@evelynmiller48: Having a chronic illness like MS or any other type of sickness DOES NOT have a look. The cliche phrase “don’t judge a book by its cover” 100% represents this. There are so many times people who are sick, look completely fine and are even doing completely normal things. Personally, I’ve become a master at “masking”… essentially meaning that I’m faking it. I’m making it look like I’m fine when I may not be fine. Don’t get me wrong, I may actually be fine and I’m not masking but that’s even more reason to not judge or make assumptions about people when you are simply looking at them. Many people see me online and have all kinds of assumptions about me simply because I’m sitting on my floor infront of a window recording myself talk. People see me “doing” something. I may even have my hair & make up done.. but what you don’t see is what happens when the camera turns off. Chronic illness doesn’t have a look. Period. #MultipleSclerosis #MSAwareness #ChronicIllness #invisibleillness #chronicillnessawareness

I've had MS for 26 years. I had surgery last Thursday and my mom had surgery this Tuesday. I take care of her full time. She has COPD and Alzheimer's. today I am feeling it. I'm exhausted, so fatigued. I'm scared of having an exacerbation because I feel so run down. I am completely overwhelmed. I did finally reach out to my children for help today. I even cried today and that's just not me.

Just Michelle R 🌸 :

Oh my goodness! Yes not feeling well but I look completely it together or days where I have hoodie on and mismatched pjs! Both days can be the same!!

sunnyflowergirl77 :

Yes. I have a rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia, and I completely understand how rough some days can be.

Bonnie Wilson91 :

Exactly!! I love the glares when I park in handicap spots on my bad days… like give me the ugly look, I still can’t feel my legs 😳🥹😫😅 LOVE your content!! 🧡🧡🧡

I look like a homeless person at home most days and some days I get dressed. Last time someone made the You don’t look like anything is wrong with you I smiled and said you don’t look like a dumba** but here we are😂😂

My best friend says I fake being well.

aprilharding66 :

So true..I think people forget you have it until you remind it

Lifeisbootyful :

It gets frustrating when people are like oh you're good now....NO....im just good TODAY.

Girl, you’re beautiful and you don’t owe anybody any type of explanation! My daughter told me yesterday that Elon Musk is trying to come out with this new microchip for ALS and I don’t know if MS is included but it’s supposed to be a game changer for people that have this chronic illness but like I said you do you and stay away from negative people🥰

Fee Moo Ren :

My mom had Lupus and she was all dressed up on the outside , but the inside she was very sick.

Also true of injury. I’m a checker, I think I have some repetitive motion that’s messed up my rotator cuff, but I seem fine so people don’t always act kind when I ask for help unloading their cart. (It’s a weird set-up) but they really do act like I’m asking them some huge inconvenience. When every other store, there is a huge belt you’re expected to unload onto. But when I isolated the arm w a sling, suddenly they’re automatically unloading, and if they don’t automatically they are some nice and kind and willing. I wish people didn’t have to see to be kind w illness or injury.

Echo Combs :

I had OT and PT evals yesterday, I heard “ you’re doing so great we see people with walkers and wheels chairs”. But that doesn’t help me cut my food or climb the stairs!!

Kenzie🩷🤍 :

IleostomyWarrior.Sher :

I was told I looked to good to be here, I was getting my iv infusion that I go to 3 days a week to stay alive 😳

Kara :

Thank you. Because I constantly get a look, like this 😳 ? And it’s extremely exhausting to listen to information, then if the wind blows I feel ill? It doesn’t make sense. This body is ridiculous 🤦🏽‍♀️
