„i am scared“ would be an understatement.

I had a relapse.

Due to a change in my medication I am off of Tysabri for about three months now.. slowly but surely I’ve started noticing my symptoms getting worse over the past few weeks.. for about ten days now my fatigue has become almost unbearable and my ocular flutter (rare abnormal eye movent where my eye balls almost vibrate) has flaired-up really bad. Yesterday the dizzyness set in so I left work to go see my doc. She told me right away that it was an MSattack and that I had to stay in the hospital.

I couldn‘t think of anything worse than staying at a hospital with no visitors allowed, all by myself for five days, so after a long discussion she let me go home with a prescription for a cortisone therapy starting today.

1070 days ago everything suddenly was...different.

Suddenly I had to think and talk about things I would have never imagined happening to me.

I felt like I lost control. Control over my own body.

It took me almost three years to be where I am today. Still in the process of accepting that I can‘t change it and that it’s forever going to be part of who I am. And that’s ok.

After almost three years of being diagnosed I wanna be someone I wish I had alongside me from the beginning. Someone that tells me that I am not alone in a world full of neurotypicals.

That it‘s ok to rest when fatigue sneaks up on you, that it’s ok not to be ok from time to time

But also, that life is beautiful, too beautiful to give up on happiness, and not being alone means being part of something !

Welcome to your something.

Always up for new adventures. Today my dad took me 23 k up a mountain with beautiful view and waterfalls as well as woods that looked like fairies would live in them.

Growing as a person is a never ending process. My friends have been wanting me to do this for as long as I can remember and together with one of them I decided it's time to take a big step out of my comfort zone and share something with the world that I just love and enjoy doing, hoping to inspire others and hopefully put a smile on your faces :)
