Diet Bipolar...

Life can be a strange, unpredictable beast at times. One moment it can feel really shitty like all hope is lost, the next you can feel like you're on top of the world. Okay, I might be overexagerating my past week, but I do feel like I've been really cheered up by some news I got this week. go Gav.

Things are good for me, I'm liking the bad assishness of my new suit wearing ways, life is on the up and up. As Quagmire would say, giggedy.

I hope you're all having a good Halloween  me and Deb have already scared our first trick or treater by Deb opening the door dressed as a ghost with a sheet over her head. Who is the bigger child in this situation?

And so the rain starts dripping against my my mum's window, the summer was officially over over a month ago, and this is Britain so no surprises there. I just wish I had packed my coat.

I've relocated to my mums for this weekend in the absence of Deb, who has travelled up to see her friend for the weekend. I would have stayed at home by myself, but I've got a cold which, along with giving me a chesty cough and a stuffy nose has decided to start messing with my MS a touch too. I'm bad enough looking after myself when I'm well, never mind when my MS is affected too.

It isn't just my MS that makes things more difficult for me, no, its more the fact I'm a bloke and I don't look after myself properly. I don't eat the right stuff for me, and while eating chocolate chip brioche for lunch might be tasty, it really isn't going to help me get better any quicker. I know, I know, I'm a 28 year old man, I should know better, but deep down I'm still that little six year old boy that needs looking after. Besides, I didn't feel safe being by myself this weekend so I rocked off in my chair yesterday for a weekend of mothering. Good times.

Now, I should really have seen this illness coming, whenever Deb leaves me alone for the weekend or I go away, 'something' inevitably occurs. Yes it probably is just coincidence, but it makes for a better story this way. The last time Deb went away for the weekend, I ended up in hospital for two days with a nasty eye infection because of my contact lenses (stupid extended wear lenses and inability of me to take them out myself). When I went down to see my mum before Christmas a few years back, I ended spending a week in hospital over Christmas with an uber infection that made me sound like I was having a stroke. I did get a present and card off the nurses though, so swings and roundabouts I guess.

Most of the time my MS is pretty good though, I've really not got very much to complain about,

And so it begins

Hello you, welcome to my blog. I do a lot of vlogging over pm YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/user/thehappycovv but I wanted a space where I could write about the less cheery side of my MS because it isn't always as fun as it seems on my videos (Inside my head however, is a whole different ballgame). To give you a quick run down on me, I'm a happily married 28 year old with a receding hair line and an odd sense of humor  oh and I've had MS for nearly five years too. I can be irritable, insecure and tiresome, like most people, but I always try to see the positives or alternate point of view in things too.

I hope you come back later for some actual blog posts :-)
