Me , Who I Am

I live a pretty hectic life, I am first and foremost a single mum and that is not usually something I share straight up but , I see this journal as a semi blog and they are a part of me, so any man that wants to accept me as a true sub/slave needs to realize I come as a ready made package of 3. My lads are just the best thing I could hold in life. They are gorgeous human beings and they come first in my life.

Secondly I work full time, this keeps me busy , but I have like so many Australian’s a mortgage to pay and kids to put through private education.

*Whispers* : I’m not a breeder slave

Because I have Multiple Sclerosis(MS) and Fibromyalgia(FMS) I cannot “breed” anymore kids, I am although happy with what I have got.

Living with MS and FMS is hard, but what is harder is living with MS and FMS and being a single mother with 2 full of energy young boys.

I am not bound to a wheelchair, but I live with chronic severe pain, because although MS and FMS is treatable it is not curable.

These disease are disabling, but I am not disabled. I am still a very independent woman , I still can surf most days. AND I can still crack a smile from ear to ear. Because despite the cards that have been played, my deck is only getting stronger each day, and I am enjoying it so much more. Life is wonderful.

Fibromyalgia for those who do not know means “Fibro” refers to the fascia or connective tissue, “my” to muscle, and “algia” to pain. Literally FMS means pain in the muscles and tissue.

Multiply Sclerosis or MS is a central nervous system disease. When the protective sheath (myelin) around the nerve fibres in the brain and spinal cord becomes damaged, causing random patches called plaques or lesions. These patches distort and interrupt the messages that are sent along these nerves. ‘Sclerosis’ means scar and the disease is labelled ‘multiple’ because the damage usually occurs at a number of points.

So above all of this , I still can’t see why I can’t enjoy my life. I always seem to say to other people, Remember there is always someone fighting a bigger battle then you! and I believe that even in my situation. MS and FMS I would not wish on my greatest enemy , but I am so glad I have both because now I can educate the rest of the world about these diseases.

Awareness is a good thing in my books.
