Living Well With MS: What I Do & What I Wish I Did More

Living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is not just about medication and doctor appointments. It is also about learning how to take care of your body, mind and emotional wellbeing every single day. In this video, I share some of the things I personally do to live a healthier and more balanced life with MS — and one thing I wish I had more of: a strong support system. From eating healthy and exercising to getting enough sleep, meditation and journaling, these are some of the habits that help me take care of myself while living with Multiple Sclerosis. But there is another side of living with MS that isn't talked about enough — loneliness and the need for emotional support. I live alone and don't have a very large circle of friends, and sometimes I wish I had more people around me who understood what it is like to live with a chronic, often invisible illness. In this video, I talk honestly about: • Healthy eating while living with MS • Exercise and staying physically active • The importance of sleep and rest • Meditation and managing stress • Journaling and mental wellbeing • Accepting your limitations and listening to your body • The importance of emotional support • Living alone with Multiple Sclerosis • Building a support system • Things I wish I did more of for my overall wellbeing This is my personal experience of living with MS. Everyone's Multiple Sclerosis journey is different, and what works for me may not work for someone else. This video is not medical advice.
