Anyone else do a double take when they saw MSNBC change their name to MS NOW? #multiplesclerosis #msnow

20 years ago I was diagnosed with #multiplesclerosis, and was told to stay quiet about the illness, because “No one wants to see a sick person on TV.”
Happy I didn’t listen. To all those who share the disease, I will continue to stand tall, be an advocate and raise awareness.

A multiple sclerosis patient in the UK was the first to receive CAR T cell therapy, invented by UCL researchers, in a clinical trial testing whether this personalised treatment can slow or even halt the progression of the disease. @uclqsion.bsky.social

ALT I hope taking part in the trial means I will never have to experience another relapse and that my MS symptoms will not progress. I know it is still experimental but it offers a scientific rationale which, as a biology teacher, makes sense to me.

Hey All! I'm back after a 2 year hiatus. I'm currently looking for ideas for a bake sale to give to a charity. Any help would be appreciated.

There are lots of "multiples" I wouldn't mind having... multiple chocolate bars, multiple days off from work, multiple song downloads... but NOT multiple sclerosis.

I'm sick. I'm not stupid or mentally disabled. I'm not crazy. It's not stress. It's not in my head. I'm not causing this myself. I'm not making it up. I'm learning about myself every day. How well I deal with this sickness. I can still do things for myself but I may need help.

If your embrace of diversity, civil rights, human rights and justice does not include disabled people, you have embraced ableism.

To deem someone a burden is to deem them unworthy and treat them as such.
Disabled people are worthy.
Disabled people are not a burden.
