🧡 MS Conversations provides a wealth of perspectives and information for people with MS & those who care for & about them. While grounded in the MS community, posts often apply to other areas of life.
It’s always a delight when they choose to feature something I’ve written. 🧡

“When I was diagnosed with #MS, I firmly wanted to be able to deal with it myself...
I’ve learned that sharing my experience and counting on people to help me is not a burden.”

Ultimately, learning is not about the information, it’s about how it changes us. It changes how we perceive, understand, and interact in life. The possibilities alone are exciting!

Much love and appreciation to MSAA MS Conversations. I understand the east coast is dealing with imminent danger, and other areas have smoke, heat and other issues. We’re all in this at different times but with similar challenges. Hope you all have what you need when you need it!

@valsrodz @MSassociation That sounds so hard. I’m sad for your experience and hope you’re able to find what you need to help you through. 🧡

[Stacie Prada @StaciePrada]

Thx @MSassociation! The motivation that comes from excitement works better than fear.  I have more success working toward goals than trying to avoid potential consequences. I want to feel like I’m being rewarded, not punished. 🧡

I look forward to ongoing medical advancements to see what the next MS Generation might be. Hopefully someday there will be a “Cured of MS Generation” and ultimately a “Post MS Eradication Generation.” I have hope. #generations #thisisms

@myoddsock I hear you and agree. The saying doesn’t resonate with me either. I’m doing well, but MS most certainly affects every aspect of my life. Cheers to you!

[Stacie Prada @StaciePrada]

@SuebeeTexan Thank you! Wishing you very merry holidays too!

Do I have the energy to share this story? Am I able and willing to commit to staying in the conversation? When I’m experiencing fatigue, the answer is no. Things I find funny, interesting or relevant become thoughts too big to share. #ms #fatigue

"When Multiple Sclerosis fatigue rears up, my first noticeable sign is when I stop telling stories that come to mind."

@RudyCerda My cassette tape class work was not impressive but it made a pretty pic.
My Lotus 123 home biz docs took care of what I needed (I drove 30 miles to my mom’s house to use her home computer 4 my biz needs) & the basics have helped me beyond belief with today’s calcs & excel needs.

Thank you @MSassociation!

@myoddsock @MSassociation Love your term, “Nature’s clutter.”

“…I have had instances of noticing misfires in my nerves and been able to think of them as curious and interesting instead of frustrating and scary. These momentary experiences show me how mental relaxation doesn’t override physical tension, but it does help me cope with it.” 🧡

"It’s challenging to relax when my limbs ache and the compulsion to move them won’t subside. Being uncomfortable has become the norm."

@peteyorn Agree with the others & hope you get what you need, Pete. You’ve improved our lives w/your music and heart. Fell in love with your music decades ago. During the pandemic, your July 25, 2020 concert brought me so much hope, joy and comfort. Wishing for you all you need right now.

[Stacie Prada @StaciePrada]

Thx for including my thoughts in MS Conversations @MSassociation! Lots of great perspectives and support!
