She made broken look beautiful and strong look invincible. She walked with the Universe on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings.” ― Ariana Dancu Do not bring people in your life who weigh you down.

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…
10. Sui Mai’s and Support Groups on Radio City Talk

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…
