'Coping with MS isn’t always easy, but you do have a choice'

Blogger Trevis Gleason shares the passionate ‘meal’ he’s made from the information he’s learnt about living with MS.

To say that 'MS doesn't stop me', I'm lying, or at the very least, exaggerating. To be more accurate, I can say, unequivocally, that I do my very, very best to not let it get in the way. Lucina

Hobbies, or pastimes, are an important part of life and they take on an even greater significance when living with a debilitating long term illness like Multiple Sclerosis. It is also important to recognise your limitations and to know when a particular hobby is no longer suitable to a particular point in your life cycle. 

I didn’t know that I had MS when I had my kids. I have an eight year old boy and a ten year old girl. Post diagnosis - I decided not to have any more children for many reasons. I won’t go into them today. That’s another blog entirely. I DO want to share a few tips with you about parenting and MS. Things I have learned the hard way. Things I wish I had been told on day one!

Last week Emma wrote about MS and the fertility and pregnancy journey. This week she delves deeper into the joys and challenges of having a new-born in her life. 

This week Emma Rogan gives the first of her two parts on Fertility and Pregnancy. “The great news is there is plenty of evidence that confirms pregnancy can be a very good time for women, with absolutely no evidence that a woman’s fertility is affected by having MS”.

Ageing, a word that makes us cringe.
