RISE ABOVE ANY DIAGNOSIS

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!

A Poem of Conemplation

January 07, 2018/ Mary Joan CUNNINGHAM

"Will I, will I, will I be able to walk?" she wonders. 

Or will I, will I, will I lose that in the future?

Moving

Since my diagnosis I've lived with my parents.
On a farm….In the Middle of Nowhere, TX.

The closest Starbucks is 45 minutes away. My favorite -- Whole Foods -- is an hour's distance.

It's been an interesting internal process deciding where the next move will be. Because, really, it could be anywhere.

Where have I been?
October 22, 2017

A very nice and concerned reader reached out to me a few months ago to ask how I was and wanted to make sure that the lack of posts wasn’t because i was sick. 

I wrote him back but it also seems like a fair topic to mention on the blog that I haven’t blogged on for quite some time.  

The shortest answer is...

Maybe some of us have a reaction to this word because we have a hard time envisioning (this enraging) Joy in our lives.

(Keep reading to see what would be a totally embarrassing video. That is, if I had any shame.)
