HOLY SHIT!!!
I am a published author – or maybe I have to wait for someone to actually buy a copy to officially call myself a writer?!?!?!?
TO VIEW AND PURCHASE MY BOOK ON AMAZON
I am freaking out and feeling proud all at the same time – and talk about sensory overload – Arty is in full meltdown – but we are ignoring him at the moment because at the moment -this shit is about me and what I have finally managed to do!!
I wrote a book – and then I managed to actually remember that I wrote a book! Over the years, I have pulled it out from time to time, trying to make it flow and find a cohesion in the stories, but both my physical and mental abilities have gotten in the way time and time again. I would find moments of clarity to focus on it – only to be led down another rabbit hole of this disease – increased pain, a new vision issue, more fatigue, a flair, a return of the dreaded constipation….there was always something that would pull my attention away from the book and then once that happened it would be weeks and months until I would get back to it. Only to discover that I had no memory of ever writing it – I remembered the stories, but the writing style wouldn’t be familiar and I would begin to re-write it. This has happened so many times over the years I’ve lost count – BUT I have now done it! I have managed to stay on track and focused for long enough to see this project through!
I have NO doubt that cannabis and CBD played a HUGE roll in this!
For the longest time, I thought that this was about being able to show the world that there is life after diagnosis but now I am realizing that this is just a stepping stone to bigger things! I am a writer and I am SO excited to try and tell the world how really messed up and fucking crazy it is to live with MS. What it’s like to live with an “invisible disease” because I KNOW I don’t look there is anything wrong with me – believe me, I have heard those words – and truthfully, they are magic to my ears. It means that I have succeeded in being a badass and not allowing this disease to define me and I have some GREAT ideas to promote understanding and awareness but I NEED this book to be my wings. I NEED people to take note of it so that the people that might be able to help me with my project will hear about me.
SO I am shamelessly coming to you – all of you. The ones that have known me through all the bumps and hurdles of my life. Those that I have met on the phone or in real life. Those that I have known for years and the friends and acquaintances I have made from all over the world because of this fantastical disease. Whether you found me 6 plus years ago when I first started trying to get the words that live in my head out on my blog, or we have more recently connected because of cannabis and CBD and my new journey of living a “pharmaceutical free” life, or if you have simply landed here on accident, I BEG you….PLEASE go buy my book! And if you could share this and BEG all the people you have ever met in you entire life to buy a copy as well, that would be super great!
Hopefully, I will have WAY more to share shortly – once my book goes big and I get someone to produce my “oh so brilliant” Netflix idea:)
AGAIN CLICK HERE TO BUY MY BOOK AND PLEASE REMEMBER TO THEN LEAVE A REVEIW – SO PEOPLE KNOW HOW AMAZING IT IS:)

I am so excited to read your book. I have decided to wean myself off my drugs. They are now causing so many symptoms I don’t know what’s ms or not.
I definitely want off morphine ( as I need those 10 years of my life..thx) I have been medicating my pain and spasms illegally as here in Northern Ireland it’s 1921. We are slightly behind the times in every aspect.
I want to know how you did it , the side effects, how it changed your life. My fear is that the pain will be too much after I kick the morphine and the cannabis won’t cut it alone.
Hope your book is a massive success babe and best of luck to you in your new adventures. Xx
Hi Debbie!
Thanks so much for your kind words! I am currently working on book number two, which tells about how I did it – but really, I just went off each drug really slowly – making reductions to doses week by week – ONE drug at a time. It took months, but finally was off of anything and then I choose to live without anything for a few months. Firstly to see just how my body felt “a la natural, with no drugs” and partly because I was scared shitless to go into the dispensaries around here for the first time:)
THEN I slowly began buying and trying all sorts of different things until I finally began to find consumption methods and strains that help me!
I hope you stick around – the ride only gets better from here!!!
Sending healing vibes!

Congratulations!!! This is an absolutely AMAZING accomplishment and I am beyond happy for you!!! I might have to pick your brain someday because it really has been my dream to write a book. We will see what happens with that though. I am going to go on Amazon and check your book out. Seriously, I hope you celebrate your accomplishment this weekend and actually the rest of the year!!!!
Thanks Alyssa!
More than happy to share what I have learned – but be warned, it’s not much. Feel like it was just enough to get the job done;) But I can certainly tell you what NOT to do:)
Cheers!
