my stumbles through life with ms
A couple weeks ago, I asked my friends on Instagram what they would like to see on StumblePup about mental health and chronic illness. Their suggestions did not disappoint; everything from cost and accessibility, to medical PTSD and lack of information about the mental health connection in general from providers…
This is my second book review, but far from the last. I love reading, and this novella did not disappoint. …in abeyance is one of five books Kevin Byrne sent me. He is a veteran, a father, and a fellow MS Warrior. This book, just like the last one I…

So in my last post in this series, I went over what exactly MS is. In this installment, I’ll be going over some of the different types of MS. MS has four generally recognized courses. There are a few rarer types I’m not covering here in depth. I may be…
