I am thankful to be nominated by shopgirl anonymous https://shopgirlanonymous.com/2017/01/17/7-funny-side-effects-of-working-retail/. She is such a seasoned blogger that I read her posts and I’m in awe. She is insightful, interesting, funny and a great writer. When she posts and writes about a mall, you feel like you have taken the journey with her shopping in the mall. It’s like visiting a place you’ve never been. Friday’s are food court Friday’s, a fun venture everyone can participate in.  Her blog is more than…

A few months ago  there was this sound this clanking sound coming from the refrigerator. I must say I can follow directions put things together, tighten things when they seem loose, make minor repairs but major breakdowns, I’m not your girl. When I heard the clanking I knew it was the compressor or something, but that’s about it. I lowered the temperature of the refrigerator from 5 to 0 for a few minutes turned it back up and sound was…

If you have ever read my blog or not, my biggest personal growth this year was reading A Course in Miracles. It’s a book compromised of a reading section, a workbook section and a teachers manuel. I am on the workbook section now which is a lesson a day for 365 days.  I start everyday reading the workbook. I’m currently on lesson 181. Like any spiritual path, A Course of Miracles is not a religion, it is a way of…

Unfortunately, I have not escaped side effect free from my Rituxan infusion on Monday.  However it’s not the Rituxan that is the problem it’s the steroid, as I figured it might be. Definitely not as bad as last time but I definitely don’t feel well. So instead of a long blog I got humor this morning with my puppy Zoey that I thought I’d share. Zoey loves socks doesn’t matter if they are on your feet or not. This morning…

So once again little Zoey back at the vet. She has another respitory infection. However it is only one of the reasons she was there.  My veterinarian has received at least one email a day from me for the last two weeks straight. I’ve had 2 dogs at this office for the last 10 years but it wasn’t until Zoey came along, a little over a month ago, that the ENTIRE office now knows me. On a wonderful note about…

Rituxan infusion possible side effects-a patients perspective

Rituxan infusion possible side effects-a patients perspective

Comments 2 comments

As expected I was extremely tired after. It’s because of the large amount of Benadryl that is given. I was in bed asleep by 9:00. I’d love to say that was unusual for me, but during the week that’s my normal bed time.  I woke up with a little stomach ache. That can be a number of reasons but it is listed as a side effect of the rituxan. I don’t remember it from any of the other times I…

Third time I’m being infused with Rituxan. I was able to change my infusion place back to my home town instead of NYC. Saves at least 3 hours of the day. I got here at 9am and it’s 9:57 IV is just beginning. Why an hour? Well they didn’t get the doctors orders. Now it is a federal holiday today so getting in touch with the doctor wasn’t going to be easy. Her office at Mount Sinai in NYC is…

The multiple sclerosis exhaustion point

It’s amazing how a day can turn. There comes a point in the evening with multiple sclerosis my body just has enough. My daughter has learned this point well over the years. It’s when she asks me a question or tells me she needs something at 8-9 at night but my mind and body is fond and shut down. Instead of responding like a normal human being I loose my marbles on her. That happened a little early last night…

Okay I have to write about the puppy.  Meet Zoey… Zoey has been with us for one month tomorrow.  For anyone who hasn’t read my blog, she came to us one week before my beloved Boomer died un expectantly. Talk about the universe knowing what you need. If I wasn’t a believer, I certainly would be now. The first few days with Zoey were tough. She was four months old but had an upper respitory infection and Giardia. She wasn’t…

Multiple Sclerosis check in since becoming vegan

Multiple Sclerosis check in since becoming vegan

Comments 17 comments

Let me start by reiterating the reasons WHY I decided to become vegan. I was told by my sister and a friend about a movie Forks Over Knives. The movie is about how most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that can afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting animal based and processed foods. There is also a book by Roy Swank called The Multiple Sclerosis Diet Book. In his book Dr. Swank also believed in…
