 | iConquerMS @iConquerMS @MustStopMS @iConquerMS will be joining #ChatMS this evening! |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS @baldman36841 Hey there Douglas! #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS @iConquerMS Hey there! #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS How was everyone's weekend? We got some snow but it melted quickly. Oh, and I had a flat tire Sunday. #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS @luansills Hey there! #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS For those new to #ChatMS I will be posting the questions starting with Q1, Q2, etc. Please answer with A1, A2, etc. for the appropriate question. Also include the hashtag #ChatMS so everyone can see. And most importantly...Have fun! |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS @MyNieceTorpel I think we all procrastinate a little. Its OK :) #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS Tonight's topic should bring along some good discussion. We are talking about accepting the disease/diagnosis, which many of us haven't yet. Or if we think we have there are setbacks. Questions 1 coming right up! #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS Q1 – They say there are five steps to accepting an illness…Denial, Anger, Fear, Depression, and Acceptance. What step would you say you are on currently? #ChatMS |
 | MTerrenceJones @MTerrenceJones @MustStopMS My weekend was fine..still trying to get the Fergie monstrosity out of my head tho #chatms |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS @MTerrenceJones Oh yeah...that wasn't the greatest version ive heard haha. #ChatMS |
| iConquerMS @iConquerMS @MustStopMS A1 - I would say I am definitely on acceptance now. So many time I THOUGHT I was there and then major setback until eventually I started therapy and now I feel "stable" and on the same page as reality. #ChatMS |
| MTerrenceJones @MTerrenceJones @MustStopMS she was trying to do too much with that rendition..the players were clowning on the low #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS @CrowFavBird oh wow! #ChatMS |
 | A Life Less Traveled @mjwentink @MustStopMS I strive for acceptance, but I'm definitely not perfect. Instead of acceptance, I prefer to say "I've made peace" with having MS #ChatMS |
 | Dawn Melanie @DivaDawnMelanie @MustStopMS A1 - Acceptance. 20th year, 19 since diagnosis. Honestly, my life is prettty Dayyyym AWESOME! No work, plenty fun, routine dr visits. ("Stress-LESS") #ChatMS #PositiveVibesOnly #MSWarrior https://t.co/HAZDjPMlqT |
| iConquerMS @iConquerMS @mjwentink @MustStopMS I like that, that is better, made peace #ChatMS |
| MTerrenceJones @MTerrenceJones A1 at this point I have accepted it under protest #chatms https://t.co/Ir4LfbiQdK |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS Q2 – Does it ever feel like you are on multiple steps at the same time? Or have even taken a step backwards at times? #ChatMS |
 | Aleyna @AleynaMoreHuman A1: I got over denial fast. Now it's a sprinkling of everything else, every day. #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS A2- I think its normal to bounce from the different steps from time to time. As long as we keep aiming to climb. #ChatMS |
| iConquerMS @iConquerMS @MustStopMS A2 - looking back, even though I often felt I had come to terms, I was definitely on multiple steps, I WANTED to have come to terms but I hadn't, I was always "relapsing" back into depression and then anger mostly #ChatMS |
| MTerrenceJones @MTerrenceJones A2..i think years back early on in my MS journey there was the anger, depression and denial all wrapped up in one combo . now nearing 10 years not so much #chatms https://t.co/CHu3cEbfn4 |
 | Derrick L. Mincey @derrick_mincey @MustStopMS A1 - I gravitate between depression and acceptance...setbacks are a trigger...it's not easy to live with a body that fights itself. #ChatMS 🤔🤔 |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS Q3 – If you feel you have reached the step of accepting the diagnosis, how long did it take you to get there? What helped you the most in getting there? #ChatMS |
| Aleyna @AleynaMoreHuman A2: i think it's crazy to believe you can 'finish' with one emotional state and then simply move to the next. #ChatMS |
