When I launched this blog, just under two weeks ago, I genuinely thought it would be a good way for my friends and family to understand my journey with MS and raise a little bit of awareness. Well blow me down…TODAY HAS BEEN SURREAL! Lying in bed dreaming of Tom Hardy and calorie free cake, […] Read more…
7. Sun, Sand and Nudist Beaches on Prescription
Nobody knows what causes MS, there are a few theories, but nothing has ever been proven. One thing that is evident though, is that there are less cases of MS, the closer you are to the Equator. For this reason, people believe that Vitamin D has something to do with it and it remains an […] Read more…
6. Bumpy Ride and Panda Eyes
So, I was home from hospital, slowly starting to look a little bit more like me, & doing my best to ditch the crutches and eye patch. I had been signed off work for another 4 months, and had already been off for nearly 3, so I was bored, ohhh so bored. Even when I […] Read more…
5. Fears and a Fake Moustache
It took a lot of thinking before I launched this blog. I was really worried about baring my innermost thoughts into the world wide web. I didn’t want people to treat me differently or feel sorry for me. I honestly feel very lucky in comparison to what others have to go through. When I went […] Read more…
4. Mini Meltdown Central
For some reason this has been the hardest post to write so far, I don’t really plan what I’m going to say until I start writing…I’ve re-read it 10 times and whilst it is probably my most personal yet, if it can make one person who may have the same thoughts think twice about how […] Read more…
3. No bath seats allowed.

My life was fun, happy and exciting, to me. From what started as a sore […] Read more…
2. It’s official, you have MS.
So sitting in the hospital bed after being told I had MS, was quite a surreal situation. The doctors all left and I sat there thinking, at least I haven’t got cancer, or a brain tumour and why didn’t I wear better pyjamas and have a blow dry. Yes, I clearly remember thinking, I need […] Read more…
1. When the girl who never got sick, got sick.
I’ve always been partial to a bit of blogging, it started in my twenties when I blogged under a pseudonym for years and then I tried my hand at blogging under my own name, but I just never really enjoyed it as much. So, making the decision to blog about my journey with Multiple Sclerosis […] Read more…
Let me introduce myself (Pre eye patches and zimmer frames)
I have always had a diary, admittedly sometimes it does get neglected, but if you flick through it, you could sort of catch the jist of my life for the past 10 years or so. I like reading and I like writing. But. I am not a writer. I don’t think about the structure of […] Read more…
