... vulnerable and not always as strong or courageous as people may believe.
To be honest ... this has been a tough month and more emotionally challenging than I anticipated at the onset of this campaign. I normally do not try to spend so much time thinking about multiple sclerosis or try to dwell on the impact the disease has had on me. I could have taken on this project superficially, but it was an opportunity to reflect, to dig deep. In that process, I have discovered some things about my life, relationships and my own coping strategies that have been confronting and uncomfortable. It will take some time to digest those truths and to decide how I move forward from here.
On the flip side, the support from you all has been equally overwhelming and I sincerely thank you all for engaging in this project.
Every view, fave and comment adds to my pledge to the KGTOMS campaign. The current tally is $618.50
Only 5 days left to share an image with the pledge to kiss goodbye group to help raise awareness about MS. Thank you to everyone that has contributed so far.
I also have a fund raising page, Palo's Pledge, that accepts donations on behalf of MS Australia to further research into this disease.

Finally, in this short series from 1965 – it’s time to say something about Martin, who’s appeared in four of the previous six images.
I met Martin Maclean at school in Banstead, Surrey, when he was 14 and I was 15. We rapidly hit it off and over the years forged a friendship that was to last a lifetime.
After leaving school, we enjoyed two camping holidays in Europe – this one in 1965, and another the following year. We were both working, making a bit of money (though not much) and enjoying life to the full. In due course Martin met and fell in love with his girlfriend Sue, and in 1968 they married. I was best man. And as time progressed, they had three children, to whom I was honoured to be godfather.
But towards the end of the 1960s, Martin was diagnosed with a particularly vicious strain of multiple sclerosis, and it wasn’t long before he was unable to walk. In his mid-twenties he was condemned (the only word) to a wheelchair and his promising career as a quantity surveyor was over.
The years went by and this most pernicious of diseases continued unrelentingly to play havoc with Martin’s nervous and immune systems until it eventually reaped its final horror. In June 2000, this good and decent man died at the age of 55 – far too young.
From the age of 15 right through to the end, Martin was my closest friend. I still miss him, of course I do; just as Sue misses him as a husband and his children miss him as a father (and now, indeed, a grandfather). But thankfully the memories live on, as do scores of photographs documenting his life.
Here he is on a campsite in Bled, Yugoslavia, during that wonderful holiday in 1965. This became his mother’s favourite photo of him; it’s probably mine, too.
A few other photos from that memorable holiday are here.
29 June 2005. I lived, thinking that I was alive. Within 24-hours I would realise that I had not been really living at all – that mentally, emotionally and spiritually I was already half dead.
We all have the gift of imagination in order to believe in a different reality, a better future.
Inspiration is the light we see in the darkness, even if we have to create the source of that light in an alternate reality deep within our psyche.
12 May 2013. If I had never been so sick, I would not be the better person I am today – spiritually, emotionally and mentally.
The fuller version to explain what Mario has to do with any of this is in the comments.

It is ironic that the Kiss Goodbye to MS campaign asks us to smile for today's photo challenge.
With your comments, faves and views, my current pledge is $481.15 - now that is something to smile about. Although the new format for flickr is not :)
Only 10 days left to share and image with the pledge to kiss goodbye group. Every person that signs up to the pledge and posts a photo to help raise awareness about MS contributes to my pledge to MS Australia at the end of this month.
If you are able, please make a donation to my fund raiser's page Palo's Pledge. All funds go directly to MS Australia to further research and to provide service to those affected by MS.

If anyone knows of someone in South Wales diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis , then please direct them here . Thanks. :)
In support of the Kiss Goodbye to MS campaign, I am making the following pledge for the month of May. I will personally donate to the campaign 5c for every view, 10c for every fave, and 25c for every comment that is left on my posts dedicated to this campaign during this month.
If you would like to support the raising awareness of MS, I invite you to join Pledge to Kiss Goodbye which I have set up. There are 31 themes based on the clues from the official MS Australia campaign. For every person that joins the group and posts at least one photo that relates to one of the themes and raises the awareness of MS in their description, I will donate 50c to MS research. If you post at least 4 images during the month of May relating to the themes and raising awareness, my personal donation will increase to $1.00.

So there we were yesterday, doing what we do- Huw gardening and me photoing, when news broke that we we were featured in this you tube video 😳
If you can , then listen to it - it's very moving
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACno0VSul7g&feature=youtu.be
I couldn't figure the other day why I was approached for a photo of both of us - I'd prefer to be behind the camera and Huw by nature is camera shy. We appear about 3/4 of the way through the youtube vid, but instead of forcing anyone anyone to watch it, I've brazenly put it in comments, one of the group that I captured last year and finally the lady who inspired the song.
I keep asking myself, how did I get here apart from the obvious when I prefer wildlife and the great outdoors ?

