The Ridiculous Olympics: MS Edition

1. No ramp? Cool, I’ll just grow wings. 2. Door opens outwards? Love wrestling architecture for fun. 3. Toilet upstairs. Guess I didn’t really need to pee. 4. Ramp = vertical slide. Is this accessibility or the Winter Olympics? 5. Shiny floors. Surprise! You slipped and broke your neck.. 6. Dis...

Does anyone feel like everything is more difficult than it ever was before MS? I just wrote a check and I feel exhausted. It’s ridiculous. I started my day with a shower so I can check that off the list.

She's such a warm person and has a live at 5, every Wednesday. She's helped so many people heal and the amount of evidence is growing. Free! No one deserves to suffer from this ridiculous illness.

Walking aids?

I mobilise with a crutch, sometimes 2 due to balance issues. However recently I have been looking into and considering a rollator (walking frame with a seat) to allow me to walk for longer periods as I'd really like to try to exercise a bit more, but I haven't taken the plung yet as I go from think...

Does the weather immediately affect you?

I was diagnosed in June with RRMS after starting symptoms in Sept 2022. I'm trying to come to terms with my new normal. I'm struggling to return to work after being off since April. Today I went on site and trying to be mindful to not push it I used a mobility scooter for an outdoors meeting (the si...

Hi 59 year old finally waking up to the challenges MS presents

My MS journey started in 1989 with what transpired to be optic neuritis. Living in London in a bachelor pad that resembled a scene from the movie Animal House after a major relapse and a dose of steroids life went on.
