Hello friends --How's YOU??  We have passed the unofficial start to summer: Memorial Day Weekend.  I had a FANTASTIC weekend - it was my birthday (same day as World MS Day - coincidence? Destiny??) and my girls and a ton of friends spoiled me all weekend.  What a treat!Let's take a gander into the world of MS, wanna??1.  Jenna Green worked for 15 yrs in corporate marketing, when she realized that she had to leave for the sake of her mental health! So she began working freelance – but the hustle culture, combined with chronic pain she experienced following a car accident, led her to a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis in 2016.

Jenna is now a patient advocate, content creator, consultant, and public speaker. She has used her experience in marketing to help bring awareness, support, education, and community to those who live with invisible illnesses, chronic pain, and fatigue, primarily on Instagram @thejennagreen. AND she’s devoted to helping to change public policy via her volunteer work with the MS Society. GO JENNA!  Listen to my interview of Jenna - right here:  Jenna Green's FUMS Pod interview

Sometimes it helps the stress, just to say "F-U-M-S"
