10 years ago, I was struggling to finish my degree after being diagnosed with #MS.
Today, I passed my #PhD viva!

How could they.
We have been so honest & open about how donations to our small self funding charity are spent and then I read this.

Sir Chris Hoy says he has terminal cancer and his wife Sarra has an aggressive form of MS

Yet he remains positive and still feels ‘lucky’

Can only admire the resilience and attitude of some people

Just landed in Perth, Australia from London, on the way to see my son (the Teenager from my blog!) for his 25th birthday. Three nights to get over #MS travelling then on to Melbourne to finally, finally give him a big hug after almost two years away 🤗

Paris Olympics open today!
Even more special as twins @Laviai & @LinaFJNielsen are among Team GB's best Olympic gold medal hopes. Both have MS.
They are running the 4x400m relay. Laviai is also going for gold in the 400m & Lina in the 400m hurdles.

Ocrevus jab approved in England!
People with MS on Ocrevus/ocrelizumab can now have a 10 min injection vs current 4/5 hr hospital infusion.
The injection is just as effective as the infusion, trials have shown.
Over 9,000 ppl in England are on Ocrevus.

Early birthday presents before we visit my son in Melbourne, Australia for his 25th birthday ( aka The Teenager in my blog) 🤗.
He moved there on a whim and loves it so much, I think he’s staying 🫤

It has come to my attention that in Norway “up and not crying” is a fairly common response to “how are you” and I demand the rest of us adopt this immediately
