Because MS affects every aspect of who we are, from our ability to walk to how we pack for a plane flight (that’s . . . → Read More: The Good Stuff I wrote this about a month after I was diagnosed with MS, when I was feeling particularly feisty about my disease. I needed to remind myself daily that incurable doesn’t mean impossible, and chronic doesn’t mean chaotic.
