About me;
I’m Pirden! Since 2013, I have been living with MS, and I’m trying to make this journey more meaningful by focusing on the small joys in life.
My passion for writing, which started with notes I left for my mother when I was little, has made me a blogger. Writing is the best way for me to express my feelings. Living with MS has made me feel the value of communication and the power of words even more deeply.
I work from home, which provides an ideal environment for dealing with some of the challenges that come with living with MS. Avoiding phone calls and crowded meetings is a great relief for me as an Introvert. My favorite place is a quiet and peaceful corner of our home with my husband, John, where we spend time with our books and game console.
As someone with MS, I have learned how to manage my energy and set my boundaries. John has been a great support to me during this process. I am grateful to have him by my side on this journey.
In my blog, I talk about the challenges of living with MS and how I cope with them. But more importantly, I share the beauties and joys that life offers. Living with John gives me strength in my fight against MS, and I see every new day as a gift.
If you want to join me on this journey, do not hesitate to share your thoughts and experiences. Everyone’s story is different, but shared moments bring us all together.
With love,
Pirden
The Story Behind the Name “Crunchy Myelin”
The name of my blog, “Crunchy Myelin,” often piques curiosity. This name carries a multi-layered meaning. Firstly, “Myelin” refers to the protective sheath covering nerve cells, which is impacted in MS. As someone living with MS, the term “Myelin” holds significant importance to me.
But what about “Crunchy”? This word typically describes something crispy or brittle. Here, it serves as a metaphor for resilience and strength against life’s challenges and obstacles. Battling MS can sometimes be tough and distressing, but the strength and endurance gained in the process shouldn’t be overlooked.
Thus, “Crunchy Myelin” represents our ability to overcome life’s hurdles despite the challenges of living with MS. It also aims to draw attention to MS and raise awareness.
My blog is a platform for sharing the small joys, challenges, and triumphs we encounter in everyday life, alongside the experience of living with MS. “Crunchy Myelin” tells the story of my journey, struggles, and victories.
Through this name, I want to show that everyone living with MS can be strong and resilient. By exhibiting a ‘crunchy’ resilience against life’s challenges, we can make every day count.
