It is terrible what the market is doing. Since people are scared and buying supplies as if the world is about to end, there are those looking to make a fast buck. I’m sure everyone has seen the price of hand sanitizer, masks or gloves at ridiculous prices on Amazon or eBay. The products are flying off the shelves at the retail stores quicker than they can get shipments. I am unable to drive from store to store looking for…

Well I canceled my therapy until further notice. After my blogs last week Not liking physical therapy PT like it or not…, you’d think I’d be happy making this decision but I really wasn’t. I’m not trying to be overly dramatic about the Coronavirus but I am trying to be smart. In therapy I can name fifty surfaces or more I touch that someone else has touch seconds before. They do not sanitize every surface in between patients. It is…

So my mom called yesterday and discussed the coronavirus with me and my weakened immune system. I can’t lie I was expecting this conversation with her and was pretty amazed she’s lasted this long. I also have to admit it’s been in my head. To make things worse, my infusion is coming up. I decided to write to my MS specialist. This is what she wrote me back: Hi Jamie, I hear you. Right now there are only a few…
I’m distracted today. I’m watching the sun shine and twinkle off the water. There is even a boat. It is my favorite thing to look at. I know I’ve said this so many times but I just can never get enough of the sight. I can get lost in my view. I love everything about where I live. There has been NO construction on the corner site. Will there be? I’m sure. The land was purchased for close to 4…
Good morning and happy hump day to all. Got through the day of exhaustion from therapy yesterday. At least I had a justifiable reason for being fatigued. I even made it to my hair appointment and no more grey hairs, at least for the next 5-6 weeks. My wonderful hair dresser, who is also a good friend, even blew out my hair for me saving me a step so I didn’t have to deal with it myself. I’m almost due…
This might be brief. I just got home from my double therapy sessions. I am wiped out as expected. OT was challenging and PT was hard as expected. I can’t say I dislike my new PT therapist she knows what she is doing but makes me work. She is more focused on my exercises, all of them. Today she had me doing the leg press from the chair. I’ve done this a million times in therapy and found it to…
So after a second day of consuming a regiment of oregano oil and using Doterra Breathe, I got into bed sneezed once and never sneezed again. Achoo-ing through the night. Woke up fine. So strange!!!! I’m doing much better with the Provigil. I’m so happy to report. I am no longer waking up exhausted as if I never slept. That has been such a huge difference that I’ve been able to get back to my life. I have still been…
The other bight I was kept awake sneezing my head off. I’ve used a million tissues. I woke up and immediately start my regiment of consuming pure oregano oil in water and by mid morning the sneezing stopped. I had a sneeze here or there but nothing like the evening. Then I went to bed last night and the sneezing began again. I once again was up most of the night. Between the sneezing and blowing my nose, there wasn’t…
