my stumbles through life with ms
Yesterday, I posted this on my Instagram. It’s a snip of a post I found on Pinterest. I suffered with weird symptoms for YEARS, and I also happen to suffer from two different autoimmune disorders, so this resonated with me. I have used this technique, years ago, with a provider…
The First Year of Marriage With MS Two days ago was my three year wedding anniversary – so why am I calling this The First Year? Because I got diagnosed with Relapse Remitting Multiple Sclerosis a little over a year ago, so I feel like this is our first full year…
This week did not get off to a pleasant start. Without going into too much detail, let’s just say I was the conductor of the hot mess express and my best friend is the craziest passenger of all. (this week) Every time I get stressed out, I get sick. This…
This time two years ago, disability advocacy would have never crossed my mind. I’ve always been the type to go out of my way to be polite and courteous to others; holding doors open, making sure the lady in the wheelchair can get through, walking delicately around the blind guy…

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 disabled population is the world’s largest minority of which anyone can become a part of at any time. For all of us who woke up one day and discovered we’d switched ships during the night, how true is this? Friday marked the beginning of March, and with it, the…
This week has been a fulfilling, exciting blur. Dr appointments, new job stuff, old job stuff, college classes, vocational program classes, and all the extra stuff life with MS brings filled my week up very quickly. I’m loving the new productivity I’m experiencing. It just feels good to get stuff…
