COVID-19, I need to curse for a minute
I've had it with some people's coronavirus apathy. As a result, you'll find more cathartic curse words in this one article than there have been in the last nine years of writing IMSM. Why now? People's meaningless line of indifference towards societal norms & the greater good in some people. Case in point, watch this disorganised, disgraceful lot.

Oh, media, when will you ever learn? Stop calling it a cure!
Again, dear Media, you are one slick, quick fixer. You know what works: stories that touches people’s hearts and their emotions. You know it will definitely gather income. Good for you.

MS and PTSD: not all in your head
Life with MS is an is an ever-changing intimate tale of loss and redemption and of love and forgiveness within your relationship with yourself. Not one day should be the same, and not one minute can go lost to idle words or feelings.
