I met this girl when we were 15. I was at her Sweet 16. We were at each other’s wedding. Last night she was my first sleepover guest in my condo. 30 years of friendship and we lived in two different countries. This was long before the internet, email and Facebook. That’s say something. I went to college a half an hour from the Montreal border, that helped. This girl can bring a smile to my face a tear to…
Today I post a fairly simple question, has anybody used medical marijuana and had a positive effect on your bladder incontinence? I know in the past when I’ve used marijuana one of the better side effects for me, was it caused a hesitancy in my bladder. I can have this sometimes in the middle of the night when I can’t get my muscles to release right away to use the bathroom. The other time has happened was after using marijuana….
As sent to me from my life coach: This is just a little Sunday reminder to: Hear yourself Honor yourself Heal yourself Know yourself Protect yourself Inspire yourself Enjoy yourself Celebrate yourself And Love yourself Don’t wait for somebody else to do this for you– (they can’t!). Nobody deserves it more than you!!!! So I encourage you to ask yourself: What is one thing that you can do today, tomorrow, (and/or the next day) to make it the “best day…
I’ve worked on my issues with money for the past few years with my life coach. I use to live in fear. I was in complete credit card debit, couldn’t afford most things I bought and was always in fear I would never have enough. Guess what? I never had enough. My life coach had helped me to change the way I look at my money. I used a mantra all the time, and still do, money is easy and…
I don’t know what I want to say today. I asked for other people’s input and they all said weather. Lol that’s a boring topic. I am blocked because I haven’t done anything since I haven’t felt well except watch tv. I have been watching big brother. I personally love it. I started at the first season and I’m on season 8 currently. Although in my defense I couldn’t get many episodes in the first 6 seasons. They wouldn’t load…
I hate being this person. I hate making the decisions and choices and saying No to things because “I don’t feel good”. I’m use to all this garbage but I still hate it. I got a long week coming up. And I just haven’t been feeling great. I canceled a lot of stuff over the last two weeks and I’m happy to say that at least I could. I’m lucky that I’m in the position and I have the option…
I have a label. Not really the label I would’ve liked, but it’s mine. For the one or two times I’ve been in the emergency room I have the bracelet labeling me a fall risk. On my nursing assessment I’m labeled a fall risk. My recent aid agency evaluation I have bright neon yellow stickers on all my papers. I’m a fall risk and I have the cuts and bruises to prove it. I’m always bruised somewhere, usually my knees…
I guess this is kind of like a part two to yesterday’s blog before I was diagnosed. https://multipleexperiences.org/2018/06/25/before-i-had-multiple-sclerosis/ What I’m not going to write here is about my attack in 2014 that really disabled me. What I am going to say is what I would change if I could go back. Again hindsight is 20/20 but this is for the newly diagnosed and people more on the early side of their onset of multiple sclerosis. When your first diagnosed, it’s…
I was 26 years old when I was diagnosed. I’m 46 now. It’s been 20 years. It’s hard to remember what life was like before it. It becomes a blur because I also had my daughter at 27. When I had my first attack, my entire left side went numb with muscle atrophy and they needed to rule out stroke. Due to this fact they made me come off birth control. They just forgot to tell me I was clear…
This is from the book Thin from Within, a little recipe to get those bowels moving. Pretty simple recipe. My sister adds a little almond extract to the recipe. Just mix and refrigerate for a few hours. At first the consistency threw me but once I got past that, I found it actually pretty good. Plus it works that’s the main thing. Try it out and tell me what you think. This recipe calls for whole psyllium husk, I found…
