This is my second book review, but far from the last. I love reading, and this novella did not disappoint. …in abeyance is one of five books Kevin Byrne sent me. He is a veteran, a father, and a fellow MS Warrior. This book, just like the last one I reviewed, is very much a… Continue reading …in abeyance – My Review
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
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
If you follow me on Instagram, you know my weekend was a little haywire – you’d also have seen that I can’t talk much about it during the investigation. What I can say is that bad things happen to good people all. the. time. When trauma does occur in our lives, we have to be… Continue reading Dealing With Trauma
I first wrote this post a year ago, shortly after my diagnosis. I’ve learned, and changed, so much in that time. Living well with a chronic illness forces one to become a professional at becoming more in tune with our bodies and adapting. I felt the need to revisit this post, with my updated diet/lifestyle… Continue reading Overcoming MS – Revisited
This past week, I got the results of my most recent MRI. Among a couple other things which I address later, two new lesions made an appearance as well. Good news is they were subtle, and they’re not actively demyelinating. That basically means that while they’ve arrived in the last year, there isn’t any activity… Continue reading One Year MRI
The past couple of weeks have flown by around here. We attended a class called Relationship Matters, put on by the National MS Society. Its focus is on serious relationships with ms as a third wheel, and we definitely fall into that category. The facilitators of the class were excellent, and I can really say… Continue reading Feelings Check In
This month marks one full year that I’ve been on Plegridy. It’s an Interferon beta-1a used to treat Relapse Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. I inject it subcutaneously every 14 days. The last year has gone by quickly, but I’ll never forget it. When I first started Plegridy, I was just chomping at the bit to get… Continue reading One Year on Plegridy
