my stumbles through life with ms
I’ve tried writing this a couple times, but admitting when I’m not living up to my own standards is hard. Right now I’m pondering the decision I’ve made to give up the ccma program I’ve been invested in since February. To be honest, the first couple of weeks should have…
This Friday is no longer brought to you by a flare! I’m feeling so much better. I woke up yesterday morning without that usual ache, the weather pattern around here is finally calming down, and I’m 99% sure I’m officially on the mend. After last weeks er visit, I’m grateful…
“Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.” Theodore Roosevelt April 8th,…
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I’ve had a lot going on, but didn’t want this week to pass before I brought up a couple of things. First up are the ignorant comments from Dr. Phil. He had the audacity to say 100 out of 100 care giving…
The anxiety has been real over here the last few weeks. If we’re really counting, I’ve noticed an uptick since my diagnosis. Increased anxiety after something like that is totally normal. However, I didn’t expect it to add to it. As Spring finally began to peek her head through Winter’s…

Recently, I was re-acquainted with a very old friend – grief. He is far from a stranger to me; I’ve lost many people in my short 27 years. Enough that I’ve developed some excellent coping mechanisms. That being said, losing someone never really gets easier. The initial shock doesn’t hit…
This Friday, as much as I hate to, I must quote Lil Wayne in saying, “Bitch, I’m feelin’ brand new.” I haven’t posted in a couple weeks, so here’s a short recap of why – I jumped right into the first half of my classes, experienced several more health stumbles,…
It’s been a really great week around here, despite getting the news about my dumb heart tests + monitor. I get that the tests aren’t necessarily stupid, ok, I just detest having to sport a monitor and carry a phone for a month, not to mention spending my Monday at…
