MS shouldn’t stop your summer fun

Hooray! Summer officially arrives Wednesday, June 21.

That means school’s out, warmer weather, beaches, and suntan lotion, as well as family fun, vacations and reunions. But when you’re living with Multiple Sclerosis (or any other chronic illness), summer fun isn’t as simple as it used to be.

We had the opportunity to share our “7 Suggestions for Summer Fun with Chronic Illness” on the Mango Health Blog. Check them out to see how you can get the most out of your summer despite your chronic illness.

Here are some of the ways we’ve already started to follow our own advice in the weeks leading up to the official start of summer.

We enjoyed our first Great Lakes Loons baseball game during the Central Michigan University Alumni Night at Dow Diamond. Did you see the key word: Night? It’s cooler then so we could avoid the heat of the sun 🙂
Again, fun outside at night AFTER the sun goes down.

And we’re planning to see Train and O.A.R. in concert outside on June 25 in the evening. Other than eating ice cream, finding ways to avoid the heat of the afternoon sun is the top piece of advice we can share.

Please follow up with us and let us know your tips for having summer fun.
