COVID AND CHRISTMAS

Our MS Pets

This week we thought we’d take a different look at Life with MS. The MS and Me bloggers are in touch with each other a lot. We share updates on how our MS is faring and ask questions about treatments and symptoms. It is fair to say however, that a significant percentage of our WhatsApp messages involve pictures and stories about the furrier members of our families.

Our pets are our companions, confidantes and always agree with us! This week Ciara, Rosie and Niamh share their pet stories.
