A week or so ago I was horrified to actually HEAR a beetle fall onto the floor, it was THAT big. Now, I know the UK is very tame when it comes to our insects, very few bite and none of them can kill you so yes, I’m just a wimp. But seriously, this thing…

Yet another first this past week, jeez I can barely cope with all the excitement. First though, a little background… We live in a new build house, built in 2022, which means it was subject to specific building regulations that stipulate certain things to allow accessibility for wheelchair users. For example, all internal doorways must…

Well, it’s more of a semi actually 🤣 let me explain. The spasticity in my legs make them incredibly hard to bend, despite the multiple drugs I take to relax them. This is exacerbated by fatigue which I suffer with on a moderate basis daily however I haven’t slept well for the last three or…

Neuropathic itching or the “MS Itch” is one of the lesser known symptoms of MS or, more accurately, lesser spoken about as it isn’t considered one of the more debilitating symptoms.

It’s no secret among those who know me, have ever met me, hell if they’ve even glanced across one of my social media profiles that I am a big dog lover. Bar one excruciating year when me and the Hubster first moved in together there hasn’t been a single time in my life when I…

So for those of you who have visited my page before, you’re probably aware I spend a reasonable amount of time on the floor. So much so that I’ve actually seriously considered making small snack bags to place around the house in case I get stuck there for any amount of time. I decided against…

Nobody tells you when you’re diagnosed with a condition such as MS just what you have to give up. You kind of work on the assumption that, yeah, you probably won’t be running any marathons (although people do!) or whatever but it’s the seemingly little things that really affect you. Or they do me anyway……