MS hug gave me the uncomfortable sensation of tightness or compression around the torso or chest. Other times it was like a sharp pain in my heart area that made me think I was having a heart attack. When I felt MS Hug the first time I was having the last relapse before my diagnosis. By that time it was like I was trying to stand before a giant wave of turbulence. On the inside I felt like I was suffocating. Like It was taking my breath away, compressing my muscles, squeezing me tight, crushing my ribs. Sometimes I wanted to scream but there was no room enough for this. On the outside I looked perfectly fine. It's a misleading name, but I can say that It is an "unforgettable" hug.
Vision problems have always been a symptom that struck me the most. I used to have a blank spot in the upper part of my right eye. I had it for several weeks in different times for too long. The worst part was the doctor saying, "There's nothing wrong with you." I needed help to go to the doctor. I couldn't get there by myself but "there's nothing wrong with me?" Sometimes I used to pretend that everything was ok, going through the day as if I wasn't feeling anything until it was all I could feel. It drove me crazy. It was almost like a white blindness. I felt desperate, hopeless and mad. It was a daily battle of my broken eyes against a perfectly beautiful world.
Even in the darkest hours, I see your light beckoning me home. I know of no greater happiness than that feeling of finding my way home.
The penultimate post for the Kiss Goodbye to Multiple Sclerosis campaign is "someone who makes me happy".
Only a couple of days left to help raise awareness about MS by sharing a post with the pledge to kiss goodbye group. Or if you are able you can make a donation to Palo's Pledge, where the funds go directly to MS Australia to further research into this disease. Thank you.

I have read so many personal stories this past couple of weeks, and each one has touched me. One of the recurring themes that has come out of these stories is that each of us, at different times in our lives, need hope and validation in order to live life well.
Some illnesses like multiple sclerosis, crohn's disease, fibromyalgia, lyme disease are difficult to diagnose as the symptoms can be mistaken for so many illnesses or it is so difficult to accurately describe what the symptoms are like that often those symptoms are dismissed by ourselves and the medical profession. While waiting for diagnosis we may lose hope and begin to doubt ourselves ... and before long a negative spiral of emotional and mental distress compounds our ability to cope. All we need is hope and validation.
My current pledge is $419.50 Each of your comments, views and faves are contributing to that pledge.

First of all I hope the explanation isn't TMI.... no sooner had we arrived at Gnoll Country Park and Estate today that I had the sixth episode in 6 months of a little problem with my eyes called nystagmus. Last week when I saw my Clinical Nurse Specialist about this he asked me to describe it e.g. was it rolling, wavy, zig zaggy? but at the time I failed to come up with anything. Today however as I sat waiting for it to pass, I came up with the notion that it was akin to zoom burst photography but not half as bad as it looks here ( my Photoshops skills aren't that good😉 ) but wavy, moving lines on my peripheral vision.
The Naked Clown Calendar benefits Multiple Sclerosis. It features students from the San Francisco School for Circus Arts. It's on sale now. There are some really attractive clowns also. I thought this one was hilarious.
Why are so many male clowns redheaded?

A woman who has multiple sclerosis makes unique canes and staffs, and sells them for income. When she heard of my wife, Janice, who also has MS, the woman sent one as a gift.
I took this photo as part of a "thank you."
This young harpist brought those words to life this afternoon in Swansea's Mansion House this afternoon at a Tea with Fizz, Friends and Music' charity function. Monies raised will go to MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Research via MS Society Cymru.
One of the things that was very important to me was the tour of Puebla that we patients got, in between the chemo treatments which was provided by our very cool drivers. Even though we had to stay in the van, due to COVID, it was still important for our mental health to be out and about. And a great reminder that we are all connected to this world.

Despite a summertime flare-up of her multiple sclerosis symptoms, Janice was determined to walk to the top of a hill in one of our favorite parks. She made it! Perhaps it's determination that helps keep her well.
This weekend we had a helluva storm with brought in a very low pressure system. I used to like storms, even though they bothered my arthritis a little.
Now… not so much.
All of me is hurting with my MS.

“All hope abandon, ye who enter here!”
Dante’s Inferno
One of the things that I did not expect from my MS was the psychological trauma one of my unexpected symptoms gave me: apathy. The apathy had been growing inside me.
One night, last summer, I received an email that my flight to get HSCT, was cancelled (a few days earlier, I had painstakingly arranged my flight). The news of the flight cancellation hit me like a baseball bat to the head…
and I felt nothing.
I stopped caring about everything and everyone.
I didn’t care if I lived.
I didn’t care if I died.
I didn’t care about my MS.
I didn’t care about my family.
I didn’t care about my friends.
There was only complete and utter nothingness.
A perfect void.
The next day I woke and felt white hot rage.
“Oh fucking hell no!” were the first words out of my mouth and I knew the moment of emptiness had passed. I was making new plans to get to my treatment. Little did I know that my flight would be cancelled three more times. The apathy did not return.
I’d go though the flight cancellations and the anger again, though, if I had to. So long as I'd never to go back to that place of emptiness.
Ever.

