I am a Trinidadian living in Atlanta and this is the story of my living with my “wretched disease”, Multiple Sclerosis(MS). One day in 2005, I woke up with a twitching eyebrow and well…it’s now umpteen years later and life as I knew it back then, is gone! These are MY thoughts…MY experiences…MY joys and heartaches that I’m willing to share. My stories are purely for entertainment purposes and should not be used by anyone as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a medical professional for your particular needs and to discuss your individual circumstances.
I hope to educate those afflicted by MS as well as those who are not, inspire others into realising that whilst being diagnosed with this disease is a pain in the ass, it not the end of the world and learning how to manage it really is the key to you and the disease cohabiting (somewhat) comfortably. Everything I share is serious but hopefully my writing style will make you chuckle and/or laugh (and laugh out loud) most times (because life is just too short not to).
I will use many Trini words and slang in my posts but when I do, I will link to my Trini dictionary that will clear up any confusion. One that I will use many times (and may forget to link) is lime. Lime, very loosely, is our word for “hanging out with people.”
I hope u enjoy reading as much as I enjoy sharing!
