Mending Broken Connections
On the eve of World MS Day, let’s talk about the importance of staying connected and mending those broken connections
Reconnecting
The importance of connections cannot be overstated, and many people take them for granted. It is often confused with Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) Syndrome. Joni Mitchell sums it up beautifully in her song “Big Yellow Taxi” –
“Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone…”
I aM Someone Campaign
MS is different for each person impacted by it. They experience different symptoms, with different degrees of severity for different amounts of time. There is no one way to ‘have’ MS, there is no one way to live with MS. Our aim is to showcase a range of experiences so people will better understand that MS is a very individual condition.
