Well MS it is then!!

I know it's been a long time since my last post but I've had a lot of stuff to process! It's been a long year 🙉. 

Well it's official, I do have MS but it's not all doom and gloom peeps. Don't get me wrong, it's been no picnic either but from what I've learned about myself this year is that I'm one tough cookie!

My version of MS is quite mild, if there is such a thing as mild MS, but I've got a good prognosis! As for it stopping me from doing anything, not a chance, started up Judo again. Nothing like venting your MS anger out on unsuspecting victims lol! Managing it well, probably because I've learned that it's OK to chill and have some me time, that's the thing peeps, you need to rest and look after yourself. OK, with two healthy and active munchkins it's easier said than done when your on your own but I have an awesome support network with friends and family, and believe me they are awesome!!!

I started my medication today, lets just say that I haven't slept in days worrying about it! The thing is, I don't know what I was worrying about as it's a piece of cake, OK it's only the first day but so far so good :-). I'm on Copaxone daily injections although I'm moving on to 3 day a week injections. The most awesome thing about is that you need those bingo wings and love handles for the injections, so for all you MS girlies out there, work on those love handles and bingo wings cos your gonna need them!!

Life is a risk and then you die!

  So this week has been abit of a crap week, we all caught stupid coughs and colds which is all we had but was enough to make us come to a stop and feel rubbish. Still not 100% but we'll get over it, just remind me never to jinx myself by saying I never get ill cos I only went and did 🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂! At least my immune system is working how it needs to though right! It's the cold and flu season, we're all going to get something or other and I suppose with us not mixing with people like we usually do and then going back to work and school which for me I love, we're bound to catch things. Somehow, I think this is going to be a long winter 🤦🏻‍♀️ but it's not that's bothered me this morning. My son really struggled to sleep last night, he's a little thinker which in a way is a good thing, he's a smart lad so him learning to think outside a box is good 😊. What's bothered him is the time that he's missed with his family, his friends although he's

MS...really? Ok, where do I begin? I'm hoping by writing this, it will help other people going through what I'm going through.  This morning as I left the neurologists office I felt a sense of relief...relief is probably not the word that some would use but to me it was, I'm not a hypochondriac! ! My symptoms started about 2 years ago when I started a new career but in a job I love!! My right side from my foot to my abdomen started started burning and I lost all sense of feeling and went numb, I was that numb I burnt myself because I ran a scolding hot bath!! After going to the doctors they thought I had shingles but without the rash. This subsided after about 6 weeks and only flared up for a day or so for a few months after. I always felt tired, even after some sleep but I'm a mummy to two munchkins and a not so good sleeper of a toddler. Fast forward 18 months later and I had started a new job, not stressed just enjoying the job :-). I woke up one mild Oc

Time really does fly!

Well they say that time flies, it most definitely does!   Hello old friend, it has been a while, how's life you might ask? Well pull up a chair and I will tell you...now where do I start; it has been 3 years...   Firstly, the covid debacle has ended, had it twice and lived to tell the tale, it wasn't nice but I got over it...well physically, mentally...it's going to take some time because it really did take my balance away that I fought so hard to achieve. I think my trust in much of the human race kind of left the building and left us with war and greed, don't get me wrong, there are a lot of good people in the world, but life has definitely changed.   I kinda lost myself, not sure I will ever get her back again but I'm trying to find her because she's in there somewhere. Anyways, back to covid, it didn't really impact my MS other than make me really fatigued and extremely achy so that's a win. Passed a uni module, started a uni module and d