| iConquerMS @iConquerMS @makkydoll I feel like accepting that I had #MS was easy and it was quick, but it took me YEARS to "come to terms" with that reality, so, I feel like those are two different things? Accepting something and coming to terms with it? Not sure what the literature says haha... #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS @Aleynamorehuman I can agree with this. Emotions are not static. They are very dynamic. #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS RT @iConquerMS: @makkydoll I feel like accepting that I had #MS was easy and it was quick, but it took me YEARS to "come to terms" with that reality, so, I feel like those are two different things? Accepting something and coming to terms with it? Not sure what the literature says haha... #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS @makkydoll I havent watched that yet! I've been binge watching "The Office" haha. #ChatMS |
| Derrick L. Mincey @derrick_mincey @MustStopMS A2 - Sometimes circumstances outside of MS cause us to experience more negative aspects of MS symptoms because we are wired differently. We can experience all the phases in one day. #ChatMS 🤔🤔 |
 | Canes Fan 🇺🇸 @hcanes100 @MustStopMS A1 - Acceptance. Diagnosed in 2011, but to be honest, I didn't feel most, just acceptance. #ChatMS |
| iConquerMS @iConquerMS @MustStopMS A3 - this is where I have to define what *I* mean by acceptance. You see, accepting the diagnosis was quick, I wasn't in denial, but accepting that "this was my new life" took me years especially since my #MS was/is always changing #ChatMS |
| A Life Less Traveled @mjwentink @MustStopMS A3: I stopped chasing the ghosts of who I used to be and started to embrace who I am now - and can still be #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS RT @derrick_mincey: @MustStopMS A2 - Sometimes circumstances outside of MS cause us to experience more negative aspects of MS symptoms because we are wired differently. We can experience all the phases in one day. #ChatMS 🤔🤔 |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS Very True! #ChatMS https://t.co/j5APadlrui |
| iConquerMS @iConquerMS @makkydoll @MustStopMS That show is the best! #ChatMS |
| Canes Fan 🇺🇸 @hcanes100 @MustStopMS A2 - Only steps backwards were when had to change meds. Other than that, dreaded Insurance company denials. Dealing with Insurance puts me back to all the previous steps! #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS @hcanes100 Insurance companies are never fun! The stress in that alone is enough to cause problems. #ChatMS |
| Canes Fan 🇺🇸 @hcanes100 @MustStopMS A3 - Pretty quick, almost instantly because an answer to WHY things were happening made much more sense. Having a positive attitude helps, but a good relationship with GOD has helped me. #ChatMS |
| MTerrenceJones @MTerrenceJones A3.. i think it did take a couple years after that i felt there was no other option is to accept it (begrudingly). I have a wonderful woman who i have been with for 15 years now and she has been there since day one #chatms https://t.co/eJWNljzQZM |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS @TamaraZoqash Dealing with the mental aspect of MS can sometimes be worse than the physical. Talking to someone is very important. #ChatMS |
| Derrick L. Mincey @derrick_mincey @MustStopMS A3 - Once my symptoms got under control, it allowed me to accept that I have MS, but MS sure hell does not have me. I fight it in every way I can and that gives me strength. #ChatMS 🤔🤔 |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS Q4 – How do you know that you have reached the point of accepting? Alternatively, how do you know you have not reached that step? #ChatMS |
| Canes Fan 🇺🇸 @hcanes100 @MustStopMS A4 - I think it maybe different for each person, kinda like the disease itself, in each person has different unique ramifications. For me, it really only took one prayer session, I prayed and came back accepting. I'm not going to preach, but for me this is my story. #ChatMS |
| iConquerMS @iConquerMS @MustStopMS A4 - I don't feel like I am trying to force a life that I "feel I should have", instead, I am finally happy with the one I have and where it is going if that makes sense. I don't feel like I am "fighting the current" anymore. #ChatMS |
| Derrick L. Mincey @derrick_mincey @MustStopMS A4 - I accepted it years ago, but I fight it. I was recently diagnosed with a second auto immune disease, Neuromyelitis Optica. So, accepting and fighting are my strong points. 🤔🤔 #ChatMS |
| iConquerMS @iConquerMS @hcanes100 @MustStopMS I'll second this, everyone knows when THEY know, depression was a major issue for me so feeling like I finally have it under control after a decade is a major sign TO ME but maybe others don't feel like that is a primary issue #ChatMS |
 | Patty Long @MSenIt4life I am past all of it! Couldn’t deny it; never feared it. Anger & depression walked hand & hand.. more to do with others tho;not #MS #ChatMS https://t.co/Xzt9GVcLaI |

