My Worst MS Day. Ever. So Far

My Worst MS Day. Ever. So Far.

I’m not exactly a science girl, but it sounds to me like cytokines are Satan’s envoy, sent to provoke the hot microglia into a bar-fight

May is MS Awareness Month 🇨🇦 So, here’s a hot tip: Put your best foot forward, because if you have MS, chances are one foot is way shittier than the other (I’m looking at you, Righty 😉)

But wait!!! According to @doctor.gretchen you should actually lead with your shitty foot (my words, not hers, obvi) when going down stairs🤔 #safetyFirst #thisIsMS

Toronto’s @barbershoppatisserie makes a cameo in my book, Fallosophy, bc that is how important pastry is to me 🥐 🖤

Ofc, chocolate is also très important and shout out to @chocolatdekat for the spectacular custom bonbons they created for the launch party 🤩

What’s your favourite place to snag a little treat? Tag the bakery or sweet spot that would make it into your own memoir!

I’m not proud to admit that I’ve been ghosting the gym for awhile now (like, less than 5 years but more than 2 🤔) Not good.

Sure, exercise keeps MS from doing its worst, but MS is exhausting and most of the time just being alive feels like a workout 💀

I AM proud to report that as of today I’m back on track with a new physiotherapist and a plan to get friggin jacked 💪 🏋️

Yes, it was hard to do some previously simple moves (like getting off my back without assistance 🙄), but I was happy to discover that I’m still pretty good at squats⭐️ (I did 3)

Whether you’re ghosting the gym or getting jacked or somewhere in between, remind yourself that MS is HARD. We’re all out here doing our best. And if you haven’t exercised since skinny jeans were still in style, it’s never too late to start.
