MS fatigue is real 😩 Being alive is hard

July is Disability Pride Month, and yeah, I’m a day late bc energy isn’t unlimited and I live in the Disability Time Zone where we get there when we get there, thanks for holding the door 💁‍♀️

Disability Pride doesn’t mean I enjoying having MS - to be clear, zero stars. Do not recommend. 👎

Pride means refusing to be ashamed of my disabled body. It’s about taking up space and celebrating our whole selves and advocating for a more accessible world.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be sitting in front of the freezer eating popsicles like it’s my job.

This kind of heat is hard on everyone but for ppl with MS, a symptom called Uhthoff’s phenomenon can really eff you up 🥵

Heat hijacks the MS nervous system turning minor glitches into full-on system failures. It’s not drama. It’s science. 🤔

Stay cool, Trippers. Rest isn’t lazy, it’s survival.