MS Awareness Week. I decided on this shot of BOB (Multiple Sclerosis Trusts mascot) to promote MS awareness week 11-17 March in America and 29 April to 5 May in UK. Just want to say thankyou to my two kids who ran round the house to find lots of blue things to make this picture.
MS Awareness Week is about encouraging people like me and you to give people with multiple sclerosis a chance. So what is it exactly?
In short: a progressive disease affecting the brain and spinal chord. The effects can vary from person to person, so to understand more about the different levels and symptoms take a look at these MS facts. In 2012 the campaign slogan urged you to 'Be bold in blue!' That meant anything from blue-themed parties or cake sales to ... dyeing your hair blue! It didn't look good on me before, but for charity ...
There are plenty of other options too. Why not give a talk in your local community? Or if public speaking isn't your thing write a letter to your local newspaper - or even skydive to raise money!
It will be a challenge but worth it if we can draw attention to the cause and help suffers at the same time.
And don't forget to get on facebook or twitter and post facts to raise awareness or make your picture blue. Online networking campaigns are usually so successful because information is delivered so fast between everyone. And the sooner the better!
For more details about MS Awareness Week go to the official website.

Today's Kiss Goodbye to Multiple Sclerosis theme is brain. I decided to repost this image from 2010 and some of the words that accompanied the original post ...
I tell myself that in hating this disease, I have learned to love myself, at least a little.
I tell myself that I truly mourn for what I have lost, but am grateful for what I have gained.
I tell myself that this illness will not define me, yet it cries out for attention,
but how can that be in a world filled with so much pain,
for I know I am one of the lucky ones.
I tell myself that I will be strong, yet I am frightened.
I tell myself that this is meant to be, yet I scream with anger and frustration.
I tell myself that in posting this picture, I have taken another step towards acceptance and healing.
MS and me are still getting to know each other and we both keep changing and we will do so for life.
... for whatever I learn, and feel, and lose and gain along the way, you will forever live inside my head.
By sharing a photo to my Pledge to Kiss Goodbye group, you will boost my personal pledge to MS Australia this month. I will be adding $17.95 to that tally based on the view, comments and faves that this image received from it's original post date.
Current pledge tally : $122.99

During May, MS Australia is raising awareness about Multiple Sclerosis through a special Kiss Goodbye to MS campaign.
In Australia, Multiple Sclerosis affects more than 23,000 Australian, with 75% of those inflicted with the disease being women. The cause of MS is not known. There is no cure. The progression and impact of the disease on each individual is unpredictable and presents differently on a case by case basis.
I am fortunate not to be dependent on my walking stick, yet it is a constant reminder that, that may not always be the case. This month, I plan to participate in the Kiss Goodbye to Multiple Sclerosis campaign through my images.

After the recent walk for multiple sclerosis awareness, I decided I need a tee shirt with the important message. So, here it is, straight from Amazon! My wife, Janice, lives with MS.
In case you've never come across the word myelin, it refers to a fatty substance that coats our nerves, like the plastic cover on telephone wire. The immune system of a person with MS will attack the myelin, stripping away the insulation and preventing the electric signals we depend on from transmitting properly.
The good news is that our bodies will replace myelin that we lose. That's one of the basic things to know about multiple sclerosis. But, we need our own defense system to stop attacking us. Go after the bad guys instead!
My public service announcement for today. HSS, everyone!
This is Swansea's Singleton Hospital as seen from a balcony of Swansea University's Institute of Life Science. I along with many others including the Mayor of Neath/Port Talbot had been invited here on a tour of the MS Research labs, research which which is funded by MS Society UK. A fascinating insight into the current research going on in my hometown and a particularly moving talk by a PhD student whose aim in life ever since her childhood after seeing and chatting with an aunt who was affected by MS is a life dedicated to this
I also took many others photos as the official photographer for the event which are destined elsewhere, not for Flickr.
One morning, when I was with my wife during her chemo cost, I went and got coffee. I was able to take 6 steps without my cane! I’ve been using my cane more for balance lately and not putting as much weight on it as I used to. This is a huge deal for me! ^_^

This is the “Walk MS” I participated in last Saturday, which is a benefit walk for the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
I ran up head trying to get to a park bench to stand on to get a shot of the depth of the people but, didn’t make it before the highlanders pipeband marched to the side to let everyone pass. Glad I turned around when I did to take this shot. The pipe band sounded great, especially being that close and looked like a nice turnout of participants for Walk MS.

