10). 12 months on

August 2018

I will take a break from reminiscing to let you in on where I am now.

My team of professionals includes two Neurologists, an amazing GP, a Chiropractor, a Pharmacist, a Personal Trainer, a Dietician and an Occupational Therapist.

I have had 5 MRI’s, lost count of the number of needles and blood tests, 12 doses of Tysabri,

I have had 2 hospitalisations and lost 20+ kilos.

I have met some amazing people in person and online.

I have seen and heard things that I hadn’t expected to ever hear in my lifetime.

I am loved and in turn I love without holding back.

I am back at work two days every week and I am loving it. I was in danger a few times of getting caught up with the flow and had started thinking about what three days a week might look like. I caught myself in time and I am following the good advice of others to take my time and enjoy the experience of these reduced hours and the balance that this offers me for the rest of my week.

I have read some incredible books – I have started writing a list with descriptions to share later. I have watched documentaries and I have had the chance to connect with people who I would never have otherwise crossed paths with.

I think that in some ways MS has been my best enemy. I was on a path that was not maintainable and I believe now that another health disaster would have hit me eventually.

And maybe that one wouldn’t have been something I could live with.
