MS Connections
One Year Ago One year ago on World MS Day, I decided to open up and share that I have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I definitely had a few hesitations in opening up and starting a blog. I was nervous about whether I would regret letting the world know that I have MS. I…

The Waiting Place
Useless Waiting Have you ever felt like you are stuck waiting? Just waiting for something to happen? Maybe you are tired of the job you are in and you are waiting to find a new opportunity. Maybe you are waiting for God to answer a prayer that you have been praying for years. Maybe you…

Coronavirus and Multiple Sclerosis
Coronavirus Pandemic & MS Here we are in April of 2020 in the middle of a global pandemic. The state of Washington is under a stay-at-home order as are many other states (but not all). It is absolutely crazy to me how unprepared we are for the scenario unfolding. I always believed that the United…

Multiple Sclerosis and Pregnancy
Getting Pregnant with MS Did you know that women with Multiple Sclerosis can get pregnant? Something that I didn’t know when I was diagnosed and I am sure many people didn’t know until I announced my pregnancy is that women with Multiple Sclerosis can get pregnant.

Would You Rather…
Would You Rather I am sure most people have at some point or another played the “Would You Rather” game with friends or new acquaintances. Would you rather arrive 20 minutes early wherever you go, or arrive 10 minutes late? Would you rather only be able to use a fork or only be able to…
