I'm back

After being silent for more than a year, I've decided to start contributing to this blog again. I am finding that as I get older and encounter new challenges associated with having CMS, I need to continue writing about it outside of my goal to walk a mile.

Until a few years ago I never thought that talking or writing about my CMS would be of interest to anyone. But now that I am in a new city encountering new people in new situations, I find that I'm having to explain my disability to a whole new group of people. And that has proven to be tricky at times.

When I encounter a situation where I need to explain my CMS, it's always a challenge to decide how much to share. Sometimes I want to talk about it, and other times I don't want to go into much detail so this blog is my way of providing the opportunity for others to learn as much as they want to on their own terms.

My goal for this blog is not only that it be therapeutic for me, but to also help others who might be living with a chronic disorder, as well as anyone who knows someone with a chronic disorder.

I plan to update this blog only as I need to. And I don't plan on promoting it on social media, so if you'd like to get regular updates please bookmark it or subscribe as a follower.

I hope you enjoy reading.
