YEG MS Podcast

During a peer support group session today someone mentioned the YEG MS Podcast for those living with MS. Here’s the link http://www.ownmultiplesclerosis.com/yeg-ms-podcast/

OCD and Multiple Sclerosis

Patients with multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune disorders are known to suffer from OCD, anxiety and depression, but the relationship between these conditions is a mystery.

Explaining MS to kids

Kids can see you trip, stumble or fall and mine laugh. But everyone has a hard time understanding fatigue, cognitive issues and visions problems.

The Brain Bank

The next day someone from the Brain Bank contacted me. I had forgotten to fill in the address fields. Yup my brains f#%ked. Just reinforcing what I already thought. If there’s life after death, I want a new brain, thanks.

Understanding MS in the workplace

They shared real life examples of others living with MS, some of whom had quite significant disability and how with MS Queensland’s assistance they were able to support them to maintain employment.

Alive and well

About an hour later I felt light headed and nauseous. They started talking about not letting me leave. I stopped telling them how I was feeling but they had already called the Neurologist to come down and see me.

G Day

Nervous AF. It’s a horrible feeling waking up preparing to spend the day in hospital to take the first dose so that the medical team can monitor your heart.

Smoking & MS

I didn’t hesitate in signing up. I have battled smoking for years. I’ve quit smoking probably a 100 times. Some times just days, sometimes weeks or months with the longest run being almost 3 years. I don’t smoke a lot, some days I don’t smoke at all.
