MS: the lies we tell ourselves
Schadenfreude must be MS's middle name because it seems to enjoy the trouble it is giving you by dragging other symptoms along in an orgy of severe fatigue, numbness, cognitive issues, neuropathic pain, and trigeminal neuralgia.
A harsh letter to my MS
MS, you really have no idea of the damage you created when you left me on the ruins of your castle. In fact, Sigmund Freud once said "Anatomy is destiny." It is as unpredictable as it is varied, and in need of its own psychoanalysis.
All about MS heat sensitivity, or Uhthoff’s Syndrome
If you're like me, or you or a loved one who has multiple sclerosis and doesn't know where to hide from warm temperatures, below posts may help you find an answer.

Life goes on with all the good it can bring, and with goals I yet want to achieve, so I tolerate MS. There’s no resentment or blame, no more heartache, guilt or doubt.
MS: eloquent silence of the weird and wonderful
I became to view MS and trigeminal neuralgia as an illness so nonsensical and derogatory in nature. MS is one of the most confusing and least understood illnesses in the medical encyclopedia for the mere fact that it keeps moving the goal posts in the lives of every single person with MS.
