Music soothes our MS beast  

We’ve made no secrets here about how much we LOVE music! From concerts with Train and O.A.R. to musicals like Wicked and movies like Xanadu (that’s right: Xanadu!), music is fundamental to who we are.

You didn’t think we’d talk about music and MS and not incorporate Springsteen, did you? So, how many times have YOU seen The Boss?

And what we enjoy.

And how we cope.

If you’re living with Multiple Sclerosis or another chronic illness, or, heck, with any other challenges of daily life, what gets you through? Really: What gets you through?

Perhaps it’s prayer. Maybe it’s exercise. Or it could be shopping, sleeping or spending time talking with friends and family.

For us, it’s music.

From the beats and melodies to the lyrics that speak to us where we are, it’s never let us down in our shared fight with MS.

We are among the “MS influencers” who Healthline reached out to for answers about what mantra we use to make it through the daily dealings with this disease.
