A Letter to My Husband

Dear Niall,

Eight years ago I held your hand on a still May morning as we set off on our third Darkness into Light walk for Pieta House, a charity that we both owe a lot to. I knew our whole world was about to change. After three weeks in hospital the previous October, having undergone every test and multiple lumbar punctures, the threat of those two words clung to everything - Multiple Sclerosis.

Hollywood, Applegate and an Irish sense of humour

It’s that time of year again – awards season 2024. I’m no film buff, but even I can’t resist being swept up in the glamour and excitement of it all; whether it’s gushing over all of the designer gunas or admiring the A-lister’s hair and makeup.

An Obituary for My DMT

“Dearly Beloved, we are gathered today to bid farewell to a dear friend of mine. 

Please join me as I say goodbye to my companion of almost ten years. We’ve been through the ups and downs that life has thrown at us this past decade, but our relationship has soured in recent weeks. Today I say farewell to Copaxone, my first and (formerly) dependable disease modifying therapy (DMT).”

Becoming More Disabled

As I enter my 12th year of living with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis even thinking and writing the word Disabled is uncomfortable for me. One of the hardest aspects is accepting the slow progression of disability that MS is bringing, all the while feeling I don’t belong in this category. It’s like I am some kind of interloper.
