Just for fun: what do you call your MS? She? He? It? Did you give it a nickname?

Just for fun... I've read many posts and many of us refer to our MS with a specific word. I personally tend to personalize many things. My Roomba is Felix and My MS is the Passenger. What do you call yours?

She, it, he?

The MonSter

The Witch, the B***h

The Thing

What else?

She or it.

I also refer to it as my confused immune system. I jokingly will say “don’t wanna wake the MS dragon”. I have some pretty strong feelings against constant negative thinking/speaking/labeling about something that is constantly negative, but that’s just me!

When I write about it, I refer to it as 'ms', putting it in lower caps, and quotations around it ~ not give it importance, and to 'contain' it, or hinder it.

I don’t have a name for it. But I will say “It” a lot. Or sometimes I’ll just say “damm it get it together “ so I guess that can be it’s name as well

I call it "shit" lol if I'm talking about it towards myself I just say "My MS" because we are all different and the "shit" hits everyone of us differently. 👍❤🌷

My initials are MS so it's only reasonable that this MS is ME. Yes, M. y S. ymptoms. Yep, I have wrinkles, a large nose, a flat booty, a strange gait,..It's all a part of the new and reinvented me. I don't hide, contain, embrace etc. It's just me. Besides, when I trip and fall I call it "making new friends" as I grab on to people and bring them with me

Hey deedeedah

I love your attitude! Looking at you will probably be like looking in the mirror! Plus, you have given me a new meaning to 'falling' for you! :-D

Keep Smiling and Stay Strong,

Carole :-D

I will have to try that because I fall all the time, even with my walker! How many friends can you make in a pile-up?

I've never given it name but often I'll say MS although I have enjoyed some of the names I've heard for it on here. Monster, terrorist, beast, I forget some of the others I've seen.

I never thought of giving it a name. It's just a thing that's there, and it's MS. But I like this creative idea. Maybe it helps give it personality or identity that we feel we can fight or overcome.-Instead of a vague invisible indescribable thing that is in us and making us miserable.....

I just call IT MS or IT depending on where I use IT on a sentence. I don't give IT any special name cuz IT doesn't deserve a name, IT isn't special.
