Welcome to my blog, all about my life with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). My writing is mostly powered by coffee and a lack of sleep! This is a place for me to share my thoughts about what it’s like to live with a chronic illness – trying to be a good Mum to my two lovely monsters kiddies, whilst working part-time and trying not to fall asleep.
I share healthy recipes, blog about being a ‘spoonie’ parent (read this if you are unsure what cutlery has to do with Multiple Sclerosis!) and other random things that I find myself encountering as I meander – or stumble – my way through life with MS.
SO, WHAT IS MS?
Multiple Sclerosis is a neurological condition with many different symptoms, which can present differently for everyone diagnosed and that can change over time. I have difficulties with fatigue, spasticity and walking. Have a look at the useful info-graphic below. In addition, a great place for further information about MS in the UK is the MS Society, check out their page here.
There are so many symptoms in MS, so obvious and many no-so-obvious. This is another great infographic explaining just how many MS symptoms may go unseen; it truly is an often invisible illness:
I hope that you find this information useful! Keep checking back as I will be updating this page as time goes by with more Multiple Sclerosis info.
