I became vegan on December 2, 2016. I made the choice because I have multiple sclerosis. I am secondary progressive multiple sclerosis which means I continue to get worse slowly over time. My symptoms vary and are more or less severe depending on the day, however it’s never great. I decided to go vegan to eat healthier, lower the inflammation in my body and to see if I’d feel any better. This is what I’ve found so far. You have…
Let me first address the fact that it took an hour and 45 minutes to get into the city for my check up. That means I’m doing nothing for all that time. I was her first appointment that morning. When we do my neurological checks and timed walking, I’m at the best I’m going to be. Therefore the check up is based on this point. However how realistic is it? This is the first time I was her first appointment,…
I can’t even write a post today. I know what I wanted to write I just don’t have any more energy to do it. So far this morning I’ve had to go and recopy Social security documents that I sent out yesterday. The reason why is because they were too big to fit behind the mailbox for the mailman to actually take so my daughter left them in the mailbox and I have no idea if it was actually taken…
It’s a rainy, foggy, and dreary day in New York. I’m a passenger in my own car. I have an early morning appointment at my neurologist in the city. Besides the basic neurological tests, we will discuss the possible switch to Ocrelizumab (Ocrevus) and my MRI results. ive already written about my bulging disk result from the spine.https://multipleexperiences.org/2017/04/01/multiple-sclerosis-symptoms-in-my-head/ My neurologist wrote me yesterday “good news, the brain MRI is stable”. It is good news, I know that. However it’s been the…
Every morning I sit down with my cup of coffee, and I decide what I want to write about. Today being no different than any other day. Marshmallow, of course the snuggling up next to me, and Zoey’s running rampage through the house. All of a sudden Zoey comes out running out of my daughter’s room with a sneaker in her mouth. Wish I caught the actual action shot but had to settle for this instead. I’m up your Social…
He was a dog. He was my first dog. He wasn’t here yesterday to celebrate Marshy’s 8 birthday and I missed him. He will never be replaced. No dog can ever be him. I want to kiss his head one more time. I want to hug him around the neck, tell him how much I love him. He is missed. He will always be missed. There will never be another Boomer. That’s all I felt like saying today.
My doctor called yesterday because she received part of the results of my MRI. Turns out I have a bulging disc in my neck area on the right side. I at first thought, oh, that maybe could explain the tendonitis I’m having in my shoulder but that’s my left side. Unless they consider the right side when they are viewing in front of you in which case their right is my left. Then my doctor said maybe that could explain some…
I was future tripping yesterday. A very evil thing to do. Future tripping, in my world, is when you worry about what’s going to happen in the future when you really have no idea. So you get your all worked up over a possibility but not an actuality. I future trip over the same three things in my life; my multiple sclerosis,where am I going to live or my finances. I work hard at NOT doing it but one of…
Yesterday the approval was made for Ocrelizumab for multiple sclerosis. If you don’t have access to the Internet, a newspaper , listen to the news, watch the news, have a friend, or a loved one, or possibly live under a rock, you might not of heard. This drug has been showing promise and talked about for a long time now. I’ve actually been angry at all the buzz this drug has been getting., The reason why is because I’ve been…
It’s strangely quiet in my house, which is weird when everyone is home. Mikayla is sleeping next to me, she woke up with a migraine so is going into school late. Marshy, who just got his vaccinations at the vet yesterday, is under the blanket. Zoey is sleeping next to me and in about an hour is going to the vet for her surgery. Me, I just did my Zumba, sitting on the couch, trying to recover my legs. I…
