Another very scary multiple sclerosis moment mixed with some 80’s fun You’ve probably heard of the Spoon Theory. It’s an essay/story/explanation of how one woman uses spoons to describe chronic illness fatigue to her friend. It’s downright brilliant. I did some research and I think and hope the author of the Spoon Theory is Christine Miserandino. … Read more here…
A multiple sclerosis statement There’s a new hero in my MS world. He gets me. And he gets away with saying things I want to say. I learned a long time ago that heroes don’t always come with a cape. And sometimes they may even be con artists. Life is too short and so if … Read more here…
Multiple Sclerosis looks to Sesame Street for support It’s been kind of a frustrating week. So frustrating that I didn’t have the piece of mind to write a new blog. And so the frustrated me offers up one of my favorites……. It was Elmo that finally did me in. Yes, Elmo, as in Tickle Me. … Read more here…
Multiple Sclerosis is ticking me off! While my blog and my book both strongly suggest that laughter is a valid coping mechanism, I never meant for my fellow MS’ers to think that humor is all there is. Lots of other emotions are necessary on this crummy, sucky journey of life with a chronic illness. For the … Read more here…
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?

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…
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…
Multiple Sclerosis patriotism With the exception of my late teen/early 20’s years, I have never been much of a rebel. I grew up with this intense need to please and so when someone tells me to do something, I do it. I floss daily. I get my car’s oil changed every 3500 miles. I … Read more here…
An MS Positive? Possibly. Myself, and fellow MS’ers like me, have a tendency to blame multiple sclerosis for everything bad. Not just everything medically bad in our bodies, but everything bad. War, death, violence, hatred, Justin Bieber,….…you name it. If it’s bad, it is MS’s fault. And why shouldn’t it be? MS is a … Read more here…
An MS blog redo, a Mad contest, and our boy Jack Today’s blog- Bullying is bad, very bad. Violence is bad too. Never, ever be violent. It is mean, the man upstairs doesn’t like it and legal fees are expensive. I was never a bully when I was younger. Fortunately, I was never bullied either. … Read more here…
