Mental health is such a hot topic for people living with chronic illness. Just do a quick google search, and you will see what I mean. It’s one of the first things that came up in my neurology intake appointment after I described my physical symptoms. Because it’s something I struggled with long before my… Continue reading Mental Health and Chronic Illness
It has been SO long since I’ve posted anything – and with good reason. My last post dabbled into what we’ve been dealing with this last year or so, after the pandemic turned all of our lives upside down. It’s hard to know what to say when others are going through so much. But a… Continue reading 3 Years with MS
This will be the first of a few posts this month. I’ve finally finished up a hectic semester amidst new, distracting circumstances. I wasn’t planning on doing a post dedicated entirely to the COVID-19 pandemic; I think you probably see quite enough of it in your news feed as it already is. However, as time… Continue reading A Calm Quarantine – COVID 19 Isolation Ideas
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 came up. Rest assured, I… Continue reading Depression and Multiple Sclerosis

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 site. It’s a real goldmine… Continue reading Segway Into My New Life, A Story of Diagnosis – My Review
Ok, fair warning, this is going to be a very long post, unlike the last. Not just because there are a ton of MS symptoms, but because this deserves a spotlight. A lot of our symptoms are invisible. I don’t think this subject should be. Moving on to the fun stuff – insert eyeroll emoji,… Continue reading All The MS Symptoms
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 week four, and my final… Continue reading One Month on Rebif
I juggle a lot of hats in life – some I chose, and others were thrust on me. As if being a wife, fur momma, blogger, licensed beauty professional, and ms warrior weren’t enough, (amongst my other autoimmune and medical conditions) I’m also a college student. I’m currently about three weeks from starting the Fall… Continue reading 10 Tips for Students With Disabilities – Prepping for College
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 able to cover those later… Continue reading The Different Types of MS
