Snow Days!




Hands up who has enjoyed the snow this week?  Pretty sure a lot of you won’t, some of you will be muttering to yourselves: that it's too cold; we can't get to school or to work; a lot of you would be sat next to a warm fire with a cup of coffee or tea, me I'd go for the wine personally🙈, or for most people with MS, it hurts!

I'll hold my hand up with the last one except I couldn't wait for it to be here!

Whilst sat in the classroom, with the children and teachers, looking eagerly and hopefully out of the window as the white flakes fell, that we'd all hear that magic word...SNOWDAY!!

Don't get me wrong, driving in it is no picnic either and unless you really have to, then don't but still how excited was I to get home to my munchkins?! There's something about the snow that brings the child out in me :-). So after a sleepless night, the blizzards were so noisy ha-ha, I dragged my achy body out with a sledge and the munchkins to enjoy the white stuff :-)!

A lot of fellow MSer's would say why bother, stay inside where it's warm, you can't possibly enjoy the snow and cold weather? My answer to that would be, watch me!!! We don't get it very often, and there's nothing like seeing and hearing the smiles of your children as we go down the street on a sledge, making snow angels and chasing mummy around with snowballs, and even playing on the park in -6 degree temperatures, these are the moments that you live for! Enjoy the little things in life right!






Having MS takes away so much already, well it does if you let it but it doesn't have to! I have my bad days but I don't let them take over and bring me down. I'm no different to when I was before I was diagnosed, well maybe a little bit as I choose to not let life pass me by and I smile more,  so I leave you with this question. Do we let it beat us, change who we are and not be happy? Or do we get up, fight and take life by the horns?

I know which one I’d rather do!!

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

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

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
