The Curious Case of Multiple Sclerosis Part 5

Bored as a Board When I was growing up, my mom or my dad, my sister, my grandmother, someone in my life used to like to say, ”if you’re bored, you’re boring.” This phrase has been ingrained on my brain since then. I want to do everything I can to not be boring, although I … Read more here…

The World is coming to an End Part 2

Multiple Sclerosis is even uncooler than originally thought If you read last week’s blog, part one of this crucial two part posting, you might have felt that I was exaggerating.   But consider even more evidence as multiple sclerosis and aging continue to drastically combine, making me and my world even uncooler than originally thought. As … Read more here…

The World is coming to an End Part 1

Multiple Sclerosis is uncool   The world is coming to an end! Perhaps that statement is a little extreme.  But when I saw the commercial that was my first thought. What commercial you ask? The one where Henry Winkler tries to get people 62 and older to contact him about a reverse mortgage. You remember … Read more here…

Lessons from an MS Semi Pro

Things NOT to do when you have multiple sclerosis, things your neurologist might not mention   A couple of weeks ago, I was preparing to do an injection of my DMD. For all you MS newbies out there, DMD actually stands for Disease Modifying Drugs.

An MS’er looks at the calendar   While this blog was written two years ago, since I just returned from the same trip, and dates do not change, I thought I would offer it to you again.  Mostly because I am way too wiped out to come up with anything new this week…. It’s the … Read more here…

The Yucky State Grinch

A multiple sclerosis book review, sort of….   Once again this New England girl is visiting a state in the southwest and I’m having trouble adjusting. I do not like this state. I won’t mention it by name here as I don’t want to offend any of my readers.  Perhaps they actually like this state.  … Read more here…

Feeling a Little Icky, All Over Again

An MS inspired parody   Funny how things come around. I wrote this blog two years ago and while the children I mention here are now older (both are official toddlers,) the words in this blog post still apply.  So while I rest up after one of our yearly visits with these little ones, a … Read more here…

Loopy Fruit

Multiple Sclerosis and breakfast collide   I grew up as a child of the late seventies/early eighties.  What that means is that my Saturday mornings were spent in front of the TV, with a bowl of the best sugary cereal possible, watching classic cartoons. And by classic, I mean good cartoons; Scooby Doo, Schoolhouse Rock, … Read more here…
