Mental Health Check
I recently had a mental breakdown. I’ve got a lot going on with my peeps and life and it all came out in a brain fog moment that was just the last straw! ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ …it’s about to get real up in hur! I am kind of ashamed to say this because I’ve always been a strong person so admitting weakness is hard, but it’s important to let you know the truth…I was so broken that I actually googled “how…

#MSFact, Coolest #MSTatt & My worst #MSSymptom
I’m really laying down on the job here. I know you all understand better than anyone but I want to do better for you guys. Anyway, let’s pick up where we left off. Itching is a not so well known symptom of MS. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever dealt with before. This itching cannot be quelled by any amount of scratching or creams and all Benadryl does is put you to sleep. It does nothing for the…

#MSDrugs
Now, there are a bajillion (my very own made up number) different drugs that are used to treat the symptoms that come with MS. And I take a lot of them. There are fewer disease modifying drugs (DMTs) and these are what I would call “MS drugs” since they are specific to MS. i have taken quite a few of these over my almost decade of fighting the MonSter. I started with Avonex. Then moved to Gilenya…

#MSProblems and #MSHug
So, y’all need to follow me on Instagram and Twitter. I posted yesterday’s pic on there and forgot to post on here. Today you get a twofer! Yesterday’s post was #MSProblems and I did a throwback to one of last year’s posts. I think that one of the biggest problems in MS is that while you mature mentally and physically, your skill set decreases. For example, as you grow up, you first learn to…

#MSFunny
MS sucks and idk if it’s better or worse than cancer…I can see validity to both sides of that argument. That, however, is not the point. This is just funny. The baby just makes it better. I mean, his face! 😂 Anyway, one way in which MS and cancer are similar is they are both dreadful, awful diseases I wish never existed and those afflicted with them need something to laugh about. So go on and…

#MSFamily
This is a really really really small sample of some of my MS family on Instagram. As you can see, my family consists of men, women, young, older, black, white, gay, straight, liberal, conservative, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Atheists and everyone in between. MS doesn’t discriminate those it attacks, therefore, I won’t discriminate those to whom I show love! i love each and every one of…

MS has taken ___
MS has taken a few things but here are 4: 1) my ability to walk up and down the steps without holding the handrail – I can still do a flight or two going foot over foot but I have to hold on to the railing at least with one hand. 2) my ability to walk a straight line – yeah….I’m not passing any field sobriety tests, just give me a breathalyzer. “I swear to drunk ossifer I’m not God!” 😂 3) my…

MS has given me ___ MS has given me empathy. I am now able to metaphorically put myself in another's shoes where it wasn't so easy for me before.

Hey y’all, sorry I’ve been gone for so long. It’s been a wild last few months!
I’m fine but one of my peeps was dx with breast cancer and that threw me and my peeps into a whirl wind of “AHHHH!” Things seem to be on the downhill (or uphill whichever is the good one) side of things.
The other MSer and I have started a workout regimen. It was every Monday and Wednesday (I don’t like working out so that was plenty enough for me) but I was informed today that we will be adding Friday into the mix now. Ugh! So that’s something to “look forward to”. 🙄
How have you all been?
My state side MSers will know that March is National MS Awareness Month (hence the title of the blog). I usually like to do a post a day throughout March to bring awareness to this disease. I was inspired to create my own Instagram/Twitter challenge for the month. I’d like to invite you all to join me and get #MSAwarenessMonth trending!
Here is a graphic for the challenge & the one I used for the definition post. I can’t wait to see all of the posts! Don’t forget to tag me so I can see them (@MStrooper08)!!!
Happy MS Awareness Month! Hey y'all, sorry I've been gone for so long. It's been a wild last few months!

LOOOOOOONG Time No See!
LOOOOOOONG Time No See!
I know I’ve been out of commission since pretty much the beginning of the year. I’m sorry for dropping the blog. I feel like I just started getting to know you all and then disappeared. I’m not back for good and I make no promises but I’ll try to do a weekly update type thing. I really miss connecting with you guys. Anyway, we’re here for updates… 1) I had a birthday at the beginning of the…

It's Been A Minute
It’s Been A Minute
Hey y’all! Just wanted to stop in and let you know what’s been going on with me. I’m pretty sure my MS is in a state of remission. I have (overall) been feeling pretty good. I have been shopping without my scooter and driving myself to go shopping (on weekends when I have access to dad’s car). I have been going to a yoga class on Tuesday nights when I feel good. I feel pretty good overall but…

Update
While I have been away some major things have happened… 1) I had a flare! My left eye went blurry and started moving! NOT GOOD!!! It started with pain behind my eye on Sunday. I was into see my neuropthamologist by Tuesday and started treatment by Friday. I was NOT messing around this time! I let my right eye go thinking it would get better…yeah not so much! 2) I had a 5 day round of Solumedrol.…
