It’s finally here. The long awaited Neurologist appointment is today at noon. There is a part of me that’s dreading this appointment. I’m expecting more of the same, “gotta do more tests” or” there’s nothing wrong with you, it’s stress”, or the always appreciated, “it’s all in your head” kind of answers. I find myself doubtful that my primary care…

Then, 4 years ago, I became pregnant with my son and started craving meat. I gave in, and went back to meat eating. Shortly afterward I started having pain and stuttering and numbness.…

I made it about 15 steps before I fell. My partner rushed over to help me up. Poor thing, he’s just so worried and of course, there’s…

Two weeks ago my life changed. In the space of 5 minutes, I lost most of the sight in my left eye. My world became blurry – I couldn’t read my computer screen at arms length. This isn’t the first time I’ve had symptoms, but it’s the first time my vision has been effected. About 8 years ago, my left…
