  • Fourth Tysabri Infusion

    Today I go for my fourth Tysabri infusion. I would like to say for the most part of it I’ve been great. No headaches and no fatigue other than what most people would get after having long days of doing things. Though, I’m fearful of getting another cold this month as it seems that each…

    Achieve with hard work and willpower

    You’d never know by looking at him now, but just a few years ago, Kevin Smith was frail, frustrated, and stuck in a wheelchair. Though a commitment to nutrition and fitness sparked his triumphant transformation, Smith also used a steady dose of willpower to go from wheelchair to ripped. “No matter what, there’s no excuse,”…

    Hi all, The last month has been amazing. Just this last weekend my fiancé and I celebrated two years since first speaking to one another.

    I Ride ‘n’ Run

    Today has been a great day! I’ve been so active. I rode 45km, then I walked and ran about 2km, did some push-ups and sit-ups. I then headed off to church where I’m a volunteer in Kidsz Church. I’ve still got plenty of energy but do recognise I need to rest. I’m going to rest…

  • Changing how I work

    So, today is a new day, it’s a regular work day, but, I have plans to be with my fiancé for dinner tonight and would rather not fell fatigued in that moment. So, the idea behind this post is to detail how I will strategically conduct myself in order to conserve the energy I have,…

  • ‘Cloudy’ – Fatigue? 

    MS Fatigue seems to be revealing itself in my everyday life.  The last week it was not really noticeable as quite often I have enjoyed just resting before doing an activity. Something seems to have changed the last week. Even for the years before being diagnosed with MS, since finishing school, I’ve always enjoyed resting…
