Unless you're dropping in to see if I am hiding in books all day, MS is the reason you are dwelling on this page. If so, I am sorry to hear you are in a loveless affair as devious as multiple sclerosis.
Mine knocked on my door 2,5 years after settling down in Ireland, and IMSMe started as an exercise in conveying optimism through writing.
This website is a mix of personal experiences and general information about MS to fill the gap left by websites filled with difficult 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 about invisible illnesses like MS.
Hopefully we will connect somehow to share its burden and be an inspiration for each other. After all, Ireland, Multiple Sclerosis & Me was created to do just that: trying to make some sense of all this nonsense.
