Members warmly connected over whether they talk to their body or body parts when things aren't cooperating, with the overwhelming consensus being yes, and often with humor and colorful language. Several members shared creative approaches like coaching their legs to keep moving, expressing gratitude for what their body can do, and even naming limbs, while others mentioned that gentle massage and loving self-talk may help with pain and healing. A recurring theme was finding comfort and even laughter in this habit, with many feeling less alone knowing their community does the same thing.

I do I am crazy, lol and sometimes speak gratitude over my body and will say things like “thank you legs for working today “ and I will go through all of my body . There are theories that cells and organs are alive and can hear what we say . Is that true? Probably not , but just in case I want to be on their good side 😂

Yes I'd do all the time especially when my back and legs not working right. I cuss them at times but try not to. I mainly talk to God and ask him to help me with it all and tell him that I'm just trying to live & please help me

I try not to call my legs, hand and feet dumb. It's the MS that's dumb, but it surely be frustrating.
I do coach myself too like Laurie @A MyMSTeam Member. 🧡
