Exploring Life with MS

Juggling Life with MS — wellness, resilience, and hope in everyday life.

I share health and wellness tips, helpful tools, and personal moments from my journey with multiple sclerosis. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

My hope is to create a supportive space where we can encourage each other and face life with MS together.

Welcome

2014 was a year when I found out that MS (my secret Mr. Hyde) is a part of me. I planned to ignore it—no more. Now, I want to change and challenge it. Every fight is different. I would love to hear how you deal with your Mr. Hyde.

As a mom of three amazing, strong-willed, high-energy kiddos, I sometimes struggle to keep up. Working night shifts in a high-stress job already takes a lot out of me, and MS can make even the simplest days feel harder.

But when MS tries to slow me down, I find ways to fight back. Sometimes that means yoga, movement, and convincing my three little troublemakers to exercise with me. Other days, it means slowing down, watching a movie, or reading a book together.

There is no perfect formula for motherhood with MS. Some days I move with them, and other days I slow down beside them. Either way, I keep showing up with love. 💙

Follow if you’re a mom who keeps showing up, even on the hard days. 🤍

At first, I didn’t think much of it. I would trip over nothing, feel dizzy for no clear reason, or suddenly struggle to catch a ball. I told myself I was tired, moving too fast, or simply being clumsy. It felt easier to laugh it off and pretend nothing had happened than to admit that something might be wrong.

If you’re experiencing this right now, trust yourself—you’re not imagining it. 💙

Follow if you’ve ever nodded along to symptoms like these. You are not alone. 🌿

I miss the version of me who never had to calculate every step, every plan, or every ounce of energy. The one who trusted her body without question.

I call MS my secret Mr. Hyde, always lurking in the shadows. I can never let my guard down because I never know when he’ll strike.

MS changed more than my health—it changed my identity.

I’m still grieving who I was.

But it also introduced me to someone I never knew I could become: stronger, more resilient, more grateful, and determined to live fully despite the challenges.

And I’m proud of the person I’m becoming.

I believe anything is possible.

I’m unstoppable. 💙

Follow along if you’re learning to love the person you’re becoming, too. 🌿

I still remember my first scary relapse. At the time, I had no idea it was MS.

One hot summer day in Chicago, I looked at the kitchen clock, and it started moving up and down like an old film reel. I got scared, lay on the floor, and hoped it was just dehydration.

At the ER, the doctor told me I had MS.

I panicked and told my husband he could leave—I didn’t want to be a burden.

He hugged me and said, “We’re in this together. I’m not going anywhere.”

For years, I tried to ignore my diagnosis.

Then I became a mom.

That’s when everything changed.

MS may be part of my story, but it will never define it.

I choose to be a warrior. 💙
