I’m guessing I’m not the only one who is lying in bed being British moaning about the hot weather and not being able to sleep. This heats amazing, but for us MS’ers it can really play havoc…think I mentioned how if I get too hot my eyes just go all blurry and I can’t see…it […] Read more…
20. Reality check for Rach
I’m not ashamed to admit that one of my biggest faults is putting things I don’t want to deal with in an imaginary box, putting the imaginary lid on it and forgetting about it. I’ve had a great few months, holidays, good times with lovely people and most importantly no relapses. I’ve actually felt the […] Read more…
18. Sangria & Sunshine…1 year on.
Vitamin D is definitely good for the soul (& us MS’ers) isn’t it. This time last year I was still learning to walk properly and fast forward to now, another amazing holiday with the girls and I’m dancing on a beach. So it was worth the hard work and staying as positive as I did […] Read more…
17. When your best friend gets MS…
So it’s #Msawarenessweek and my best friend and #mswarrior (no more hashtags from now on, I promise!) has asked me to write a little something about what it’s like when your bestie gets diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis…. So anyone that knows or has ever known Rachel will tell you she’s a high flying, never stops, […] Read more…
16. Planes & PDA’s
Seems like lately the only time I have to write a post is when I’m sat on a plane. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining about that, it beats sitting on a cramped train with some strangers knees pressed against your leg. I’ll never understand this. A slight annoyance of mine can you tell? […] Read more…
15. All you need is love…and an Ice Bucket.
Travelling gives me such a buzz. Makes me take the time to just sit and appreciate the small stuff. I’ve been working in Dublin this week, after what can only be described as the best wedding I’ve ever been to in my life in Majorca. My beautiful friends Alana and David (that’s them looking dapper […] Read more…
14. I’m leavin’ on a jet plane…
Sometimes I forget what day it is, never mind that I have MS. And that’s been the case for the past week and a bit. Life has taken over, works been manic, I’ve been enjoying a burst of energy, minimal symptoms and having fun. Fun is important isn’t it, its way up there on my […] Read more…
13. Rachel VERSUS The Super Clever Neurologist
So I went for my half hour neurology appointment yesterday, which ended up being 2.5hrs long by the time I got out, what can I say, I like to ask questions… Sitting in the waiting room I was looking round at everyone else waiting not really feeling like I was in “their boat” if that […] Read more…
12. Medic-ally Blonde
So, by now you will have read that MS has no cure. The only treatment that is on offer is something called Disease Modifying Therapies (DMTs)… what these guys do is potentially reduce the chance of you having a relapse/attack and they could slow down the progressiveness of your MS. Did you notice that I […] Read more…
11. Misconceptions of MS
So, when I write and publish a post on here, I don’t actually think who is going to read it. I genuinely am surprised when someone tells me they have! I’ve been a bit quiet the past few days, and this has mainly just been due to life taking over a bit, in a good […] Read more…
