Good bye wobble, hello balanced life

A brilliant article about MS & balance issues!

Makes me realise how well I am doing in pilates & know that what I’m doing in the gym is paying off!

I never thought I’d see the day that I’d loose my balance! After years of working with horses I had incredible balance! It wasn’t until I broke my leg that my balance started to shake & then my MS saw how funny it is to make me wobble when I walk so messed up my balance!

Well, tongue out to u MS cause yesterday I rocked pilates & the power plate!
Today I shall do it all over again just to prove that I am stronger than my MS, for right now anyway!

Cog Fog made worse by pain

image

Having this from my Fibro & my MS! Jeez, double whammy man!

Makes it worse when I’m in pain (which unfortunately is all the time) & when I’m tired!
Being in pain makes me tired, being tired means I can’t handle the pain as well!
That’s where I am today! 😐

Just keep smiling! We’ll get there eventually!  😄

Can I start the day again please?

image

Tadaaaa! Old & new together!

I’d like to start today again if I may? Could I not have MS though because it’s gotten right on my nerves today! It’s really interfered with a happy occasion, that’s what getting a new car is about right?

I know I always appear happy & smiley, that’s what people want to see & hear. I’ve always wanted to be truthful in this blog, don’t get me wrong, I have been. It’s just today I’m not happy but am still smiley! Hard to do but I know a lot of people that do it!

Why aren’t I happy? I’ve just collected a new car, I should be! I should have been excited about it and I was to begin with but, as the day got closer, I began to feel more & more anxious!

This is part of my MS, I don’t cope well with change! I think the reason for this is because my brain has a very hard time taking in & retaining new information. Going from somebody that was once compared to a sponge *soaks up information* to how I am now is very hard to accept!

That is why I wanna start the day again!
I just collected my new car & everything I was told about it just seemed to go straight through my ears! It was if I could feel it happening!
The first time driving an automatic on my own, I kinda needed to retain that information I was given!

I just can’t think straight today, even during pilates I was struggling!
I’m gong to stop giving myself a hard time & just breathe!
It’s not the end of the world!
I shall enjoy my new car, I’ll practise my pilates a little more & I bet you the next time I post a new blog I’ll be all happy again because I am stronger than my MS!

Remembering how I was 2 years ago…

image

Looking back at my MS journey… 2 years ago I had to start using 2 walking sticks all the time!

How I am now… wow!
I’m gonna enjoy it & not take days like these for granted because the horrible thing about this disease is it can all change in a heart beat!

The best thing though is its because of me that I’m stronger! Shere will & determination!

#MSFactFriday Fact #1 Fatigue

image

I’m guessing us MegaSpecials we’ll feeling a wee bit fatigued tomorrow!

Bring it on! It’s gonna be so much fun!
The happiest 5k it’s called, ‘The Color Run’ is coming to Birmingham tomorrow & I’m taking part with a team of my friends! So, 3 of us have MS & the rest are our support team to make sure we get round ok & push the wheelchairs when our legs have had enough of the walking! I have some amazing friends!

So why are we doing it? Well, Tuesday was my 5 year diagnosis anniversary so for me I’m celebrating that! I’m proud of me & I’m loving life!
Challenging myself to do what my hobby was until I could no longer count on my legs.
Just before I was diagnosed me & my partner had bought ourselves hiking equipment. We loved finding new areas to go to & explore but unfortunately I started to experience pain & weakness in my legs so we had to stop.

I’ve been going to pilates classes 3 times a week & training privately as well. Concentrating on my core muscle to help with my balance and walking!

This girl most certainly can!

Still time to sponsor me & team #BAM4MSUK
