You’re funny you are! And I like to laugh, thankyou for that post and insight into you and your MSness.

I’ve got it too, the less bad version in my opinion, because I don’t LURCH into a relapse and into worse, and I thrive on my non-remittance, as time moves on, in my case, ever forwards, looking for the bright side, even as The Mess of MS messes with all of me, as I try to mourn the loss of capacities that the Old Whymark used to enjoy, and discover the possibilities and hold onto a NEW Whymark.

You and I have much in common,

I think 😌

Lost for words (which isn't me). Very personal, very informative and written with humour. Such a brave and inspiring thing to start a blog and to share your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Well done 💕

What a great first article (and articulate, but not in a lorry sense), Jane. Bravo! I've already learned at least two new things about you and Multiple Sclerosis. You've enticed your readers with much more to come.

As for 'Hobblicious', that is inspired.

Your absolutely brilliant sense of humour and your courage and determination absolutely shine through in this incredibly well-written, thoughtful entertaining and informative first post! I can't wait to read more. Also your invention and dictionary definition of 'hobbilicious' is genius 😂. I am so excited that your writing is now published for everyone to enjoy. ❤️

Fab work, Sis! Great to see all your hard work coming to fruition, look forward to your updates. I nearly bought you this gift,

https://www.satorinotes.com/products/sis-youre-doing-a-good-job

but then I came up with 3 reasons not to:

1, It's a bit naff

2, The word 'good' isn't nearly enough

3, We've had too many 'number 2' jokes already this week.

Soz!😁

Well done you, oh, and I didn't know you were a Librarian! 😯

R kid❤️

Aw, thank you for your support R kid ☺️. I will look forward to the gift when you find one with 'brilliant', or 'awesome' on it! Surely there can never be too many of those jokes?! Librarian, well everyone has a dirty secret!

I look forward to your posts and appreciate that you are taking this step as someone who generally doesn’t share much about themselves in public. Reading about MS is one thing but quite different to learn about different people’s day to day experiences and how they are similar or different from each others’.

I wonder if you have ever run into Shahd Alshammari’s book “Head Above Water?”

Reema, thank you so much for reading. I really am getting there with the sharing now the blog is actually out there!

That’s a wonderful book recommendation too, I hadn’t heard of it but looked it up following your note. It is now it high on my “to read” list. The cultural/gender perspective will be fascinating. Much appreciated. 💛
