"In a few words, MS is ___________."


​Multiple sclerosis has a medical definition.
But that definition can never fully explain what it feels like to live with it,
love someone with it, care for someone with it,
or have your life changed by it.
​
So we're asking you.
How would you define MS in just a few words?

YOUR WORDS

For the record, there is no right answer. 

Maybe, for you...

MS is unpredictable.
MS is learning to adapt.
MS is invisible until it isn't.
MS is one day at a time.
MS is aggressively inconvenient.
MS is finding strength I never asked to find.
​
Your answer can be serious.
Funny.
Angry.
Hopeful.
Messy.
Beautiful.
One word or a few.
​
We just want it to be yours.

HERE'S WHAT YOUR WORDS COULD WIN...

Sharing your truth is reason enough.
But we'd also love to say thank you.

Everyone who submits an eligible response will have the opportunity to be selected for prizes from AwareNow.

​ONE BLANK.
​THOUSANDS OF TRUTHS.

MS can be difficult to explain.
It can be invisible and impossible to ignore.
Predictable one day and completely unpredictable the next.
Frustrating. Funny. Exhausting. Transformative. Lonely. Unifying.
And no two people experience it exactly the same way.

That's why AwareNow is inviting the MS community to help us create a different kind of definition. Not one written by a textbook.
One written by us.

MS isn't always easy to describe,
and neither are the symptoms.
Here are a few MS symptoms in Allié's words...
