    One Month on Rebif

    This is post going to be fairly short and sweet. In my previous post about Rebif, I went over a lot of the basics about it. Today is going to be a quick update on how the past two weeks, and titration up, have been treating me. I just completed…

    One Week on Rebif

    When I was first diagnosed, I struggled to find first hand introductory experiences with DMD’s. Just a month into my ms journey, I started on Plegridy.  For a year, I was so sick. I mean, really sick. I couldn’t eat, I had the chills and shakes almost 2/7, and my…

    What’s This Mean?

    This week, I received two pieces of awesome news. I was asked by a teacher to speak at IUPUI next semester on MS and Exercise, and I was asked to submit an audition video for a web series on rrms. Stumble Pup is movin’ on upppp. What does this mean?…

    Giving In

    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…

    Stumbly Feelings

    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…

    All These Feelings

    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…

    Because I Missed Friday Feelings

    Today, as I was searching through degree maps and generally planning out the next couple of semesters, a thought struck me that hasn’t in a while. Who am I? Not in that spooky existential way – that I don’t have time or brain capacity to discuss in ten lifetimes. Life…

    Feelin…Brand New

    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,…

    New Circumstances, New Feelings

    I know it’s almost never Friday when I post these, so this week, it’s just Feelings. I’m feeling a ton at once, so no specific focus this week either. This post is about as scattered as my mind lately. Somehow, another month has passed me by without posting on here…
