Ha, ha, ha. Let’s give you allergy meds, steroids and an infusion that can make you sleepy all at the same time so you can get the full zombie experience!

I survived my first infusion! Woohoo!!! Was gone 7 hours total. I’m home now and I’m going to nap and hydrate and keep my fingers crossed for no side effects. #multiplesclerosis #pwms #rituximab #rituxan #fums

Have been for a jog & can now confidently power the whole house with the vibes #fuMS

#MSAwareness: Many like me with #MS have invisible symptoms.

We may not use wheelchairs or canes, so it’s not obV… but we’re still facing life-altering dysfunction nonetheless.

2mil ppl in the US have MS.

Still no cure; researchers can’t even agree on root cause.

We MSers still must live with it, and that includes dealing with pain, fatigue, and bodies and brains that don’t work the way they’re supposed to.

Or sometimes we succumb (my goddaughter lost to MS last week at age 36).

#FUMS

March is MS Awareness Month.

Don’t forget, a lot of people with MS have invisible symptoms (like yours truly).

We may not be in wheelchairs or using canes, so it’s not obvious… but we’re still dealing with life-altering dysfunction nonetheless.

For me it is unexpected aphasia, painful muscle spasticity, disabling fatigue…

…for other friends of mine, it is incontinence, visual impairment, memory loss, trouble swallowing…

MS happens when one’s own immune system mistakenly attacks the coating on the nerve fibers in the central nervous system.

Imagine the white waxy coating on your phone’s charging cable, then imagine rodents nibbling most of it away in spots, exposing the wires inside that conduct signals.

You end up replacing that cable because it’s not working right anymore.

Sadly, we cannot replace brain cells, so those with MS have to live with broken brains.

Or in some cases, we succumb to this disease. I literally lost a goddaughter to MS _just last week_ SHE WAS 36 YEARS OLD.

2 mil people in the US have MS. There is no cure and researchers still can’t agree on what causes it to happen in the first place.

But MSers still have to live with brains that don’t work the way they’re supposed to.

If you’ve read this far, thanks! You likely know at least one person (besides me) who has MS.

We need your support and understanding and, YES, research money.

A typical MS drug goes for >$100k annually. Please help out if you can. Http://www.accelerated cure.org

These signals are the communication we rely upon for organ function, muscle movement, executive function, sleep, basic drives like hunger… nothing happens in the body without a signal exchange between the central nervous system and the body.

As you might imagine, in MS, those signals are either erratic/unreliably conducted or fail to conduct at all.
That is MS… and every case is different depending upon the damage inflicted.
2 million people in the United States have MS.

There is no cure for MS and researchers still can’t agree on what causes it to happen in the first place.
But we all still have to live with it, and that includes dealing with pain, fatigue, and bodies and brains that don’t work the way they’re supposed to.

an overdue update about how I'm getting on where #MultipleSclerosis meets #flu - https://itsashitbusiness.blogspot.com/2023/01/an-overdue-update.html #NewBlogpost #MS #FUMS

All the warm white lights are up and on, but I have no energy to put the ornaments (cat toys) on the pre-lit tree that’s been up for two weeks. #MultipleSclerosis #FUMS