 | Seelie Kay @SeelieKay @MustStopMS Q1. Acceptance, but still fighting like the warrior princess I will always be! #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS Q5 – In your opinion, what could be done better to help those diagnosed with MS climb or deal with these steps easier? #ChatMS |
| Patty Long @MSenIt4life In terms ms of acceptance-no. With the disease-a gazillion times... ok, maybe not quite a gazillion. 😉❤️ #ChatMS https://t.co/v2sFZ6CGc0 |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS I think this is very common unfortunately. #ChatMS https://t.co/b237B64oYO |
| Seelie Kay @SeelieKay @MustStopMS Q3. Maybe 10 years? lol Seriously, I knew something was wrong. I just didn't know what. The diagnosis was hard to take, but after a third opinion, I shifting my focus to battling this #%$* disease! #ChatMS |
| iConquerMS @iConquerMS @MustStopMS A5 - I feel that therapy should be pushed by diagnosing doctors and I say this knowing that at the time of my DX (and years after) I would have probably said no way but once I finally did go it actually helped a lot despite me thinking it wouldn't #ChatMS |

| Aleyna @AleynaMoreHuman A5: This. ⬇️ #ChatMS https://t.co/v4XZn2KPgn |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS @iConquerMS I second this! I also think the mental aspect of the disease needs to be discussed in great length at time of diagnosis. #ChatMS |
| Canes Fan 🇺🇸 @hcanes100 @MustStopMS A5 - I have thought a bit about this. I believe some docs "jump" to an MS diagnosis to quickly in some cases. I have a friend that had 1 MRI, no LPs, & less than 6 months observation with neuro. 1 MRI! I think the standard to label it needs to be better refined by medical #ChatMS |
| iConquerMS @iConquerMS RT @Aleynamorehuman: A5: A5: This. ⬇️ #ChatMS https://t.co/v4XZn2KPgn |

| MTerrenceJones @MTerrenceJones A4. I think it is when I decided which medicine I originally decided..which I have moved from a three time a week shot to a daily pill #chatms https://t.co/6aeHR5RIPa |
| Canes Fan 🇺🇸 @hcanes100 RT @MustStopMS: I think this is very common unfortunately. #ChatMS https://t.co/b237B64oYO |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS Q6 – Have you discussed your different emotions with your neurologist, a therapist, or other specialist? What was their advice? #ChatMS |
| Derrick L. Mincey @derrick_mincey @MustStopMS A5 - I think the newly diagnosed and their family members should have group counseling and ongoing education seminars to share information and support. It takes awhile to understand MS. #ChatMS 🤔🤔😔 |

| iConquerMS @iConquerMS @MustStopMS I feel like the mental detriment of this disease can be just as bad as the physical at time yet hardly any attention is given to it... #ChatMS |
 | PBW @Hawks50_2 @MustStopMS I kinda made it yay me! #ChatMS |
| Seelie Kay @SeelieKay @MustStopMS Q5. Earlier intervention from a social worker to explain what resources were available. I was very much on my own, fighting through red tape & the myriad of treatment options. Felt like someone just slapped an IV into my arm & started pumping steroids w/out explanation. #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS This! #ChatMS https://t.co/SWeEx5wixF |
| Patty Long @MSenIt4life @derrick_mincey @MustStopMS Definitely triggers frustration in me. I try to use my frustration now as a way to build my energy levels; #pedal it away! #ChatMS |

| Seelie Kay @SeelieKay @MustStopMS Q4. When I started sighting to find a cure. #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS I think its safe to say we all think more can be done by medical professionals at time of diagnosis for support, explanations, and other things. We can change this! #ChatMS |
| PBW @Hawks50_2 @MustStopMS Weekend was nice. Today was a busy one. My 2 yr old made sure of it. Trying to teach her we don't take diapers off in the crib especially when they are dirty! #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS @Hawks50_2 ewww. have fun! #ChatMS |
| Derrick L. Mincey @derrick_mincey @MustStopMS A6 - I always discuss my mental health issues with my Neurologist and Primary Care Physician. MS is about physical and mental health concerns. They keep suggesting medication, but I decline. I use alternatives. #ChatMS 🤔🤔 |
| Canes Fan 🇺🇸 @hcanes100 @SeelieKay @MustStopMS I can't stand the IV steroids..... It seems to be the goto flare up answer and sometimes, for me at least, it was worse than the flare. #ChatMS |
| MTerrenceJones @MTerrenceJones A5 ask for help early on. Create your support system. There is a bigger community out there who are in a similar situation #chatms https://t.co/A2NoLYjkoN |
| PBW @Hawks50_2 @MustStopMS Yeah thanks 🙄#ChatMS |
 | Senator @SlobodzianSteve RT @iConquerMS: @MustStopMS A5 - I feel that therapy should be pushed by diagnosing doctors and I say this knowing that at the time of my DX (and years after) I would have probably said no way but once I finally did go it actually helped a lot despite me thinking it wouldn't #ChatMS |

