Yesterday I wrote about the seriousness of weakened chest muscles and multiple sclerosis I’m scared of this MS symptom. I haven’t seen my doctor yet but I received some advice from people that I thought I’d share that would also help. Purchase an Incentive Spirometer . There are many types of spirometers but this one is used to help increase patients lung function. 2. A humidifier A smart idea to keep moisture in the air to keep congestion as loose…
I’ve written about this before but it happened again yesterday and it really scared me. https://multipleexperiences.org/2017/01/23/multiple-sclerosis-serious-symptoms-respitory-issues/ I woke up not feeling well. I had this heavy feeling in my chest. Not like the MS hug symptom which is the tightening feeling through your chest like congestion, simple congestion in my chest. I just couldn’t produce a cough that would move the mucus up and out. I spent the whole day trying to cough, using my Doterra oils and drinking tea…
A storm was coming expecting snowfalls of 4-8 inches. I was excited to have at least one snow storm this winter even though it housebounds me. It is very hard to navigate outside with mounds of snow and ice. It is hard to walk if you actually have balance, which I do not. No walker in the world will assist me on snow and ice. My scooter also can prove difficult. It’s like being stuck in the mud in the…
I just woke up feeling good today. Not so much MS good but mentally good. I should have said happy because that’s what it was just happy feelings. I always wake up and pet the dogs before getting out of bed. It is my morning ritual and both dogs know it. Marshy, who sleeps under the covers, emerges when he hears my voice and comes nuzzling next to me and immediately gives me his tummy to scratch. Zoey, who is…
Well the 8 month journey to purchase my van was really worth the experience I had yesterday. To be able to press a button that opens a door, sends down a ramp that I can just wheel myself into is more liberating than I even expected. What makes this even better is I am finally able to use my main wheelchair which is a Hoveround MP5 . Using the travel scooter for many years was convenient. It broke down and…
It was official on Friday that Bob my Honda Civic was turned back in to the dealership. I name all my cars and my last one was simply Bob. My first black car since the one I got and totaled the day after I got my drivers license. My dad had a thing with black cars. He felt that they were for funerals and was very against it when I choose black for the color of my first car when…
I was feeling so good and then I sneezed and that was the beginning. Yesterday I wrote how I was feeling good and today I feel lousy because I’m getting sick. However in my defense I was talking about my MS yesterday. Ugh I should have known. I had a slight nasal drip. I should have been consuming my oregano but I was lazy. I was too late and the cold started. It is sitting in my chest and it…
Not much to say because I haven’t done much. However because I haven’t done much I could say that I feel pretty good. I’ve worked out every morning doing my little Cize videos from Beachbody https://www.beachbody.com/product/about_us/executive_team.do. After that I do A course miracles followed by a meditation and then I write my blog. My afternoons of been really quiet because my car has been by my mom and my stepdad getting ready to be taken into Honda and returned. I…
I got a call from the finance manager yesterday going over a couple of details and she said they were delivering the van this Wednesday, like the day after today. WHAT??? They haven’t received any payments from my grants and we aren’t planning on laying that money out. “They leave it on their accounts receivable side, it’s not a problem”. As wonderful as this is for me, other than the grant from Nova, they didn’t even ask me for me…
I fell on Friday and slammed my head into one of my hangings on my lower cabinets. I was stunned for a few seconds when it happened. Everyone said “where was your aid?” She was right in front of me but it is difficult to catch someone when they are falling and she wasn’t close enough anyway. Technically she isn’t even supposed to catch me as per her agency. That part I can’t understand but she does anyway. My head…
