March is #MSAwareness month. ##MultipleSclerosis #ChronicIllness This is what I see when a relapse hits. #OpticNeuritis. The eye goes completely Grey. I know I need to get to the ER.

Sometimes the best part of the day is simple: hanging out with one of my girls and watching a K-drama. Small moment, but I’ve learned to cherish those. #MultipleSclerosis #MSAwareness

What looks like low energy is often energy mismanagement at a neurological level —
where every action requires more effort than it should.

Had 9 hours sleep last night and no clear reason why even getting up is difficult today. Had to cancel social plans 😒

Woke up to beautiful sunshine, so now I’m building the day carefully enough to enjoy a piece of it. With MS, good weather is nice. Having the energy and a plan to catch it is even better. #MultipleSclerosis #MSAwareness

MP Book Reviews on Instagram: "Review: Trusting Fletcher by Kim Breyon 3 of 5 stars Vince has spent years keeping to himself, doing his job and staying invisible, but everything changes when he’s diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. His body becomes unpredictable, his home unsafe, and the life he’s carefully managed starts to fall apart. With nowhere else to turn, he reluctantly accepts help from Fletcher Rhide — a longtime bar regular who turns out to be far kinder and more patient than Vince ever expected. Fletcher offers him a safe place to stay, steady support, and a level of trust Vince hasn’t felt in years. As they grow closer, Vince fears risking his heart even more than facing his illness. He has to decide whether to let Fletcher in or keep fighting alone. I had very mixed feelings while reading this one. As someone who also lives with MS, I appreciated seeing a character navigate the fear and uncertainty that comes with the diagnosis — but I did feel the story overlooked the many medications and therapies that can genuinely help manage symptoms. Because of that, Vince’s doubts about his future and the future of his relationship felt far too amplified, to the point where it became painful to read. That said, the writing itself is strong, and the emotional intensity is easy to understand. The author captures vulnerability well, and the story doesn’t shy away from the rawness of fear and love colliding. It’s a tough, emotional read, and while it didn’t fully work for me, I’m glad I experienced it. This was an MM story with mature content. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0FH5KH4F9" 0 likes, 0 comments - mp_book_reviews on March 28, 2026: "Review: Trusting Fletcher by Kim Breyon 3 of 5 stars Vince has spent years keeping to himself, doing his job and staying invisible, but everything changes when he’s diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

For me, reducing inflammation starts with food. No white refined sugar, fewer preservatives, no dairy, no wheat. It doesn’t fix MS, but it does help my body feel calmer. #MultipleSclerosis #MSAwareness

It’s how you sustain yourself through uncertainty.

When pain has no visible source, people question it — but in MS, the source is the nervous system itself.