MS is difficult to diagnose. There is no single test to identify MS. It shares symptoms with many other chronic and neurological diseases.
Prognosis and the progression of MS is difficult to predict. MS symptoms vary from individual to individual and can fluctuate within an individual over the course of the disease. There is not always an overt progression of the disease in that lesions may be developing without any noticeable physical symptoms.
MS is the most cause of non-traumatic disability among young and middle-aged people. MS may lead to permanent physical disability. Within 15 years of onset, more than 80% of sufferers have some physical limitation, more that 50% will require help to walk, 70% will have limited or inability to perform daily activities, 75% will be unemployed.
The cause of MS is unknown. Currently there are no overly effective treatments to halt progression of the disease. There is no cure. Current medications have significant side effects, and on average have less than a 30% probability in reducing the progression of the disease. Many find the medications not an acceptable option to manage the disease.
As with many chronic illnesses, clinical depression is common amongst those with MS. It has been estimated that the suicide rate amongst MS sufferers is 7.5 times greater than the general population. It is estimated that over 30% of those diagnosed with MS suffer from social anxiety.
Up to 65% of MS patients report cognitive dysfunction. There may be a reduction in abstract and reasoning skills, verbal fluency, attention deficits, impaired visual spatial judgment and short term memory.
Any number of symptoms may present during the course of the disease including dysarthia, paralysis, paresis, spasms, spasticity, spastic paralysis, tremors, seizures, dysethesia, fatigue, hold and cold sensations, pruritis, numbness, tingling, pain, dysphagia, double vision, optic atrophy, loss of sight, abnormal sensitivity, coordination and balance issues, gait ataxia, bowel and bladder problems, cognitive dysfunction, optic neuritis, anxiety, depression, extreme emotional and mood swings. It is an overwhelming list.
My current pledge is $685.90 (excluding the contributions by those made to the pledge to kiss goodbye group)
I have received $830 in donations. Thank you to everyone for their generosity.
Tomorrow - 29 MAY - is WORLD MS DAY

Today is my last day as an art teacher. I need to retire from teaching due to my MS, so I can concentrate on healing.
I was very lucky to have worked with truly inspiring people these eight years. I was very lucky to have had such amazing students.
The previews are over.
Let the real show begin.

My son was 5 years old when I had my first MS episode. The onset was sudden and dramatic. I completely lost all awareness of the left hand side of my body from head to toe - it felt I had been sliced in half. Half of me was alive, the other half no longer existed. I could not stand without falling over like a drunken sailor, I was unable to walk. Although I still had the physical capability to do so, my brain simply could not send or receive the neurological impulses to or from my body and make sense of them as a call to action. I was given access to a wheelchair during my rehabilitation, but it was like sitting in a boat with only one paddle - all I could do was go around in circles.
With the energetic enthusiasm that only a 5 year old can harness, M8 would "frog march" me down the hospital corridors intoning the commands - "Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right". Somehow his words helped my brain to interpret the words into action, my brain was simply too tired to even form the thought of words for itself. My gait may have been shuffled and uncoordinated and without a walking frame I may not have gotten very far, but a few metres of walking gave me hope that one day I would be able to walk again unaided. I had Captain Support walking beside me.
Every time my balance is poor or my ability to walk is compromised, I hear my son's 5 year old voice in my head - Left, Right, Left .... from time to time we all need support, sometimes we are too proud or stubborn to accept it, sometimes we just need a different source of inspiration to get us through.

Continuing my series of My Ms Journey - The Pain Behind The Beauty where I photograph my Multiple Sclerosis symptoms.
*
It happens everyday and every time I move my head down. Then a wave of electric power runs through my body until reaches my feet. I feel it since the beginning of my journey with MS. I have memories of sitting on my mom's bed one day and realizing about that force while I was putting my head down to reach out to something. The thing about my MS is that most of symptoms showed itself on my daily life very subtle. There was me oblivious to what was happening, the persistence of the symptom and then the awakening.The symptoms blended with my body in everyday life. Presenting itself in small doses makes somehow I get used to it.
Are you hoping to become the people you hang out with? ...or... Do you think "I'm happy I'm not like them?" . Since we learn through osmosis, you are already just like the people you hang out with. . People message me asking how I can be so positive with a #multiplesclerosis diagnosis, it's all in the people I hang out with....and controlling my thoughts. . #quote #quotes #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #quotesforyou #success #successquotes
