my stumbles through life with ms
Well… it’s been a while, y’all. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve heard a little about what took me away from here for so long. I’m grateful, and excited to say, life has slowed down a bit for me. I plan to share more about my extended absence in…
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…
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…
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…

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…
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…
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…
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…
