8 years

Hello again! I think I’ll keep this post short and sweet because I yet again have nothing new to report. What a blessing! My last MRI was unchanged from previous years and my few symptoms remain the same. While this treatment has been a lifesaver for me, it isn’t for everyone and I can’t stress […]

Day +2,557 // 7 years!

This year I started something new and I started resharing my blog posts each day on my facebook page in “today 7 years ago…” posts. It’s the first time I’ve read all of my posts again since I originally posted them and it has been so fun reliving the experience each day. I won’t be […]

Day +2191 // 6 years

Hello again! I’m happy to report that at my most recent visit with my neurologist, it was said that I remain a boring MS patient with nothing new happening. That’s the goal! It was a rough year for me where I realized the role that grief plays in any sort of recovery or mental well-being. […]

Day +1,826 // 5 years

I’ve been thinking about making this blog post for about a month now trying to think of something great to write. Alas, I’ve got nothing huge to share with you! Since my last post, not a whole lot has changed, and that is probably the best case scenario for my overall goal of not having […]

Day +1,461 // 4 years!

Hello again! Last month I started thinking about this post and what I should write about as I reflected back on this last year and how it has been 4 years since I restarted and reclaimed my health journey. There’s really nothing new to report, which is probably best case scenario! Life is good and […]

Day +1,097 // 3 year (and one day) Stem Cell Birthday!!

You guys!!! I can NOT believe it has been three whole years since my immune system got a reboot that started my new life free of disease progression. I am so thankful that I was able to travel to Mexico to get this done and I am forever thankful for all of YOU for following […]

Day +730 // 2 year stem cell birthday!!

Doctors say that after 2 years your immune system is fully back to normal. NORMAL! That seems to be the theme of this recovery for me. When people ask how I’m feeling I always say “good! I feel so normal!” I wish I could go back in time 4 years ago and tell my newly […]

Day +421//MRI results are in…

Last Monday and Tuesday I went in for my spinal and brain MRIs with and without contrast to check and see if there has been any progression of my MS since my last scan. Before I tell you what this report said, I want to tell you about what my first neurologist told me the […]

Day +366 // This little light of mine

This morning I drove 2 hours east to see my neurologist the University of Michigan armed with a list of questions and concerns because I always seem to forget everything that I wanted to ask at the end of my appointments when they ask if I have any questions. I can’t be alone in that, […]

Day +365// 1st Stem Cell Birthday!!

Happy birthday to me!!!! These past couple of weeks have been so surreal looking back on my “1 year ago today” memories. 365 days ago was such a happy, exciting, and emotional day getting my stem cells back followed by celebrating with my fellow stem cell brothers and sister before heading up to the rooftop […]
