Thanks @emwritersfestival for hosting me this past

Thanks @emwritersfestival for hosting me this past weekend to talk about my book, Fallosophy: My Trip Through Life with MS.

Bonus thanks for accessible dining and parking options that felt more like VIP access than disability accommodation🙏

The best part of these events is always connecting with other authors and readers and I had instant love and chemistry with @katygies and @bodywaltzing 🖤

What a thrill to share the stage at @emwritersfest

Thanks to steroids and other factors, my MS bones

Thanks to steroids and other factors, my MS bones started turning to dust in my 40s #osteoporosis 💀

BUT THEN: I got a good endocrinologist. I had a course of zoledronic acid. I spent the last year mainlining calcium, vitamin d and vitamin k.

And guess what bitches. It’s working. Last year I had the skeleton of a 70 year old 🦴 Now my bones have the density of a 44 year old 💪 💪 💪 🤯

I have gone from omfg osteoporosis to mild osteopenia in ten months 🙏 (it is such a strange feeling to get good medical news for a change)

If you have MS you should be getting bone scans 🫵 Especially if you’ve had prednisone/solumedrol.

Look after your skeleton, Trippers. 😘

MS means always being on the lookout for the neare

MS means always being on the lookout for the nearest bathroom 😬
