Happy New Year!

Well it's 2019 already, guess this is the time when people start making new years resolutions and reinventing themselves?! All the 'New Year, new me' stuff! Need to be fitter, need to be happier or healthier and must achieve this and that this year...Hands up to those that are in this category? Not me, I decided a few years ago, after my diagnosis and the end of my marriage that I wasn't going to plan, I was just going to do it! You can make plan A, B and C and I'll guarantee you wouldn't have planned for D! I have a couple of things that I know I need to do like pass my UNI course, be a bridesmaid for one of my best friends weddings, go sky diving as my relapse kinda put a halt on that plan last year but as for planning, nope just going to see where this year takes me.

I did start the year off with a walk to my favourite place, something I didn't do a lot of last year, put my music in my ears and climbed and sat on one of the rocks at Black Rocks! Man did I feel unfit when I climbed that sucker, and it's not like I don't do any exercise, my body just doesn't like the cold weather lol! Or perhaps I've over indulged over Christmas and New Year, ok it's probably that lol! It's nice to just sit and just stare out over the countryside and just think or not think because sometimes you just need to be in the quiet and not talk to anybody. I sat for a while, watched the sun start to set and then off I went for my walk. Haha, walking through the Derbyshire Dales whilst it was getting dark had all the makings of a new horror film...although singing aloud Kelly Clarkson's, Stronger probably scared everyone away to be honest, I'll never get on X-factor haha.

I felt peaceful, I felt happy and not once did I think I'm too tired to this, or that my MS is playing up because what's the point? It's always going to be there and I might as well have a good reason to be tired right?!

So happy New Year peeps, 2019 will be what it will be, no plans or resolutions, I'm winging it this year!

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
