I don’t blog as such, though I do have one elsewhere that I occasionally comment on “big” events. I do keep a personal diary of how things are day to day, so I can keep track of the progression. I have found out that my memory is not the most reliable and I do tend to be glass half empty, even when it is actually quite full.
I guess most of my days seem to be the same, so I feel there is little to comment on. I like your blog though, very colourful. Well done.
I’m at the other end, Secondary Progressive, definitely not the man I once was. First relapse in 1979 but I’m a bloke, don’t go to the doctor unless I’m being threatened. Diagnosed in 1995 but no obvious affect until 2000. Since then its been a trickle trickle down the slippery slope.
Had to stop work in January and started a website www.aid4disabled.com) the following month.
I blog all too rarely these days, despite me regularly thinking I should write a post (I think facebook is to blame for using up my internet time). Still, you can have a peruse here - http://buhmuh.blogspot.co.uk/. It’s not specifically about MS, although it inevitaby crops up regularly, lurking in the shadows…
I blog as well, but after a relapse in the Spring, I lost the habit. I’ve just started again, but it’s not just about MS, although I’m working on one that is. I’m a musician and after 10 years, I’ve gone back to music again. It’s going to be about trying to keep going with MS and balance how much to do/play/perform and stay upright.
Patrick_b - Thank you for your kind words, I’ll keep it going as long as I can.
“I’m a bloke, don’t go to the doctor unless I’m being threatened”
Thats not exclusively male. Over ten years and more relapses than I can care to count I’ve seen a GP 3 times for symptoms; Once for pins and needles at 16, Vertigo at 26, and the hospital stay that resulted in this diagnosis last week.
By the time anything got to the point of needing to see a doctor they were easing, so I didnt bother.
Love your website and blog, have bookmarked it and will be keeping an eye on it.
He_funk (dan) I sympathise with Facebook, it has been known to absorb way way too much time for me as well, I’ve read a couple of posts on your blog, I’ll keep it marked for when you take it up again
imnotdrunkwait - Katie I have a confession, it was reading your blog that prompted me to start my own Keep yours up as well and I shall follow with interest.
Lapreguiceira - I’m sorry the relapse knocked the habit out of you, but good that you’ve started again. If you’re happy to share I’d like to read.
Also- New mini-post up on mine this morning, hardly a post, more a one line observation, will write more later today (post breakfast)
