MS Diary | Tuesday, 9/19/23 | HerbaLife vs Multiple Sclerosis 

I'm on a mission. I dare not ask anyone else to swang and bang on the 1s and 2s with me. This is some aggressive self-care.

Be aware Tribespeople. Be aware that I will BE better.

MS Diary | Monday, 9/18/23 | Why I'm leaving better pay and health insurance 

Wow. A lot has changed. I uses to think more money was the solution. Then, Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis so I thought better healthcare. 

Now? I'm going better work environment.

MS Diary | Friday, 9/15/23 | Hold up! I think Ocrevus is working 

Since that Monday infusion, I've been feeling better, moving better, sleeping better. I was terrified to admit it for fear it would stop. I'm rocking and rolling with THIS because it makes me happy, gives me a good perspective. Even my bad day was much better than usual.

MS Diary | Sunday, 9/17/23

Stop. Chill. Lie down. 

I deserve a break. You deserve a break. Let's do it together so WE don't feel as bad for resting. Fighting autoimmune diseases, managing limitations is hard work. 

MS Diary | Thursday, 9/14/23 | Wow! She's an angel!

I met 1 or 2 in my lifetime. People so helpful, it blows your mind. So helpful, you're confused. So helpful, it inspires you to be helpful. 

Well, I have a story for you. Stuff like this changes your perspective and life. My entire family is better because of her!

MS Diary | Wednesday, 9/13/23 | Trauma AND healing can be passed through generations 

Tribespeople! Lend me your ear! I have a message for you. 

MS Diary | Tuesday, 9/12/23 | The day AFTER Ocrevus

*loud clapping* 

It's National Day of Encouragement! This is exactly what I need to create Inner G (pronounced "energy"), and Ocrevus infusion has me juiced, PLUS Mrs. Avant returns. 

Oh yeah, I think I'm interviewing someone too.

AND, I wrecked the bathroom. Damn. BM so long, employees stayed late finishing MY infusion. 🫣🤣🤣🤣

I get that but the disease hits us so differently, even medicines. Someone could take ALL  my mindset talk and be no stronger, not improve relationships. Others can, will, DO become better. We don't choose nor judge, we just tell folks what's up.

Allow me to reintroduce myself.

I tell stories of Gratitude so others, wheelchair-bound and aggressively self-caring, can keep their mindset OVER bullshit. WE are often overlooked and rarely the focus of any campaigns to improve our mental health. WE struggle, surrounded by friends and family, confused on how to help, listen, comfort us. It's those Tribespeople I speak to, speak with and speak for. Those Tribespeople, I open my show, channel and heart to. Those Tribespeople that sincerely overstand life is perspective and negative thoughts can be managed through stories of Gratitude. 

I reinforce this activity with a YouTube channel, podcast and blog dedicated to daily shares of my gratitude stories. I do this because I wish someone accepted the challenge with me. The challenge to BE better despite bullshit.

MS Diary | Monday, 9/11/23 | Last Ocrevus infusion of 2023!

I got my fingers crossed. 

I got my hopes high.

BUT, I'm keeping my mindset OVER bullshit. 

Today is my final Ocrevus infusion of 2023. According to the "stats", 70% of patients report no worsening of symptoms. 25% report improvement of movement. 

None of that applies to me. NONE. 

I'm taking my 3rd infusion this morning. *pops collar* Let's see if a full year of DMT changes anything. 

🤜🏾🤛🏾🤞🏾
