patient experience to make a true positive impact?! Beyond excited and honored to announce that I’ve been award a @healthevoices Impact Fund Grant to create a free video course for Public Speaking for Patient Advocates 🎉🎉🎉 I’ve been doing a happy dance all week long, and I cannot wait to share more details with all of you. My goal is that this project will benefit the community by providing advocates and potential advocates with necessary speaking training, with the unique perspective of living with a chronic illness. This will help advocates become more effective public speakers in public policy, on social media, and even in their personal lives as well. Because of these positive changes, overall health and illness awareness will increase and more public policies will change for the greater good 🙌🏻 How do you feel about public speaking? 😬 Most people would rather swim with sharks, 🦈but I promise you I will be sharing techniques and tips that will make the experience FAR more pleasant! Follow and stay tuned for updates, behind the scenes (and of course bloopers!). Thank you @healthevoices for this amazing opportunity #healthevoicesimpactfund 🎉🎉🎉
