Hello Again

Life swallows you up and you forget you're seriously ill until you have another relapse. I have to laugh otherwise I'll cry. Luckily, it's nowhere near as severe as my last just incredibly uncomfortable and is making work and study difficult. I'm also going to be starting my DMDs soon, I'm going to ...

PIP and tribunal

Oh my days, just went through my PIP tribunal paperwork and literally sat and cried... They just keep referring to the fact I have a job and that I have a licence (don’t drive and it’s restricted to 3 years), and my last big relapse was 3 years ago. Not concentrating on the problems I do have. In th...

Awaiting diagnosis

I was hospitalised back in July as I lost the ability to walk due to servere pain in both my knees. Nobody believed my pain as there was no swelling of bruising and my symptoms were 'weird'. It wasn't until I was in the MRI I realised the nurses voice change tone and I knew they had found something...

Fluent in Nerd. Fluent in People.

I’m a man of the world and a people person. I work in DevOps, so I’m basically a nerd with people skills. I speak fluent nerd, but I can talk to just about anyone about anything. I speak to the business, gather their requirements, then translate everything for the technical minds who build it. I’m ...

90 Months With MS: I Think the Wins Deserve Some Airtime 💪

Sorry if this offends anyone, because I know MS hits us all very differently, but I think the wins deserve some airtime too. I went to the gym today after linking my Garmin data to ChatGPT and building my training around what my body was actually showing. Today it basically said: RELEASE THE HOUN...

This ms is bull ! Everything hurts, I feel like I have slept in days , and get moving is difficult sometimes. But at the end of the day I still need to work at or above the same level as always. I am doing it but there is very little left at the end of the day to do things I like like hunting fish hiking. Sometimes even walking my dog is tough. And all of the doctors and meds only seem to take my money and give nothing in return. . I am just about done with the science and doctors.
