How many times do I have to explain….

MS Relapse vs Pseudo-Relapse… what’s the difference?
In Multiple Sclerosis, a relapse means new or worsening symptoms that last at least 24 hours…
and often much longer—days, weeks, sometimes more.

A pseudo-relapse is different…
it’s a temporary flare of old symptoms.

These can be triggered by things like heat, stress, or infection…
and usually settle once the trigger is gone.

So true. Yep, sometimes it’s easier to stay at home.

Difficulty walking with MS is not just about physical limitations, but also emotions, stigma, and how others respond, a review study finds.

MS-related fatigue can make simple tasks feel impossible. When fatigue sets in, it can feel like the entire body is being weighed down.

Why do you need that but you can still stand up?

Heard this a couple of times over the weekend....

I am an ambulatory Wheelchair - Scooter user, I stand when I can or when the situation serves a purpose.

Most of the time when I'm out I use a Scooter or a wheelchair to conserve the energy I have or the help me when my legs can't take anymore.

Some people do get confused with the realism of that.....

Some days feel better,
The pain is not as loud,
Your head’s a bit clearer,
You’re out of the cloud.
There's no drama,
There's no stress,
Just breathing is nice,
So take that in,
Don’t think twice.

Enjoy the peace while it’s here today,
Laugh when you can,
Find the time to play.
Life can be heavy,
But there's times when it’s light,
You’ve earned that break,
And for once it's nice.

Don’t waste the good by fearing the bad,
You’ve had your share of feeling sad.
Let yourself smile,
And don’t hold back,
Moments like this help keep you on track.

So when a good day shows up for you,
Make the most of it,
That’s what you need to do.
They don’t come often,
I wish they did but they don’t,
And they seem to never stay long,
But they remind us that life is still worth living and sometimes we can still be strong.

Make the Good Days Count 🧡
