Summer and Multiple Sclerosis are not the best combination. Heat can worsen fatigue, slow you down and reduce the energy you have for the things that matter.

But a few simple changes can help:
✔ Plan your day during cooler hours
✔ Rest before you feel exhausted
✔ Stay hydrated
✔ Eat light meals
✔ Keep your room cool
✔ Use cooling methods like neck wraps, cool showers and fans

Remember -> you don’t have to do everything. Prioritise what matters and save your energy for that.

Take care of yourself this summer. Your health comes first. Always.

A story that brings visibility to an invisible condition.

Oppam is a Malayalam short film (with English subtitles) on Multiple Sclerosis released by the Multiple Sclerosis Society of India (MSSI), Thiruvananthapuram Chapter to raise awareness about MS and the realities of living with an invisible illness.

Through this film, we hope to inspire understanding, empathy and stronger support for people living with MS.

🎬 Watch the film on YouTube: https://youtu.be/0SKOoG8Sa_w
Please watch, share and help spread awareness.

കൂടെയുണ്ട് എന്നൊരു വാക്ക്... അതാണ് 'ഒപ്പം'
ചില പോരാട്ടങ്ങൾ പുറമെ കാണാൻ കഴിയില്ല. ചിരിച്ചുകൊണ്ട് സംസാരിക്കുമ്പോഴും ഉള്ളിൽ തളർന്നുപോകുന്ന ശരീരവും, ആരും തിരിച്ചറിയാത്ത വേദനകളും പേറി ജീവിക്കുന്ന ഒരുപാടുപേർ നമുക്കിടയിലുണ്ട്. 'മൾട്ടിപ്പിൾ സ്ക്ലിറോസിസ്' (Multiple Sclerosis) എന്ന രോഗാവസ്ഥയുമായി മല്ലിടുന്നവരുടെ ജീവിതം അത്തരത്തിലൊന്നാണ്.

അവരുടെ ഒറ്റപ്പെടലിനും അതിജീവനത്തിനും കരുത്തുപകരാൻ, മൾട്ടിപ്പിൾ സ്ക്ലിറോസിസ് സൊസൈറ്റി ഓഫ് ഇന്ത്യ (MSSI) തിരുവനന്തപുരം ചാപ്റ്റർ ഒരുക്കുന്ന ഹ്രസ്വചിത്രമാണ് ‘ഒപ്പം’.

ഇതൊരു സിനിമയല്ല, മറിച്ച് എം.എസ്. ബാധിതരായ ഓരോരുത്തരുടെയും ഉള്ളിലെ കരുത്തിന്റെയും ആത്മവിശ്വാസത്തിന്റെയും നേർക്കാഴ്ചയാണ്. അവരുടെ വെല്ലുവിളികൾ മനസ്സിലാക്കാനും അവർക്ക് ചേർത്തുപിടിക്കലുകൾ നൽകാനും നമ്മൾ ഒപ്പമുണ്ടാകണം. ഈ യാത്രയിൽ ആരും ഒറ്റയ്ക്കാവരുത് എന്ന വലിയൊരു സന്ദേശമാണ് ഈ കൊച്ചു ചിത്രം നൽകുന്നത്.

ഈ ചിത്രം കാണുക, മറ്റുള്ളവരിലേക്ക് എത്തിക്കുക. നമ്മുടെ അറിവ് ഒരാൾക്കെങ്കിലും ആശ്വാസമാകട്ടെ.

കൂടുതൽ വിവരങ്ങൾക്കും എം.എസ്. ബാധിതർക്ക് പിന്തുണ നൽകുന്ന പ്രവർത്തനങ്ങളിൽ പങ്കാളികളാകാനും MSSI വെബ്സൈറ്റ് സന്ദർശിക്കാവുന്നതാണ്: https://www.mssocietyindia.org/

“There is no temple greater than a compassionate heart.”

In this heartfelt video, Shanthala shares her journey as a caregiver to her son living with multiple sclerosis. Her story is a powerful reminder that MS is not always visible, but its impact is deeply felt, not just by individuals, but by entire families.

Through her experience at an awareness initiative by the Multiple Sclerosis Society of India, Rotary and Roche WalkInMyShoes, she reflects on what it truly means to walk in the shoes of someone living with MS.

Her message is simple, yet profound:
💛 A little understanding can go a long way
💛 A kind word can ease unseen pain
💛 Empathy can change lives

Let’s build a more compassionate and inclusive world for people living with invisible illnesses.
