Hi, I’m Kate MacKellar-Still and I live in Bristol, UK. I used to be a teacher and now I run my own travel and digital marketing businesses. I love to travel, speak foreign languages, dance, be outdoors, balcony and indoor garden, cook, spend time with my wonderful friends and family and YES, I HAVE MS. I have Relapsing Remitting MS and for me, it is an invisible illness which is why I’ve decided to call this blog, YES, I HAVE MS. This is what I commonly repeat to someone when I first tell them that I have MS, as it normally comes as a surprise! The thing that most people don’t understand is that MS presents and progresses differently for every single person that has it. I am truly grateful that most of the time my symptoms are mild and on a really good day almost non-existent. On a bad day...well, I don’t like to dwell on the bad days, but you will read about them as and when they come. You can read about my diagnosis here. I’ve decided to write this blog because when I was first diagnosed I found it really hard to find anyone who was writing about the MS that I have experienced. When I was trying to understand what it meant to have MS I found lots of stories of suffering, wheelchairs and walking aids. It terrified me. I thought my life was over. I want to reassure you now that my life was most certainly not over and that having MS has not stopped me from living my life or pursuing my dreams. I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that MS will be along for the ride and that’s OK. So, this blog is intended to add another voice, another experience to the spectrum that is living with MS. I hope that it helps you if you’ve been newly diagnosed, are living with MS long-term or if you are looking to learn more about MS for a loved one.  If you have any questions or would like to talk, I am here for you– just drop me an email.  Lots of love Kate xoxo
