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…

Lawbreaker

Multiple Sclerosis goes criminal   When I typed the title of this blog post I was saying to myself, laaaaaawwwww breaker, using a Matthew McConaughey legal thriller voice.   What does Matthew’s southern accent have to do with this blog? Nothing, it’s just how my brain works. So here’s a question, if multiple sclerosis is criminal, … Read more here…

Scary Brain, Scary Movie

A multiple sclerosis movie mash So for Halloween fun, I thought I would repost one of the first blogs I ever wrote; a blog that my readers call a classic.  Happy Halloween friends!   It’s the afternoon and I’m shuffling around my house, trying to focus. I have my lists; all the MS helpful tip … Read more here…

Trust me.  I have way too many extra pounds on my 5’3 frame to prove it. We Portuguese folks have our own veggie soup and even … Read more here…

To Shower or not to Shower-that is the MS Question

Another multiple sclerosis dilemma   Don’t be gross.  It was a wedding; of course I was going to shower. And no, it wasn’t MY wedding.  Seems in order for me to have a wedding I would have to find a groom somewhere.  And that just sounds really, really exhausting. But yes, for my friend’s wedding … Read more here…

An MS Doodle Dandy

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…
