Welcome to MS Maze!

As a person living with multiple sclerosis, my intent with this blog is, first and foremost, to inform. The symptoms of MS vary so wildly from patient to patient that it is common for us to feel alone and isolated. Individuals with MS, as well as their families, can benefit from the shared experience of others. Along the way I also hope to inspire and perhaps cause a chuckle or two though my own every day experiences.

Although I will be posting links to important articles and information regarding multiple sclerosis, this is not a medical site and there is no substitute for consultation with your own personal physician. As I recently found out, the most important quality to look for in a neurologist is that he or she actually takes the time to listen to you. If you haven’t found that doctor yet, keep searching.
