Last week I went viral on Instagram. A carousel I posted reached more than 65,000 people. And more than 1,500 people shared it. Fifteen thousand people sent this post about MS to a friend or family member. That's mindblowing to me.

And here's the interesting thing about it… they didn't share it because they learned something new about MS. They shared it because, for the first time, they had words for something they'd been trying to explain for years.... what it actually feels like to live with MS in the summer.

Not just the physical symptoms. The grief of missing out. The guilt of changing family plans. And the exhaustion of constantly wondering whether people believe you.

This is the conversation you won't get at your doctor's office. But it's exactly what your MS Sisters are here for.

My MRI results are in.

And I'm incredibly grateful to tell you that 10 years after my diagnosis, everything remains stable.

But after sharing the good news, I found myself wondering something I think a lot of women with MS wrestle with...

If my MRI is stable, why do I still have symptoms?

In this episode, we're talking about what "stable" actually means, why stable and symptom-free are not the same thing, and the gap that so many women with MS are trying to navigate every day.
