I’m happy to report after putting myself to bed at 9pm and sleeping until 9am I’m feeling better. I must say I hit my overwhelmed state yesterday evening. I’m off my routine completely. I haven’t meditated in four days, I haven’t really worked my course of miracles workbook in two days and yesterday I skipped an exercise day which I haven’t done in months. Let me tell you it makes a difference. School starts again tomorrow for my daughter and…
Did I ever make a post for part one? Not even sure. But I know I’ve had a lot of posts about dating and here’s another one. I’m going on a date today actually in a couple hours but this one I’m looking forward to. This is a gentleman from match.com. He actually reminds me of a good friend of mine that I met on match.com probably nine years ago already. We went on one date to a Paul McCartney…
Dear Multiple Sclerosis, It’s been 18+ years you’ve been in my life. Your like that negative friend I can’t break away from. I’ve written this letter to you before but my life coach has asked me to revisit it because she feels that maybe I wasn’t fully honest in that letter. You see I try to put up a brave face. When the diagnosis came people were devastated around me and I felt I needed to be strong. It wasn’t…
I remember 18+ years ago being at that neurologist office when my entire left side of my body wasn’t functioning. I couldn’t really walk, I had muscle atrophy, numbness, weakness and gait difficulty. The doctor asked if anyone else in my family had MS. He knew before the MRI was even done. I sat crying in a chair as my mom leaned in front of me and said “everything was going to be ok”. We got in the car to…
JI had a nice unexpected guess yesterday in the form of my sister she came over cause she had some time to kill which was really nice to see her. However she told me she couldn’t read my blog lately because it’s been depressing her. I do have to admit it’s been a tough couple of weeks so this one’s for her will be more upbeat because I’m really doing a lot better than I was. There really is something…
OK in my case maybe it’s two days. Yesterday I decided it’s time to put the sadness behind me I put my braces in my sneakers, I put my foot in the sneakers, I tied up my sneakers and I walked out the door. I drove with the braces which was a little difficult but maybe it will take more time or maybe I can’t drive with the braces haven’t decided that one yet. I got to my destination and…
Wow I was going fast into depression the medicine the braces the $130 for shoes I hated the bad phone call with mom. I just was so upset cried for hours straight. It just compounds on you sometimes but now add steroids into the mix and presto recipe for a bad situation. I can’t believe how bad I felt yesterday I really just wanted to give up something that has never been in my nature. I slept all day today…
Ive been a Humpty Dumpty collector since I was a baby. I’ve had past blogs on my childhood friends. I still sleep with them at the age of almost 45 and I’m not embarrassed. They make me happy and give me a sense of security. After long days and tough battles I’ve stopped apologizing for the little things that put a smile on my face. The picture above was a pin given to me when I was first diagnosed with…
A week in my MS world. I already had my rant of distress this week. So far the week has been better but it’s Thursday and I still have a lot going on. If you have MS maybe you’ve heard of the studies of biotin in high dosages that seem to help people with more progressive stages of the disease. This study which was done in the US is still small but larger ones have been done in other countries….
