Minnetonka girls basketball team raises money as team official battles MS As the director of operations for the Minnetonka girls basketball team, Barry Cosgriff takes care of all the team’s off-the-court worries, so his players can focus on having success on the court. But Tuesday night was Barry’s night, an opportunity for the team and community to take care of him.

"Hey y’all! I’m Jade Symoné, and I live in Polk County, FL.

I strive to live my life what I call Chronically Cute. We’re often judged by our outer appearance; however, MS is an invisible disease. We’re still dealing with the toughest battles MS has to offer. Just because we struggle and have chronic illnesses doesn’t mean we can’t still be beautiful people inside and out. That’s one of my main focuses is to help people see that I’m still sick and struggling with my symptoms even when I don’t look like it.

MS affects me every single day, and on the easier days, I do what I’m capable of doing. On the tougher days, I do what I can and try not to hold it against myself if I can’t accomplish what I once could.

I’d encourage those just diagnosed to know this isn’t the end. It may feel like it, but please take the time you need to understand and accept this new life that now includes MS. Grow into your new person. & always, always, always be nice to yourself and love yourself!"

Hey Latoya🧡

"In 2018, amidst the stress of completing a demanding work program and a 4-month detail in Atlanta as a single mom, I woke up a week before the detail ended with no feeling on the left side of my face. Ignoring it initially, the numbness persisted, leading me to the emergency room. After a prolonged wait, a physician recognized potential auto-immune issues and conducted tests and an MRI, which revealed three active brain lesions and a diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia. I was also told to follow up with a specialist. Two months later, in November, a neurologist confirmed my diagnosis of Relapse Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS), marking the beginning of a challenging journey with active flare-ups and necessary IV steroid infusions, as well as the complicated task of how to treat my MS.

Having MS has undeniably granted me a new perspective on life. Despite its challenges, it has taught me the paramount importance of maintaining positivity and staying in good spirits. Each day's unpredictability has emphasized the value of cherishing moments and finding joy in small victories. A robust support system has become my lifeline, reinforcing the significance of surrounding oneself with understanding and uplifting individuals. Through this journey, I've learned that cultivating a positive mindset and fostering meaningful connections are essential for navigating the complexities of life with MS."

I need a✨dependable✨tshirt printing business. Someone who can complete more than 20 shirts at a time with a decent turn around time AND can ship them to me instead of asking me to pick them up because I am ✨disabled✨🥰

thanks,

hey y’all! I’m just here to say that American Health Insurance is a fawking joke! I’ve been back and forth and forth and back since my diagnosis with✨Chronic Fatigue✨. I’ve been charged every where from $20 to $700 for it and even those prices can be ridiculous too cause it’s all dependent upon what Rx savings program✨I✨ can find (cause of course the patient has to put in all the work🖕🏾🙄). but this!? THIS S**T IS UTTERLY LUDICROUS! Y’all can’t possibly expect working class people to pay these prices YET ALONE folks like me on a fixed income.

So check this, lemme walk y’all through the process…

1st - it’s the consultation with Doc then you’re prescribed your Rx.

2nd - sent to the pharmacy of your liking to be filled.

3rd - notice of denial from the insurance.

4th - doctors are made aware of the denial and then have to submit appeals which include appointment summaries and proof🙄that you need the Rx. mind you (insider, the girls that get it, get it😂😉), this is typically a step repeated two or three times.

5th - final denial. that then leads to this 🐂💩

Chronic Fatigue causes more issues than you’d think. The obvious I can’t get up, I literally sleep all day, body stiffness from being in the bed for 18-20 hours a day, vision blurryness because sleeping for so long causes my optic neuritis to flare, worsening brain fog, and I don’t even have the strength to conjur up an appetite to eat.

All I want is to be awake more than 4-6 hours a day. And let’s not even get started on the money I’ve dished out for the
✨MS TREATMENTS✨😅

“it’s always don’t give up” & “you can do it” & though I appreciate the encouragement, we all (most chronically ill folks, I’m sure) appreciate the encouragement, but y’all this s**t is hard. Mentally we’re depleted and of course some of us are physically weak, and I absolutely hate that for us.

before I go, fun fu***ng fact: if you have federal health aid/insurance most copay assistance programs offered through Rx manufacturers you automatically don’t qualify for🙃

Rant Over. If you made it this far, I appreciate you for hearing me out & I love you😘

One Love.

non gentle reminder to those who love someone with a chronic illness…

just cause they don’t show their pain, doesn’t mean it’s not there. most of us can’t explain it and feel you won’t understand so we often respond “I’m fine” when indeed we are not fine.

🦋🧡

to have a partner who truly supports you in your illness and works just as hard as you to understand, AND research, plus make the tough ass sacrifices for your illness and it’s disabiling ability is the blessing I didn’t think I’d get. this girl is Heaven sent and I absolutely adore her.

thank you for taking on my journey as your own and commiting to selflessly helping me get through.

me loves you long time🤞🏾🥰

Depression is weird af. Sometimes my girlfriend is just sad. It used to offend me because I felt like I wasn’t making her happy or I would just keep asking her “what’s wrong” over and over again for her to give me the same response... “I don’t know”.
I’m learning tho. People with depression don’t need a reason to be sad. Read that last sentence again! Some days she’s just not motivated. It’s not my fault. It’s not her fault. Me asking her “what’s wrong” doesn’t make her feel any better. Depression is REAL and random for some people. People can really get into a dark place they can’t get out of. If you love someone with depression, my advice is to just love them patiently and unconditionally. The sad days are temporary. Her smile tho... I want that forever 😩🖤

You are not alone! Register now

happy pride month!🤞🏾
