IMSM is an award-winning blog filled with personal experiences and general information about MS to fill the gap left by websites crowded with medical jargon.
By accentuating hard, funny or intense moments that come with the diagnosis of a chronic, neurodegenerative illness, I hope to help change people's perception of invisible illnesses like MS.
My goal is to connect with people who like me, found themselves in front of MS's door, and were dragged in for an extended stay in one of its uncomfortable, dark-lit backrooms. Hopefully, we will connect somehow to share its burden and be an inspiration to each other. After all, IMSM was created to do just that: trying to make sense of MS nonsense.
Now 16,5 years in Ireland, I remain fiercely independent as always and hope to help change people’s perception of invisible illnesses like MS.
