MS Awareness Fact: We Need Resources to Live Better

March is MS Awareness Month and what most people are unaware of is that those of us living with MS need resources to live better.

In fact, there is a complete lack of free resources to help people deal with the emotional impact of diagnosis or the cumulative effect on mental health after years of living with an unpredictable and life-changing disease. We need resources to learn stress management and coping strategies and guidance on how to mentally transition to living life with a chronic illness.

There are a lot of free resources to help with financial assistance, and services and programs to help with the challenges of daily living and support. I think if those of us in the MS community share our resources that it will benefit all of us. If you have any, please share in the comments😀

What I am asked the most is how I got approved for SSDI so quickly. Luck probably but I think being well prepared helped. The SSDI Checklist and the ADL Questionnaire are, in my opinion. the most important guidelines to have when filing to assure that you have the required paperwork and evidence needed to apply.

I compiled a list of free resources of organizations that provide MS programs, services, grants, treatment information, support, and more. Here is the article with all the links if you are interested- https://mswellnessproject.com/ms-awareness-fact-we-need-resources-to-live-better/
