    One foot in my former lifeā€¦ one foot into someth One foot in my former lifeā€¦ one foot into something new āœØ Iā€™ve been off the grid more this past year, but Iā€™ve been committed to putting myself first. Iā€™ve been devoted to my own healing and growth emotionally, spiritually, and physically this last year. šŸ«¶ 2023 was also my physically healthiest year yet (coincidence, I think not!!) šŸŽ‰ I had so many wonderful experiences with amazing friends and family that there are far room many pictures to share. There were lots of difficult times too, but Iā€™m grateful to have been able to experience the full range of human emotions. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøThatā€™s life, right?! In 2024, my intention is to share more of the details of my life journey, growth, and healing practices with you all. šŸ’œ What are your intentions for the new year? #selfgrowthšŸŒ± #personalgrowthanddevelopment #2023recap #thisisms #invisibleillness #entrepreneurship #mentalhealthmatters #patientadvocacy #advocacymatters #beyourownbestadvocate
    How are you REALLY?! A part of me loves the holid How are you REALLY?! A part of me loves the holiday season, and yet this year I am feeling more emotionally triggered than usual. The bonus part of feeling healthier, stronger, and safer in your own body while you learn to regulate your nervous system in a healthy way? For me, itā€™s been the ability to finally FEEL and work through many of the complex medical traumas Iā€™ve had this time of year since I got the MS diagnosis in January eight years ago. I am grateful to be able to start to address these issues and heal them, but itā€™s also an exhausting work in progress. So I wanted to remind you all, itā€™s ok if youā€™re not feeling as festive as youā€™d like to this year. šŸŽ„ The holidays can be both joyful and stressful. Beautiful and filled with grief. All of your emotions are valid ā¤ļø Photo by the talented shanell_majors_photography #holidayseason2023 #holidaysarecoming #thisisms #chronicillnesscommunity #invisibleillness #mentalhealthadvocacy #mentalhealthwarrior #allemotionsarevalid #selflovejourney
    The tradition of Hanukkah has always been based in The tradition of Hanukkah has always been based in hope and miracles. Now, more than ever, I hope that we will all work together to end the hate and darkness in this world so that we may come together in love and peace. I know it would be a miracle to see a cease fire and peace in the Middle East, but we have seen miracles before and I will continue to hold on to hope. āœØ Growing up with a Jewish father and a Catholic mother certainly gave me an interesting perspective on the world, religion, and the power of love and understanding instead of hate. ā¤ļø Wishing all of my family and friends celebrating a joyful Hanukkah. May our hearts and homes be filled with love, light, and most importantly PEACE. #lovemore #loveandlight #chrismakkuh #seasonoflove #hanukkah2023

    What are you feeling today? Iā€™m feeling gratit What are you feeling today? Iā€™m feeling gratitude amongst a mix of emotions, and thatā€™s okay! Gratitude isnā€™t simply faking happiness or a tool to bypass other emotions. As melrobbins said Gratitude is not a happiness pill. It doesnā€™t work like that. Itā€™s also not a reason to accept a situation as it is when you know you want it to be better. True gratitude allows space for a full range of emotions. āœØGratitude allows all of it to be true. She went on to say ā€œGratitude doesnā€™t shame me to accept it as it is - it empowers me to see the good, the bad, the positive, the broken all while working toward making it better. So Today - however you feel and where ever you are and whatever you are dealing with - be grateful for what is and allow yourself the grace and space to feel what isnā€™t and ā€¦ while youā€™re grateful for what you may have still do whatever you need to do to make your life a little better.ā€ šŸ’– #GratitudeDay #gratidĆ£o #attitudeofgratitude #selfhealingjourney #selflovejourney #selfgrowthjourney #selfreflections #allemotionsarevalid

I used to feel like the MS diagnosis defined me, because it affected every aspect of my life. Now, I have learned to become my own best advocate with the healthcare system and most importantly with myself, changing my perspective and rewriting my limiting beliefs around this diagnosis. I no longer feel defined by the MS label, and I hope that inspires someone else to do the work to reframe their mindset and live their best life with a chronic diagnosis too šŸ§”šŸ§”šŸ§” And a huge thank you to shanell_majors_photography for the amazing chance to check out her studio, feel safe to be my full authentic self, and talk business and entrepreneurship yesterday šŸ«¶ Whatā€™s helped you discover your true self?! #thisisms #butyoudontlooksick #invisibleillness #selfhealingjourney #selfhealers #limitingbeliefs #rewriteyourstory #mindsetreset #trianglewomeninbusiness

Of course, if youā€™re familiar with chronic illness and the crapshoot that is the US insurance and medical system, youā€™re probably not at all surprised. šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø And if youā€™ve ever tried to get a time sensitive delivery from fedex you also probably arenā€™t surprised at how utterly useless and irresponsible they areā€¦ but I digress.šŸ¤¬ After deciding to switch from Ocrevus (which was very hard on my body) to Mayzent with my Neuro back in August, I had hoped to start on Mayzent in SeptemberšŸ™„. But extra tests, delays, insurance issues, and then fedex messing up my delivery of the temperature controlled medicationā€¦ I was able to take my first dose yesterday UNDER THE SUPERVISION of a doctor. And yes, she was lovely, but it was super weird to be observed in my own home for 7 hours šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ Although better than days of steroids and hours of being stuck to an iv šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø Thankfully, I didnā€™t have any heart related complications (the medicine can slow your heart rate esp when youā€™re adjusting, and mine did slow but not to a dangerous point) so thatā€™s a win. Now I continue to take a little more each day till I get to the full 1 milligram dose (some people take 2 milligrams). I was extra tired yesterday, but honestly I think that was more related to the stress of getting everything arranged for my first dose and felt no side effects today šŸ¤žšŸ¼šŸŽ‰ If youā€™ve made a med switch lately, how did it go? ā¤ļø #thisisms #multiplesclerosisawareness #chronicillnesslife #butyoudontlooksick #invisibleillnessawareness #autoimmunedisease #beyourownbestadvocate #advocacy

    DMT update: last month, i shared that with my doct DMT update: last month, i shared that with my doctors approval, I am switching from #Ocrevus infusions to the daily pill, Mayzent. šŸ’Š I had hoped to be starting the new medicine pill this week, but surprise, I am still waiting on more approvals from my insurance and this past week they sent a nurse to my home to do an eye exam (checking for macular degeneration, ECG, and blood draw). It was all painless and quick, and Iā€™m hoping to have an update on when I can start within a week. Given my history of allergic reactions to medications, theyā€™re requiring me to be ā€œobservedā€ for six hours after I take my first dose šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ™„ sooo they send a doctor to my house to stare at me šŸ˜‚ but, itā€™s better than being stuck to an IV pole all day! While ocrevus ā€œworked wellā€ for me, my body did not enjoy it. I had to take five days of oral prednisone prior to each infusion plus extra pre-meds and get my IV extra slowly. I have been feeling better than ever, physically and mentally the past six months, and I feel confident that now is the right time for my body to switch. šŸ’ŖšŸ» When I was having trouble getting my last infusion scheduled in February, I had an extreme anxiety about delaying the medication, and how that might negatively affect my house, but now, after Iā€™ve broken through those limiting beliefs related to my health, and my futureā€¦.I am at ease with knowing that it will happen in the right time, and that I am strong and capable. So itā€™s a hassle, but Iā€™m not letting it worry or stress me out!šŸ™Œ Anyone else switched to Mayzent?
