    Remember what it was like before the whole world t Remember what it was like before the whole world turned upside-down?!⁣ ⁣ ME TOO. Both that time 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 changed (hello, MS), and then, of course, the covid pandemic.⁣ ⁣ Man, I miss hugs. And human interaction within 6 feet. 🤗⁣ ⁣ I do think that as chronic illness patients we are among the most adaptable community on the planet...because we simply don't have a choice.⁣ ⁣ As many states are re-opening and loosening restrictions, I hope that the 'healthy' people will continue to think of us. To schedule facetime meetings. To check-in. To wave from a safe distance. Because we are #highriskcovid19, and for many of us, our world still looks like #selfquarantine mode for the foreseeable future.⁣ ⁣ I have my Ocrevus infusion tomorrow, first since the pandemic started, so I'll do my best to update you guys as to what it's like to be in the hospital now. ⁣ ⁣ 🧡For real though, how are you holding up? Sending you all love and social distance hugs. ⁣ ⁣ #thisisms #multiplesclerosis #mswarrior #dystonia #butyoudontlooksick #ocrevus #highrisk #immunecompromised #throwbackphoto #happymemories #bostonblogger #bostonbusinesswomen #msactivisit #msadvocate #activist #spoonie #spoonielife #selfquarantinelife #quarantinelife #throwbackthursday⁣ #invisibleillness #autoimmune #dystonia #bostonhappyplace #findjoy #wearethevulnerable 🧡
    (Image by @fulcandles) ❤️I’m often asked wha (Image by @fulcandles) ❤️I’m often asked what drove me to advocacy. Well, I have a lot of reasons, but today I’m going to quote my inspiring friend @thesparkledlife. 𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 after my MS diagnosis and I know she’s done that for many of you as well. ✨⁣ ⁣ As she said on her blog, “ I'm sharing and advocating for all my fellow chronic illness and disabled friends. 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲. ⁣ ⁣ It's not just about accessible ramps and parking spaces (though very important). It's about the simple process of treating all people with dignity. It's about putting a face to a disease, to a number, to a statistic. It's about sharing the pulse points of the community - what we'd really like to see and have. It's just asking others to see us.” ⁣ ⁣ Couldn’t have said it better myself. 🧡 Love you @thesparkledlife! ⁣ ⁣ Why do you share your story?⁣ ⁣ #thisisms #fulcandles #repost #wordsofwisdom #mscactivist #msadvocate #advocate #spoonie #spoonielife #inspirational #gratefulaf #hope #holdontohope ⁣ #wisewords #wordstoliveby #invisibleillness #chronicillness #chronicfatigue #chronicpain #butyoudontlooksick #sicknotugly #spooniecommunity #multiplesclerosis #iwontgiveup #bethechange #findhope #findjoy #bostonblogger

    💕When you fill your mind with positive thoughts 💕When you fill your mind with positive thoughts your life will start to change. Do you agree? I’m not naive, I know that thinking positive won’t cure my MS or magically fix anything. But you know what? Re-framing my thoughts, especially how I talk to myself, has made a positive impact in my life and my attitude. Crazy how that works, huh?! Even on my toughest days/moments, I think of something that makes me smile and life seems a little bit better 🥰

I’ve always been pretty body positive, and I’ve worked hard to change my mindset around food in the past five years, but I still needed this reminder so I thought you might too. And now I want a donut, dammit 🤣🍩

I have a routine. A planner. I’m used to this, right?⁣ ⁣ My good friend @heartofpeacellc reminded me that we are ALL in the midst of experiencing trauma because of this pandemic. And you can’t heal from trauma while you’re IN it.⁣ ⁣ 🤯🤯🤯⁣ ⁣ Well, I guess now my lack of focus makes more sense. And yes, I am using my coping skills to get through it all the best I can, but next time I feel frustrated with how long it’s taking me to complete a task, I’m gonna go ahead and give myself a break.⁣ ⁣ How are you managing right now?

    I think the upside of wearing a mask on my walks w I think the upside of wearing a mask on my walks with Dixie is that you can't tell I'm totally making a 'fuck I'm in a lot of pain' face here 🤷‍♀️⁣ ⁣ I live in chronic pain (yes, that means I'm always in some level of pain)... partly because I was in a car accident and have a bad back and partly because of my MS and related Dystonia spasms.⁣ ⁣ Anyway, some days, I can still walk Dixie and function despite the pain. It seems like those days are fewer and farther between lately (I 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 miss my massage therapist), but when I can do it, I enjoy going for walks despite the pain. ⁣ ⁣ Why?

    Today my Grandpa would have been 99 years young. W Today my Grandpa would have been 99 years young. We just lost him a few weeks ago, and I miss him more than I have words for. Grandpa always raised his glass and cheered to “Happy Days”, no matter the occasion. Truthfully, I wish I had asked him why, but it makes perfect sense. He always had a positive outlook, found joy in the little things, and any day with family and/or beefeater was a happy day 😂🍸. Tonight, we raise a glass to happy days in his memory. While I desperately wish my family could be together physically right now, I find so much comfort in these happy memories ❤️. . #happydays #happymemories #throwbackthursday #throwbackphoto #99yearsyoung #missmyfamily #highriskcovid19 #thisisms #grieving #grievinginquarantine #selfquarantine #stayhomestaysafe #lovemyfamily #gratefulheart❤️ #goodmemories❤️ #cheers🍸

Too often, I don't even notice the beauty around me. This was a much-needed reminder of how beautiful our world is, even during a pandemic. When's the last time you admired the beauty around you? #thisisms #highriskcovid19 #selfquarantine #mswarrior #chronicallyill #spoonie #invisibleillness #chronicpain #mindsetmatters #ichoosebeauty #findjoy #beautifulsky #myneighborhood #beautifulnature #newenglandliving #mindfulliving #meditation #findbeauty #bealight #wordsofwisdom #wordstoliveby #bostonblogger #mindful #truthbetold
