I’m frustrated right now. I feel bad every single day. It’s been about three months of whatever this is. I feel nauseous. Exhausted. My ears are ringing. My head hurts more often than not. Sometimes it hurts to breathe. My numbness is not worse, but more regular. So mostly, nothing significant, but all together-ahhhh! Maybe … Continue reading My Check Engine Light is On
I apologize for the lack of writing or responding to things on here. I’ve just been in a really strange headspace lately, and I didn’t really feel like writing because I thought it would be a little bit darker than the way that I like to portray myself. I’ve been negative and “down” (that’s the … Continue reading Headspace
I was recently asked to share my story about how I have prevailed in some aspect of my life. This was shared on social media and I am so excited about the feedback I have received. I have made new friends in women that have reached out to talk, and connected with old friends who … Continue reading She Prevails
I share much less with my social media following than my blog, but today I gave them a little Wednesday Wisdom. I like to let them know what is going on. I like them to understand more about MS. Before I was diagnosed, I did not understand the disease or what it was, and especially … Continue reading I have MS, but MS doesn’t have me

I have been quiet on this transition with most everyone, but today I get to meet with my new neurologist for the first time, and I am both excited and nervous about this. I am thankful that my switch to a new neurologist is not a result of worsening … Continue reading Out With The Old, In With The New
When I was diagnosed with MS, it didn’t really take me that long to be able to talk about it. There were a couple months of crying to myself with my close friends and family, and then I would slowly start to talk about it with other friends who maybe weren’t as close. I needed … Continue reading Mommy has MS
It’s 6:30am and I have been in bed for about 30 minutes delaying getting up. I’m heading to St Louis with my mom and my boys today so that I can see my brother, SIL and their girls. I am so excited. But I am also annoyed. My left arm and left knee are really … Continue reading Symptomatic Saturday
For some reason people are so eager to learn about my diagnosis with MS. It is so funny to me because I absolutely do not care. The people who ask do surprise me, but never offend me. But at the same time, it was easily the worst day of my life. So why are so … Continue reading My MS diagnosis
