Discussing everything that life throws up at me after my diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), This will be a very heartfelt, honest, and open chat. This is all still very new to me, so it just felt right to open up about my journey in the hope that my story can help others. I will try to be nothing other than just me. That will mean jokes being made from time to time and being as light-hearted as possible. Believe it or not, I'm actually quite a fun person... So let's sit back with a cuppa and chat.
