When I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis ten years ago, I struggled to come to terms with the diagnosis and what it meant for my future. I started this blog to connect with and encourage others living with this condition. I share my personal journey and blog about the lifestyle changes I have made and alternative treatments I have tried over the years, including herbal medicine, acupuncture and homeopathy. You'll also find posts about new treatments that are becoming available and products, such as mobility aids and adapted kitchen utensils, I've tried. I hope you enjoy my blog and find it useful.

Graves' disease is the leading cause of hyperthyroidism, and although anyone can develop this condition, more women than men are diagnosed with it. It's an autoimmune disease that causes your metabolism to speed up, and this triggers your immune system to produce antibodies that cause your pituitary gland to release too much of the hormone that stimulates your thyroid.
