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…

Gina Blue is Disabled Too

A chronic illness companion My car and I go back a long way, 10 years to be exact.  She was a pretty, blue, 2005, used Toyota Corolla that I bought in 2004. No, that is not a typo or a result of MS brain fog.  Weird as it seems, the 2005 cars came out early … Read more here…

Portuguese Soup with an MS Twist

A multiple sclerosis culinary event   It was a privilege growing up Portuguese, especially when it came to Portuguese food.  Portuguese delicacies are awesome. What?  You don’t believe me? 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…

Seal of Approval

Multiple Sclerosis inspiration of the aquatic kind   In last week’s blog, I talked about whales.  Today’s blog is about seals.  Well, a seal, one seal in particular.  Who knows, maybe next week I will blog about sharks. Or dolphins. Or maybe crabs. Let’s hope that if I ever feel the need to blog about … Read more here…

Thar She Goes…..

Multiple Sclerosis goes whale watching Forgive me please if this blog post gets a little off the multiple sclerosis topic.  There will be a connection, I promise. Aren’t we with MS always connected to MS in some way?  The harder we try to disconnect to it the more connected we seem to be. The above … Read more here…

The Motley Two Go to Motley Crue

Multiple Sclerosis meets heavy metal   Ahhhh, there’s nothing like a good old summer head banging concert to remind you that you have multiple sclerosis.  Or that you are getting old.  I can’t tell which. Too often the things that make me feel old could either be signs of old age or signs of MS.  … Read more here…
