This Multiple Sclerosis blog isn’t a medical tome — it’s the personal journey of Stephen Walker, an ageing Scotsman trying to make sense of a life with MS.
Along the way you’ll find the occasional nugget of health advice, sprinkled with flippant humour and the odd moment of reflection. Because sometimes the best way to face an autoimmune disease is to laugh at its absurdities while quietly learning how to live with the hand you’ve been dealt.
Here you’ll find reflections, coping strategies, and stories drawn from more than thirty years of living with multiple sclerosis — an honest look at what it means to build a real life with MS.
MyMSisMe — Making sense of life with MS
Living with multiple sclerosis changes everything and nothing all at once. It alters how you move, think, plan, and rest, yet the person inside remains stubbornly the same.
Over the years I’ve learned that life with MS isn’t defined by what’s lost, but by how we adapt to what remains — and how we keep finding reasons to laugh in the fog.
MyMSisMe began as a multiple sclerosis blog, a place to gather what I’ve learned from three decades of living with this unpredictable condition. It’s not a medical manual or a campaign; it’s a map drawn in pencil — one person’s attempt to make sense of a life reshaped by MS.
Here, science meets story, and honesty has a seat at the table. Whether you’ve just been diagnosed or you’re long past the shock of it, I hope you find something here that steadies you, informs you, or simply makes you smile.
MS Symptoms Decoded
MS can feel like a puzzle with pieces that keep shifting. Fatigue one week, tingling the next, and now and then a strange new symptom that sends you searching for answers.
In MS Symptoms Decoded, I try to unpack those experiences in plain English — explaining what’s happening inside the body and how it feels on the outside.
From balance issues to vision changes, from brain fog to bladder problems, these posts translate the jargon into something you can actually use.
They draw on lived experience as much as research, because MS is never just about the science; it’s about what the science feels like when you wake up each morning. This multiple sclerosis blog tries to encapsulate that.
Each article links to the others, creating a library of insight — practical, empathetic, and growing one symptom at a time.

Fables in the Fog
Not every truth about MS fits neatly into a list of symptoms. Some need story — a way to look at fear or frustration through a softer lens. Fables in the Fog began as a small experiment: what if the challenges of MS were told as tales where fatigue became a sleepy tortoise, or forgetfulness a mischievous wind?
These short pieces blend humour, philosophy, and a hint of nonsense. They’re not meant to instruct but to reflect, offering a space where imagination lightens what medicine cannot lift.
If you’ve ever felt that MS steals clarity, these fables may return it in a different form — not through definition, but through understanding.

Living with MS
Beyond symptoms lies the quieter work of endurance — managing energy, balancing stress, building habits that support rather than exhaust.
In Living with MS, I share routines, reflections, and gentle strategies that turn daily obstacles into manageable tasks.
This multiple sclerosis blog is where engineering logic meets real-life trial and error: finding what works, discarding what doesn’t, and repeating the process with patience rather than panic.
Here you’ll find posts on fatigue management, mindfulness, nutrition, technology, and accessibility — all shaped by one guiding principle: consistency beats intensity.

About the Author
I’m Stephen Walker — engineer, blogger, and lifelong learner. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1994 at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, I’ve spent over thirty years discovering what it means to keep going when plans and limbs don’t always cooperate.
Writing has become my way of testing ideas, sharing lessons, and keeping my mind sharper than the symptoms that try to blunt it.
Soul from the Solo Blogger.
