    Jenna (she/her) 🧡MS Advocate
    Today is “The International Day of People with D Today is “The International Day of People with Disabilities” and it’s theme is “not all disabilities are visible”. Well, that’s perfect for me since that’s a big part of why I share and my advocacy work (thanks to whoever decides these things for making a day just for me 🤣🤣🤣). Seriously though, chronic illness and disability is hard enough without the judgement we put on ourselves and get from others. One of my favorite quotes has always been “Always be a little kinder than necessary” —James M. Barrie ❤️Can you imagine what the world would be like if we could all commit to extra kindness? #idpd #idpd2020 #internationaldisabilityday

    My tattoo (it's fake, don't worry Mom) reads:⁣ ⁣ I love & appreciate my body⁣ ⁣ Damn. Do I though?! It's hard AF to love and appreciate your body in today's society in general, let alone when your body is attacking you from the inside. Or when you feel like chronic illness has changed you/your body permanently. 🤷‍♀️⁣ ⁣ I can't say that I feel love and appreciation for my body every moment of every day, but I can say that through really doing the work and learning WHY I didn't love and appreciate my body (really, I didn't love and appreciate it before MS either) helped me a lot.❤ I have a great therapist and I have been listening to some great podcasts/books/meditations as well. ⁣ ⁣ For me, it's definitely a practice to learn to love and accept my body, but it's the only one I'm gonna get, so I think it's a worthwhile project! ✨⁣ ⁣ What has helped you on your mission to self love and acceptance? ⁣ ⁣ #selflove #loveyourself #tuesdaythoughts #wordstoliveby #loveandacceptance #acceptyourself #loveyourselffirst #selfgrowth #personalgrowth #mindsetmatters #mindset #mindfulliving #thisisms #ocrevus #chronicillness #spoonie #spoonielife #mantra #consciousink #disabled

Yeah, that unkind thought has crossed my mind. And then I gently remind myself that I have a lot of other priorities, those boxes aren't a big deal, and for fucks sake, it's a global pandemic 😂🤷‍♀️⁣ ⁣ We are all struggling, friends. Please know that you aren't alone.

    Today marks 5 days before my next Ocrevus infusion Today marks 5 days before my next Ocrevus infusion, so I've started prednisone orally to help my body chill out before the big day 😂🤷‍♀️⁣ ⁣ Why do I have so many reactions to meds? Who knows! No, the prednisone prep isn't 'standard', but hey, neither am I🦄.⁣ ⁣ It's probably just a placebo effect today but I'm already starving 😆 After many rounds of steroids I've figured out how to make it more manageable for me. ⁣ ⁣ Step 1: Always have healthy and ready to eat food and snacks on hand. Otherwise, I'll eat junk and feel worse! Thankfully these tacos from @cookunity are delicious and filling.⁣ ⁣ Step 2: Drink extra water (which we know is extra hard 🚽)⁣ ⁣ Step 3: Wind down before bed (meditation, journaling, bath, etc.) earlier than usual in hopes I can still sleep 🤞⁣ ⁣ And of course, warn my family and friends about possible mood swings 🤪What helps you cope through a round of steroids?⁣ ⁣ PS.

On a scale of grinch to buddy the elf, I’m usually buddy level 😂🤶🏼 I can’t say I’ve been feeling very festive this year, although I am very thankful for many things. I’m not usually a “fake it till ya make it” kind of girl, but considering how crappy 2020 is, I am determined to feel festive this holiday season. Stay tuned for ridiculous holiday decorations and possibly matching outfits for Dixie and I 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

    An important reminder to keep checking in on yours An important reminder to keep checking in on yourself this weekend and over the holiday week, especially! 🍗⁣ ⁣ Whether you’re staying safe at home or gathering with immediate family, I know you’re going to likely doubt your decisions... and possibly wish you were somewhere else or having a big gathering like you may see others doing on social media. ⁣ ⁣ Personally, I’m anxious just to have an immediate family gathering with the few people in my “bubble”, but I also hate the idea of not seeing them at all. Ironic considering the many gatherings I WANTED to skip over the years but felt too guilty to do so 😂🤷🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Whatever you decide to do, as always please be safe, please remember to keep checking in with yourself. Check in to see how you’re feeling mentally and physically and try to stay grounded and away from FOMO 😷🥰⁣ ⁣ What else keep you present and fomo (fear of missing out) free?⁣ ⁣ #thisisms #highriskcovid19 #maskup #maskon #selfcare #selfcarematters #putyourselffirst #saferyfirst #checkinwithyourself #socialstrategysquad #fomo #spoonielife #chronicallyill #grateful #selfcareisntselfish #mentalhealthmatters #bostonbusinesswomen⁣ #wordsofwisdom #wordstoliveby
