Excellent walk today. My #MS had me a little wobbly, but I met FOUR new neighborhood #dogs. My favorite is when I ask the owner if I can pet them and they say, "You can try, she's really shy," and then we become best friends.

Having a chronic illness means learning to make joy small but mighty. #ChronicLife

The next person who tells me my chronic pain can be cured by yoga, some herb, or fresh air is going to get punched in the neck. #Spoonie #ChronicLife

Reliving Heartbreak: Life With A Chronic Illness – Living with chronic illness is heartbreaking. Heartbreak that is repeated again and again as its worst moments are replayed over and over.

Beautiful start to days off. #insomnia #stress #chronicillness #chroniclife #ms #mssucks #sleep

Good #MS day. Had a nice, long (for me) walk, including a visit from my favorite neighborhood #cat. I've never had a direct effect on symptoms from my Ocrevus infusion before, so maybe it's in my head. In any case, I'll take it.

Every doctor's appointment feels like a game of medical bingo. #ChronicLife

Joy may look different now, but it still matters.

It's #ocrevus infusion day. My MS has been on the bad side, so I'm curious to see if I'll feel better after this. I always refuse the steroids, so any improvement will be from the actual drug.

Not sure if it’s a trauma history or #ms thing but it’s easy to see the effect of one threatening incident on my body. Starting the day pretty much in a deficit. #mssucks #chroniclife #chronicillness

You start appreciating the little things when they take maximum effort. #ChronicLife

I measure time in flares, fatigue, and the rare moments of calm. #ChronicLife

One step at a time still moves you forward.

I’ve had to learn to celebrate what I can do instead of mourning what I lost. #ChronicLife

Had the best sleep for ages but still starting the week on empty. Urgh.

Having a very retro movie evening with Shirley Valentine.
I feel really up & down & unsteady so not sure why I’d watch this but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

A medical thing actually worked out. My ferritin is 135!!! And it’s stayed there since November!
I’m so glad I advocated for myself to get treatment after 10yrs of being brushed off by GPs.
