Its World MS Day. I'll keep it brief given the state of the world, but MS affects every part of my life. The scariest thing I think is when I lose my fine motor skills and cant type or write. Doing things like this plant hanger help to combat the damage my body has done to itself https://t.co/91HltG9pAR
