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.
