The emm in ms. Who The Hell Is Emm? December 18, 2015. January 28, 2016. I’ve been drumming since I was 15. I played guitar first, but when I wanted to start a band there seemed to be a surplus of guitarists, so I decided to learn a different instrument. Drums were the perfect fit, and I found I had a natural rhythm and (despite how it might appear on the dancefloor) good coordination. Skipping forward to a few years and several bands later, my music and my MS have collaborated again.

A Naughty Mnemonic | the emm in ms
https://theemminms.wordpress.com/2016/10/13/a-naughty-mnemonic
The emm in ms. Who The Hell Is Emm? October 13, 2016. Last week while contemplating my ongoing anxiety and the various tools I’ve learned to help manage it, I wondered if I could conjure up a mnemonic to cover all the steps I follow when feeling panicky. It’s easy to lose myself in these moments so anything to keep me moving in a forward direction is a very good thing. Thankfully, my brain obliged and this is what I’ve come up with. Ladies and gents, when leaning into a panic or feeling anxious, remember...

A Fracture | the emm in ms
https://theemminms.wordpress.com/2016/09/21/a-fracture
The emm in ms. Who The Hell Is Emm? September 21, 2016. In the months since then, I have found myself challenged not only by the pain and inconvenience of the fracture but by having to face up to disability in general. I’m fortunate in that so far, relapses have been fairly few and far between, so I can pretend, between episodes, that I’m fine. I can pass, and I can go through days without having to think about my illness. Dear Newly Diagnosed Self. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

The emm in ms. Who The Hell Is Emm? Letter to The Maccabees. January 25, 2016. January 28, 2016. Dear Hugo and Felix. Last night I was invited to meet you backstage before your second sold out date at Brixton Academy. I was invited by Lee, Celebrity and VIP Supporter Manager for the MS Society, who called out for fans associated with the charity who’d like to say hello and see you play, because you are big supporters of the cause. As my wife and I waited for you to come on stage I thought about the other...

The emm in ms. Who The Hell Is Emm? Why I’m Buying A New Walking Stick (When I Don’t Use One Every Day). November 25, 2015. January 28, 2016. I bought my first (and currently, only) walking stick a month or two before I turned 30. It was amid the first relapse since my diagnosis – one I’d been waiting for and when it arrived, scared the shit out of me. So we bought a folding stick. There were a range of colours and styles available at the chemist shop we bought it from but I opted for the basic, blac...
