Some people might wonder, "Hey, Fengo. Why the orange heart?"

Here's why: Multiple sclerosis.
The ribbon for MS is orange. MS is a potentially debilitating disease of the central nervous system. The immune system attacks & destroys the myelin coating of the nerves. (Can... (1/?)
...be compared to stripped wires.) It is a lifelong disease that has no cure. It can affect many different parts of the body. Even something as simple as holding a pen & writing. There are many medicines to help control MS. But they don't stop disease progression or... (2/?)
...relapses. They just reduce the severity of relapses.

Living with this disease is hell. I'm tired, can't remember even the simplest of tasks sometimes, am easily irritable at times, etc. I'm taking Ocrevus for the MS. I don't want to live this way. But I have no choice.
I want to spread awareness for this disease. It seems many people don't know about it or don't care about it. Especially within the furry fandom. Seems all furries care about is ALS. I'm glad people are raising money for it. But I just wish it wasn't ALS every time someone...
...does a fundraiser. I've only seen a fundraiser for MS once since my diagnosis in 2016; almost 5 years ago. And it hurts..