| iConquerMS @iConquerMS @MustStopMS A6 - it never really got any further than "I am feeling really depressed" when I spoke to my neurologist... I finally had my breaking point moment and called the mental health line on the back of my insurance card to see what I had to do to find a therapist to talk to #ChatMS |
| Patty Long @MSenIt4life @luansills @MustStopMS Husband’s are the last to see, but do it if for no other reason than to prove to yourself you can finish. I kinda have too a lot.🤣 #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS This! You are NEVER alone! #ChatMS https://t.co/JQ7Iav8n96 |
| Canes Fan 🇺🇸 @hcanes100 @MustStopMS or change doctors that will be willing to listen. I had to fire one of my doctors. I say fire, yes you can fire your doctor. #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS @derrick_mincey Alternatives such as MMJ, or like meditation? #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS @prewdenze The fear of the unknown will never go away. At least for me. #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS RT @hcanes100: @MustStopMS or change doctors that will be willing to listen. I had to fire one of my doctors. I say fire, yes you can fire your doctor. #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS @hcanes100 I too had to switch neurologists. #ChatMS |
| iConquerMS @iConquerMS @hcanes100 @SeelieKay @MustStopMS Ask your neurologist about Acthar gel if you haven't already, that is what I usually use but it is REALLY HARD to get (prior authorization fun...) #ChatMS |
| Seelie Kay @SeelieKay @MustStopMS Q6. Yes. Mostly w/the social worker because I was a single mom w/a child and I needed to get all my ducks in a row. #ChatMS |
| PBW @Hawks50_2 @MustStopMS A1- Acceptance. I skipped denial cuz I knew what I was feeling. Fear comes and goes. Depression I don't get cuz I have amazing support around me. My parents are in denial though. #ChatMS |
| Canes Fan 🇺🇸 @hcanes100 @iConquerMS @SeelieKay @MustStopMS I will. Thanks for the info. #ChatMS |
| PBW @Hawks50_2 @MustStopMS Q2- Definitely. It changes sometimes. #ChatMS |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS @brucegann750 I used to keep a lot of stuff in. Then realized i was stressing myself out more that way. #ChatMS |
| Patty Long @MSenIt4life Over 3 years to stop a very active MS. Once I was put on the right #DMT for me & started PT, I was able to restart my life. #ChatMS https://t.co/OXe9xdQq9w |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS Q7 – What tips or advice can you offer to those with MS who are having difficulty in accepting it or climbing the different steps? #ChatMS |
| iConquerMS @iConquerMS @MustStopMS @prewdenze That's something I realized is just part of life but of course it's a larger part when U have MS. Part of coming 2 terms with MS (for me) was coming 2 terms with the fact that I can only plan so far ahead & that I have to learn to live with unknowns. easier said than done #ChatMS |
| MTerrenceJones @MTerrenceJones A6. I did speak with the neuro and told him i wanted to switch from Rebif to Gilenya. Never really liked the poking of the needle and the periodic bumps and soreness and it was distracting.He gave me advice on the pros and cons of each and that is when I decided to switch #ChatMS https://t.co/4xUeDvOdgg |
| PBW @Hawks50_2 @MustStopMS A3- My belief in G-d that I have this for a reason and that only He can make me better and being grateful I don't have a disease that is life threatening. #ChatMS |
| Patty Long @MSenIt4life @Aleynamorehuman Me too. I don’t think it goes in any order and I’m sure it circles around just like everything #MS ❤️🤣 #ChatMS |
| Seelie Kay @SeelieKay Re roids: I won't take them anymore. Last time, I went down the rabbit hole and almost didn't make it out the other side. Never again. #ChatMS https://t.co/71JTNGS2Nf |
| A Life Less Traveled @mjwentink @MustStopMS I think, much as MS impacts each of us differently, we each take our own path to acceptance/making peace with MS. There is no right answer. But, IMO, being surrounded by love & positive energy certainly helps #ChatMS |
| PBW @Hawks50_2 @MustStopMS Took me a while though like a year or so #ChatMS |
 | christian . @dearest_monster @MustStopMS A1 #chatMS acceptance. It is what it is |
| iConquerMS @iConquerMS @MustStopMS A7 - Something I think we take for granted that got me where I am today is social media; there are so many support groups on Facebook (for example), talking to people in the same boat helps, especially when you don't have to wait 2 weeks to talk to someone #ChatMS |

