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!!

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...

So here we find ourselves in December, summer has gone, school has started, spooky times have been had and some amazing fireworks have been lit and of course Santa has been!! I have finished my second year of Cladribine and I have felt more energised and balanced than I have felt in a long time. I guess that's when you know you've finally healed and accepted that life is just life and MS is a part of that, however one downside to the Cladribine is that I can't drink wine like I used to, actually that's probably a good thing right?! I now have a new found interest for proper ale, gotta love them porters! After having my Cladribine, I didn't feel as fatigued like I did before, in fact I stopped needing to nap and I love my naps. The last few months have been busy, I started uni and I'm really enjoying the course so I know as hard as it's going to be, I've made the right decision. My son has started secondary school which has been a huge jump as I've ha...

Here we go again... Well where has summer gone, have we even had a summer? The last few months have bought so many smiles and successes, both for me and my munchkins. After submitting my last assignment in May and after my son finished his Sats it was all about crawling to the summer holidays. My daughter went up another stage in swimming, had a fantastic report, she amazes me with her wit and humour and talks for England, now I wonder where she gets that from?! For me, the last school term was such an emotional one as it meant my son would no longer be at Primary school and would be heading to secondary school in September. I think I spent the last two weeks of the summer term in tears, my little boy was not so little more and I realised that this summer maybe was the last of him being my little boy, secondary school was going to be the start of him growing up! He passed his Sats with flying colours which I knew he would do anyways and got a fantastic school report. His leaver's...
