My body learns new tricks every month. Unfortunately, they’re usually medical mysteries. #ChronicLife

What's your contingency/pivot?

My capacity changes without warning...
Plans rarely survive contact with reality.

Urban parks still offer a lot and get you out of the box.

Chronic illness didn’t take my joy. It just taught me to find it in quieter places. #ChronicLife

My plans are set to “based on symptoms.” #ChronicLife

Being chronically ill means my health is always trending ... backward. #ChronicLife

I’m not mad at my body. I’m just still learning to negotiate with it. #ChronicLife

Excellent walk today. My #MS had me a little wobbly, but I met FOUR new neighborhood #dogs. My favorite is when I ask the owner if I can pet them and they say, "You can try, she's really shy," and then we become best friends.

Having a chronic illness means learning to make joy small but mighty. #ChronicLife

The next person who tells me my chronic pain can be cured by yoga, some herb, or fresh air is going to get punched in the neck. #Spoonie #ChronicLife

Beautiful start to days off. #insomnia #stress #chronicillness #chroniclife #ms #mssucks #sleep

Good #MS day. Had a nice, long (for me) walk, including a visit from my favorite neighborhood #cat. I've never had a direct effect on symptoms from my Ocrevus infusion before, so maybe it's in my head. In any case, I'll take it.

#multiplesclerosis #chronicillness #mslife #chroniclife #autoimmune

Every doctor's appointment feels like a game of medical bingo. #ChronicLife

Joy may look different now, but it still matters.

#ChronicLife

It's #ocrevus infusion day. My MS has been on the bad side, so I'm curious to see if I'll feel better after this. I always refuse the steroids, so any improvement will be from the actual drug.

Not sure if it’s a trauma history or #ms thing but it’s easy to see the effect of one threatening incident on my body. Starting the day pretty much in a deficit. #mssucks #chroniclife #chronicillness

You start appreciating the little things when they take maximum effort. #ChronicLife

I measure time in flares, fatigue, and the rare moments of calm. #ChronicLife

One step at a time still moves you forward.

Save this as a reminder.

I’ve had to learn to celebrate what I can do instead of mourning what I lost. #ChronicLife

Had the best sleep for ages but still starting the week on empty. Urgh.
