Now I’m just wondering when is it my turn to not be the strong one. So far I have had to be strong for everyone around me. Pretend that this isn’t bothering me. Especially for the kids and my husband. And most of the time I have to even hide my symptoms. So I’d just like to know when everyone else is going to get used to the news so that I can go find a quiet place and start screaming. But I guess that’s what this is all about.
When I see someone struggling with a pebble, I want to hug them and say "You're not alone; I have a pebble, too." It won't make their pain any less. But it will make it less frightening. Less lonely.
My name is Cindy, I am married, with 3 grown children, and two spoiled and well loved silky terriers Princess & Taz I re-started this blog since DX 7/29/10 with MS. I hope to use it as a journal as I set off to new adventures of my lil world that I now call "Weeble Land."
I am just an ordinary girl. I am a recovering pack-rat who now loves to organize. It has become an addiction almost. It makes me feel so good when I go through a room and make it look clean and simple! Among other things I love to bake, craft, knit, crochet and cook. I guess you could say I am a Martha Stewart wanna-be. I was diagnosed with MS in 2006 but try not to let it “own me”.
Welcome to a blog of many faces. They are all my face, but they look different in different lights. Sometimes what you see can be pretty straight forward. Other times the light can play tricks on your eyes. You can learn many things and nothing, and whereas you can actually gather grains of truth from my frequent poetic licence, you may not want to judge too quickly. All of what you see here is true. But know that not all is completely in focus.
I thought I would blog about my experience with MS-Multiple Sclerosis. I wanted to create a venue where my friends and family could check up on me. All are welcome!
Hello friends! My name is Stephen. My main points of interest are music, cooking, art, but more importantly advocation and education about Multiple Sclerosis. In my blogs, I will write about stories of the trials and the victories I have gone through living with MS.
I'm 27 years old and had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis on Valentine's Day, 2006. Life as I knew it changed dramatically. From using a wheelchair for two years and learning how to walk all over again, my diagnosis has changed my life for the positively better. Having kept my disability a secret for four years, this is my story of living with a diagnosis and how I'm rising about it, embarking on a new life.
I'm 56, a professional, diagnosed with secondary progressive MS in 2004, currently dealing with a self-assessed EDSS of 6.0. I was assessed and treated for CCSVI in Poland on April 29th, 2010.
I manage the Berkshire MS Therapy Centre (www.bmstc.org)and have an interest in any issues concerning MS and disability. My interests outside work include travel, sailing, film, theatre and music with a particular interest in guitar which I am attempting to learn!
But smiling helps get through the day by day problems. And besides, smiles really are contagious. I hope the one I have right now has caught on to you!
