I came out of hospital after my first round of steroids and I’ve spoken to a lot of friends who would have called me to say hi, but didn’t know what exactly to say.

The problem is that people don’t know what MS is. Or what it means. Many people I’ve spoken to have known other people with it and they were terrified that I was like that. They assumed the worst.

The treatments for MS have changed. It’s not an easy diagnosis. But at the same time it is manageable and I may never know I even have MS.

Boo and I made up a video last night to show you. Because when people first heard about this, they assumed I was in a wheelchair, or couldn’t talk. Or went blind. Worst case scenario’s which don’t apply to me.

For the moment, I’ve lost the ability to use my left hand. I’m left handed so it will take time to adjust. With medication I might just get it back too. Best case scenario.

I’m still me. I’m still crazy. I’m still the same old Tim that everyone knows and hopefully loves

Comments would be appreciated. I don’t know what it’s like to be on the other side of the fence. What did you think and feel when you heard about my diagnosis?
