We are in a war against our bodies – this is multiple sclerosis
It feels as if I’m living in a virtual Trouble board game merged with Operation… My Pop-O-Matic die roller is broken and I have been sent back to start more times than warranted. My Operation doctor is still working to determine which nerves have been cut. Is it the train of thought nerve? The vision nerve? The speech nerve? The funny bone nerve? No one knows.
Don’t let multiple sclerosis hold you back
I can guarantee you that in your trying to accomplish something you are going to feel like a failure at some point…maybe even more than once or twice. Don’t give up on living.
MS bladder issues, when it rains it pours
Don’t give up hope on ways to manage your bladder issues. There’s always a solution. Maybe not the one you want, but one that will make life easier for your already complicated life.
Memories worth sharing
Do you remember the last laugh you shared? Those are memories you never want to forget. It could be something silly, nonsensical or even something that no one understood but it gave you a big laugh and maybe even a snort or two. LOL
I need to declutter my brain
Rise up and work to overcome every obstacle multiple sclerosis throws at you. It is relentless and always trying to trip you up. It’s pretty good at it and has had years to perfect its chaos.
MS symptoms are more faithful than friends
You never know when a symptom will show up and decide to hang out with you. Sometimes they are more faithful than your friends.
Driving with hand controls
As many of you know, eight years ago I came close to giving up on ever driving again. I had trouble managing the gas and brake pedals with my numb legs and feet.
I’m not okay and that’s okay
I wish I had a magic wand to make multiple sclerosis go away. To make the stress of living day in and day out with MS easier. To make carrying the huge burden it causes in your life lighter.
What people with MS would love to hear
It’s only natural when a loved one is going through a health struggle like MS, we want to support them in any way possible.
1. Simplify your life.2. Watch your thoughts. What goes in, comes out.
3. Surround yourself with positive people.
4. Take time for yourself, even if it means saying "no" to others.
5. Be grateful, laugh and celebrate life.
6. Think more about what you have as opposed to what you don't have.
7. Help others.
