Alright, alright, I hold my hands up. I’ve been a bit of a fraud on this blogging front the past few months, neglecting my habit of writing incessant amounts of waffle, documenting my Bridget Jones style brushes with injuries/accidents and disasters, and importantly keeping the narrative flowing about my little ol’ journey with Multiple Sclerosis […] 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…

11. Misconceptions of MS

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.

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…
