my stumbles through life with ms
So I’ve had this odd habit of popping my hip in and out since I was a kid…anytime I was standing still, I could feel this little bone popping in and out of place when I moved just right. Little did I know, this quirky subluxation would end up helping…
I wish I had some upbeat, informational post to share with you today. I wanted to do a post on EDS, ableism in the chronic illness community, and others this month…I still hope to get another one out, but, we’ll see. So why am I here? Just to say –…
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…

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…
