If you write a blog about MS, let me know and I’ll put the link up here, or if you fancy trying your hand at writing a guest blog post for this site, have a look here and get in touch…
MS and Mimosas is a new blog by Heather, who says, ‘I am 23 years old, working full-time, and just trying to figure out how to be an adult. Oh yeah, and how to be an adult with a chronic illness’.
One Man and his Catheters is a great blog by Mark. As you can guess from the title, he writes an honest and open account of life with advanced Multiple Sclerosis. He’s still smiling and laughing through it all – most of the time. When his wife lets him, he jumps out of planes and plays Wheelchair Rugby (not at the same time!). He’s passionate about raising awareness of MS and disability as a whole and works as Head of Comms for Shift-ms.
I’m a rich tea in a hob nob world is a new blog by Sarah, who says, ‘MS Survivor, Inappropriate Mother, and a Daily Quest for Reasons to Laugh and Smile.
I’m no literary genius, but as a form of therapy & to stop me going stark raving bonkers, I’ve decided to dip my toes, ever so gently into literary waters & write a blog. So here goes… It’s not going to set the world on fire and will, more often than not be grammatically incorrect and a tad fruity but, it’s good for mind, soul & sanity!’
Mildly Scrambled is a mix tape of music, multiple sclerosis and the occasional gin. Thirteen years in, I hope my experiences can be hopeful, helpful and occasionally amusing.
‘Within the space of just over a year, my life was entirely transformed: my book and now blog follows my journey through that challenging time. It is the story of coming to terms with our older son’s autism as well as trying to deal with my own diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis, except I never call it that- MS sounds a lot less alarming. I tend to go to great lengths to hide my illness; don’t want the fuss, hence the title Laugh or You’ll Cry.
An Aussie now living in the UK. I started blogging my journey from start to present-day (and a little bit in between), to help my family and friends (esp in Australia) understand that it’s no easy ride, but we are all doing OK!. Read it here.

Hi Estizer,
No worries, will add your blog – what one-line would you like me to write to describe it?
x
Could you mention my website http://www.aid4disabled.com, I have SPMS. OK its not a true blog but I have built this up since Feb 2012 and it has stopped me going bonkers.
I want the website to help disabled people. If the readers become more independent, have a better quality of life and throw daytime TV into room 101 then I have done something constructive.
I will put your site up over the weekend – no worries. You are also more than welcome to write a guest blog post, where you could explain more about the philosophy behind your site?
Could you please send me the URL for the MSPreneurs blog Please use email address patrick.burke@aid4disabled.com
Yup, just sent you an email. If anyone else missed it, the post is here – http://stumblinginflats.com/mspreneurs/

Hi there! I just ‘stumbled’ upon your blog and it is certainly very entertaining and informative. I love your blog about MSPreneurs! I shared this on my MS Warrior facebook page and have been contacted about how well liked it is. I have a blog as well that I would love for you to check out. It is http://www.mswarrior.net
Thank you for sharing a little humor and candidness with us all!
Hi!
Thank you for your lovely comments and for sharing the MSpreneur post!
Your blog is fab, very inspiring and your MS story is spookily similar to my own. The hospital also thought I was having a stroke as my speech deteriorated so badly.
Hopefully I’m now picking up the pieces and trying to bring a little bit of humour into a dark situation!