| Seelie Kay @SeelieKay @MustStopMS Q7. You are your best advocate. Ask questions and insist on answers. Don't be afraid to refuse or challenge treatment choices. Docs are human and they are only part of the solution. They are not Gods. And yes, they make mistakes. Surrender is not an option...to anyone. #ChatMS |
| christian . @dearest_monster @MustStopMS A2 #chatMS forever forward, no matter how slow. |

| PBW @Hawks50_2 @MustStopMS A4 - that's a hard one. Maybe when I have a symptom and I don't get angry about it. But that's a really deep question! #ChatMS |
| Patty Long @MSenIt4life RT @mjwentink: @MustStopMS A3: @MustStopMS A3: I stopped chasing the ghosts of who I used to be and started to embrace who I am now - and can still be #ChatMS |
| Derrick L. Mincey @derrick_mincey @MustStopMS A7 - Make sure you have the right diagnosis. Ask questions of your Neurologist. Find a support group and connect with other MSers. Do research. Fight MS every step of the way. Find something good in your life and focus on that. Never Give Up! #ChatMS 🤔😏😉 |
| PBW @Hawks50_2 @MustStopMS A5 - I think it's impossible to reach that right away. It's gonna take time to work through and everyone is different. So I don't thinks there's a set way to deal with it. #ChatMS |

| Seelie Kay @SeelieKay I will never do self-injectables ever again! #ChatMS https://t.co/qfJ4pPb5vW |
| A Life Less Traveled @mjwentink @MustStopMS In fact, in my latest MS & ME radio podcast, I discussed how the movie "Groundhog Day" was very similar to my own path of acceptance. Really!🙃😂#chatms https://t.co/cp833jJuKg |
| Patty Long @MSenIt4life @luansills @MustStopMS I knew I’d eventually hear about the dude in that damn white coat! 😂😂🤣🤣❤️❤️ #ChatMS |
| christian . @dearest_monster @MustStopMS A7 #chatMS quicker acceptance happens quicker you can move on to changing the things in your life to improve it. MS controls you as much as you allow it. |

| Patty Long @MSenIt4life You’re a happy person again. ❤️😁 #ChatMS https://t.co/rDrYANcBre |
| iConquerMS @iConquerMS @SeelieKay Out of curiosity, what is it (for you) that has you so turned off to needles? Bad experience? #ChatMS |
| christian . @dearest_monster @MustStopMS A5 #chatMS honest and frank conversations about things that could happen. Denying possible outcomes doesn't help anyone. |
| Must Stop MS! @MustStopMS Thanks for a great chat everyone. It's amazing to have an amazing support system. Thanks for all you do. Remember, we are never alone! Have a great week! #ChatMS |
| PBW @Hawks50_2 @MustStopMS A6 - a few hrs after I was diagnosed I was crying in the neurologist's office and she asked my hubby if I had a history of depression. Excuse me! I got a phone call telling me I had MS. Ever since then I haven't spoken abt emotions with drs. #ChatMS |
| Seelie Kay @SeelieKay @iConquerMS I was the kid who fainted when she got a shot. Having to inject myself--even with an autoinjector--was traumatic. Had relatives do it for a while, but that didn't help much. Also needles were not practical w/my lifestyle. I was never home in time! #ChatMS |
| iConquerMS @iConquerMS @SeelieKay Oh I see, then yeah, forget Acthar, there is not an auto injector thing, just a needle! #ChatMS |
| Patty Long @MSenIt4life I think this depends on what shape they’re in at dx.I had no one; legs,arms,comprehension &vision gone;a person would’ve been nice. #ChatMS https://t.co/eIiQigpblZ |
| Patty Long @MSenIt4life I third it! #ChatMS https://t.co/FTJAsouF6O |
 | Tiffany Ann @wolves_mom I rotate through each of them constantly #ChatMS https://t.co/eoBTSIBDDB |
| Patty Long @MSenIt4life @luansills @MustStopMS Maybe people with MS need to create some sort of handout. I dunno... I think it’s going to rest on our shoulders to be done. #ChatMS |

 | Pajama Daze @PajamaDaze RT @MustStopMS: Q1 – They say there are five steps to accepting an illness…Denial, Anger, Fear, Depression, and Acceptance. What step would you say you are on currently? #ChatMS |
