30 May 2018, the day on which I write this post, is World MS Day. The global slogan for this year is #BringingUsCloser, closer to, according to the campaign, ending MS.
#BringingUsCloser… or something like it
Life with MS
Who are you?
One of the things I keep coming across lately is how upset some multiple sclerosis (MS) patients are with people that tell them that their symptoms “happen to everyone.” To be clear, I personally ignore such comments. But the frustration of those patients with the lack of understanding from their audience about their condition is understandable. Perhaps because the statement gives rise to expectations that MS patients can and should perform just like everybody else. Or at least in the way expected from everybody else.
It’s hard to get back… but here I am
There comes a time when you run out of excuses for not doing something you should have been.
That time is now.

It may have been a love song. Long before Cat Stevens became Yusuf Islam. But in this case it is much closer to reality. And that is frightening. I try not to take a vocal political stance. Don’t get me wrong, I am a political being, just as everyone else should be – because apathy is not an acceptable option (just ask my friends). And because I am political I am taking a stance.
What was I thinking of? (Now this is frightening)
I do realise that it’s been a while since I posted anything. Yet again. But I meant to. Honestly. And I am not one for making up excuses – well, apologetic excuses that is. But, I do have one. Cognitive difficulties!
