Explaining MS...

[Jesmcd2]

This is one way to explain it... How do you explain it?

My girls actually looked it up on the mymsaa.org/ site! Im so proud! 🙂 💕 Now when anyone asks and l say, lts like taking the remote and having 1 good battery and 1 bad... Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt! 🤣😂🤣

How do you explain it? 🤔

🤗💕🌠

Excellent used this for years,brillint analogy.

[Morllyn]

I say that it is a neurological disorder, if they want more then I go with the stripped wire analogy. Most don’t ask for more though.

[CynthiaS]

Brain damage is my response and hopefully my brain will rewire itself. SERIOUSLY 😜🤪🙃😁😄🥰

[falalalala]

MS?? I'm drunk!😜

Actually, I can't remember the last time I had to explain.

When I was using a cane most of the time, I'd sometimes get asked why I was using one. Saying I have MS usually makes them slink away.😜

When I am out in the wheelchair, nobody asks about my condition, They might stare as they try to figure out what's wrong with me.😅

I saw this shirt on Amazon recently and have to have it. So many colors to choose from!😂

t shirt

[Helpmeup in reply to falalalala]

You made my day! That t-shirt "always give up" is so perfect! Laughed my butt off. Thank you. 😂😂😂

[falalalala in reply to Helpmeup]

You're welcome!I too, had a good laugh.

[CatsandCars in reply to falalalala]

My remote never works 🤪

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Tazmanian]

Right? 🤣😂🤣🤗💕🌠

[NorasMom]

I tend to use that ugly old table lamp from Great-Aunt Mildred at your mother's house that you can't get rid of in spite of the fact that it overheats, shocks people, or stops working without warning. Either that or a frayed extension cord.

[Helpmeup]

Yup. The frayed exposed lamp wires is my go to explanation for all my short circuiting issues. Most folks don't ask for much detail after I say "M.S.". I just get that "look" if you know what I mean. 😜

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Helpmeup]

Oh l do know that look! 🙃🤗💕🌠

[Cutefreckles72]

Now that is a good way of explaining it. 👍

"Mommy's immune system gets confused sometimes and thinks my brain and nerves are bad guys, like germs, and attacks them. This makes me sick for a while and leaves boo boos on the inside of my body you can't see. My doctor can see them though, by taking cool pictures of my brain. She also gives me medicine to try to teach my immune system not to hurt me."

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to kdali]

🤗🤗 Love that! 🤗💕🌠

[Helpmeup in reply to kdali]

That's the best explanation ever! Love it! 🤗🥰

[kdali in reply to Helpmeup]

Thank you! 🥰

[Neworleanslady]

love that shirt!!

[mrsmike9]

I don't remember the last time I had to explain.

[hairbrain4]

That's a good way of putting it! I used to tell people to wrap rubber bands around their toes & fingers until it hurts & then strap 5lb bags of flour to each arm & leg, go without sleep for more than 24 hrs & then try to get on with your day.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to hairbrain4]

🤣😂🤣 l like that! Thats about how l feel right now.. 🙂🤗💕🌠

[hairbrain4 in reply to Jesmcd2]

I'm sorry you have to feel like that. My prayer is that everyone could have their MS go into remission.🤗❤

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to hairbrain4]

TY🤗 Tis just the extra stress tossed into the mix of a mess of a busy 3week sched. And lm a planner🤣 l like my lil duckies all ina row😐 Things are done on certain days🤣🤣🤗💕🌠

[whwiechm]

I was an electronic technician for many years, sao the wire stripping works best for me.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to whwiechm]

You were? Cool! Fix my TV! And my phone! 🤣😂🤣 joking🤣😂🤣 🤗💕🌠

[whwiechm in reply to Jesmcd2]

Sorry, not my area of exp[ertise. I can't even figure out all the things on my own smart phone.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to whwiechm]

Right? Give them to teenagers to figure out! 🤣🤣🤗💕🤞
