STOP and BREATHE! Getting overwhelmed only makes things worse.Try not to rush into decisions, and set clear boundaries about what you need.

My advice to anyone just starting their MS journey is to stay prayed up and surround yourself with a great support system.

God is my foundation. Life could be worse, so I continue to push forward. Although this is my new “normal,” I am still incredibly blessed.

Stay true to yourself. Surround yourself with positive people and things. Your journey is unique. Don’t compare your MS to anyone else’s.

MS became my catalyst for self-empowerment, showing me that I could take control of my life and break through the limitations.

Educate yourself about the disease, work with your doctor to find the best treatment plan, and rally your support system.

I believe sharing our stories is crucial in breaking the stigma around chronic conditions.

Keep things in perspective. Even if you think you can handle it alone, opening up to others will help you navigate your journey better.

To anyone on their own MS journey, I want to say this. You are not alone. Don’t lose hope! You are stronger than you think.

Get a relationship with your higher power. I truly believe we need that to thrive with confidence in spite of our diagnoses.

Take it one day at a time. Grieving the old you is a process, and there’s no set timeline for it. Always remember...You are not alone!
