We're expected to function like healthy people while living in bodies that don't cooperate. And when we can't? We're treated like we're the problem. Chronic illness doesn't disappear just because you managed to show up today. Who else is tired of having to prove they're sick? 🫩 #mswarrior #chronicillness #multiplesclerosis #invisibleillness #chronicillnessawareness

I was 30 when I had to accept that my life would never look quite the way I imagined. I didn't get to choose MS. I didn't get to choose the fatigue, pain, uncertainty, or limitations. And I DO NOT need lectures about pushing through from people who have never had to navigate life with an incurable illness. Your health is a privilege. Stop using it as a measuring stick for somebody else's effort. You can be grateful for your health without minimizing someone else's struggle. 🧡 #mswarrior #chronicillness #invisibleillness #multiplesclerosis #chronicillnessawareness

Yes, I made a speaking error in this video. And no, I didn't edit it out. Why? Because that's part of my life with MS. Sometimes my brain knows exactly what I want to say, but somewhere between my brain and my mouth, things get a little scrambled. 😂 I'm here talking about the realities of chronic illness. I'm not going to edit out the very things I'm trying to bring awareness to. You don't get to see the reality of MS if I only show you the polished parts. 🧡 #mswarrior #chronicillness #invisibleillness #multiplesclerosis #chronicillnessawareness
