Where to begin? In December 2015, things were just bad. I was in but not in a relationship that wasn’t good. I was completely exhausted working as my multiple sclerosis was worsening. I was sad all the time. Disconnected from family and friends. I knew I was in a dark place, I just didn’t know where to even begin. My wonderful sister tried many things to help me and nothing made sense. I didn’t relate to anything. Then she went…
I just came back from NYC where I attended the spirit junkie masterclass. I am on a very high buzz from the excitement of the weekend and I’m going to blog about it tomorrow. Tonight, my friends, how about a yummy vegan recipe. Coconut macaroons are one of my favorite treats. Actually I love almost anything with coconut as much as I love chocolate. I was so happy stumbling across this recipe on One Green Planet http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/simple-coconut-macaroons/ I hope you enjoy…

I wrote a blog couple weeks ago titled am I depressed? https://multipleexperiences.org/2017/05/16/am-i-depressed/. I agree with everything I wrote, but when I saw my neurologist the other day, we decided to put Prozac back in my medicine mix. Where I don’t think I’m depressed, what isn’t fully in control, is my emotions. I cry over everything. I’ve written blogs about this too. I cry over happy things and sad things, it makes no difference. According to webmd: http://www.webmd.com/multiple-sclerosis/guide/ms-depression#1 The Link Between MS and…
Doctors, doctors and more doctors. I have a lot of appointments coming up. Yesterday I was saw my neurologist. He’s been the doctor I’ve been with the longest, the one who diagnosed me 19+ years ago. At this stage of the game with my MS he treats me systematically. The specialist in the city treats me for my major MS drug. This is a section from a my own blog about doctor day check ups. It’s doctor day. What does that…

My daughter’s first cochlear implant was done when she was 3 years old. When I made the decision to put in a cochlear implant, I was also making the decision to make her completely deaf. She would have absolutely no hearing in the implanted ear when the cochlear was off. This is a sweet video of a young boy whose implant was turned on for the first time https://youtu.be/9EVNfd1igoE. This was not AT ALL how it went for us. My daughter…
I have so much going on in the next month I’m a little overwhelmed. I’m trying not to think about it. The most important thing is my daughter turns 18 in a week. ONE WEEK SHE’S 18!!! How did this happen? What a long road we had. My daughter was born a little over a year after I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The neurologist took me off birth control, and the pullout method didn’t work. The best accident I…
