my stumbles through life with ms
Well… it’s been a while, y’all. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve heard a little about what took me away from here for so long. I’m grateful, and excited to say, life has slowed down a bit for me. I plan to share more about my extended absence in…
How has it already been five years? I remember half walking, half dragging the numb side of my body into the hospital in 2018. The day before my husband’s 30th birthday, incidentally. After a month of dealing with steadily worsening numbness, fatigue, and pain, amongst many other troubling symptoms. I…
Today, I’m talking about my Disease Modifier – Rebif. An Interferon injection I give myself 3 times a week; if you’ve been here for awhile, you know I’ve been on it for two years now. If anyone’s counting, that adds up to 312 times that I’ve injected in the last…
It has been SO long since I’ve posted anything – and with good reason. My last post dabbled into what we’ve been dealing with this last year or so, after the pandemic turned all of our lives upside down. It’s hard to know what to say when others are going…
I wasn’t expecting health issues other than MS to take a front seat so soon, but here we are. Today, I’m going over all my best tips + tricks for dealing a back injury and the pain that accompanies it. In my case, a slipped disc is the culprit. It…
Another year has come and gone – but this one looks a lot different than last, does it not? This post is a little late, as this anniversary came + went last month. Of course, more time just gives us more perspective. (that’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it.)…
This will be the first of a few posts this month. I’ve finally finished up a hectic semester amidst new, distracting circumstances. I wasn’t planning on doing a post dedicated entirely to the COVID-19 pandemic; I think you probably see quite enough of it in your news feed as it…
Like a lot of the rest of the world right now, I’m practicing social distancing. Being stuck in the house is nothing new for me, or a lot of the chronic illness community. Feeling well and isolating is new for me, though. As such, I’m finding new things to keep…
If you don’t have MS, or are newly diagnosed, you may be thinking – what in the world is a disease modifying drug? They’re also known as DMT’s, or disease modifying therapies. In the past, these drugs were used only for RRMS to help modify disease activity. Specifically, DMD’s have…
As I’m a little yeah I won’t pretend, I’m completely obsessed with my pets – I thought I’d spruce up another post from the past. Life with fur babies when you’re disabled is half hot mess and half unconditional love. Everyone who knows me knows I’m in love with my…
