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…
When Meg from BBH posted on Insta about signed copies of her book up for grabs, I immediately jumped at the chance. I’ve told her this before, but I was reading her blog before I was even diagnosed. Many hours were spent digging deep into every post available on her…
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?…

I’m Bri, and I’m thriving with RRMS. Stumble Pup is my way of trying to find my way in the new community I find myself a part of, and to provide a little soft space to land for those struggling with MS or mental health issues. Basics first; I was…
I realize I haven’t done one of these in a freaking month and I have a million excuses, but none that really trump the importance of this for me. Not necessarily blogging, but writing in general. Connecting with others in the auto-immune realm is also really important…without Instagram and my…
