ABOUT
I'm Mary Joan Cunningham and I created Thrive with MS. I started this site to share my journey and encourage others in transforming fear into empowerment surrounding any new health reality.
Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2014, I embrace both conventional medicine and complementary therapies. I'm on a journey, figuring things out, just like you. I've given myself this space to be candid and real. And if that can help others, yay.
I share resources and insights here to serve anyone facing a scary diagnosis.
We got this.
If you’re here for the first time, I suggest reading from the beginning (click here) but —hey, by all means — you do you and read however you want!
Did you know that those diagnosed with MS have a higher than average suicide rate? I learned this from health professionals at the National MS Society leadership conference.
That is why it's imperative to be connected to your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
In this video I am having a less than average day, but I share tools that I use to make it better.
(Spoiler alert: meditation is one of my tools. Shocker. ;)
