Living with M.S.

"Living with M.S. is sort of like training for a long race. The harder you try, and the longer you keep at it, the stronger you become.
Eventually, looking back, you may be amazed at the power you possessed, even when you had no idea it was within your reach." (Linda Ann Nickerson)

Nerve-wracking: Describing multiple sclerosis from A to Z




Ding-ding-ding!
Knock-knock-knock!
Scratch-scratch-scratch!
Squeak-squeak-squeak!
Tap-tap-tap!

Are you annoyed yet? (Some people can be so nerve-wracking, right?)

What’s your pet peeve?

What totally gets under your skin? Is it:

  • Bad grammar?
  • Close talkers?
  • Constant complaining?
  • Fingernails scratching on a chalkboard?
  • Gum smackers?
  • Missing socks?
  • Name dropping?
  • Nosy neighbors?
  • Soda slurping?
  • Terrible drivers?
  • Or some other nerve-wracking thing?

Something that’s nerve-wracking is aggravating, annoying, irritating, testing, trying, and an overall pain in the neck. 



That’s multiple sclerosis. Actually, MS can be all in our heads, necks, and spines – the whole central nervous system. But that pretty much carries over into the whole body. An MS flare-up is kind of like having the entire control tower go out of whack at a busy airport.

Ain’t no one gonna fly right, if that happens. Whether a person has acrophobia or not, I’m guessing that’d be nerve-wracking.

That’s a picture of MS. It gets on our nerves.
