Multiple Sclerosis not bad, considering…

Multiple Sclerosis not bad, considering…

Look at my last few weeks…I was gearing up for the holidays, got this puppy, go away for Christmas, my beloved dog Boomer died, I spiral into a complete depression, cried everyday for a week plus but my multiple sclerosis symptoms are relatively the same. Are they better? No, but they aren’t worse. Multiple Sclerosis isn’t directly linked to stress, but it never failed for me when I’d have high periods of stress, about one month later, BANG MS ISSUES….

I have a cold, caught from my daughter

I have a cold, caught from my daughter

Can’t avoid these things can you? I knew I was going to get sick. I’ve been trying really hard taking precautions but I’m sitting here now sneezing and coughing. I don’t know why but every time you get sick and you have MS  it just seems like everything goes wrong. I’m not achy so to say, but my limbs feel very heavy. I feel fatigued even though I’ve done nothing. I didn’t even work out today. I try to stay…

Life goes on…

Life goes on…

Well the little puppy makes life coordination much more difficult. Now on school days if I want to workout alarm is set for 5:45. Daughter gets puppy from that time until 6:30. I get 45 minutes to myself to workout, brush teeth, get coffee and pee basically. Then I take puppy so she can finish getting ready for school. Yes I could put her back in her crate, I know that. The reason I don’t is because most of my…

High dose biotin in multiple sclerosis month 3

High dose biotin in multiple sclerosis month 3

http://sumo.ly/moZo I submitted a link to the biotin research/clinical study that showed that it may be helpful in people with progressive forms of  multiple sclerosis. I am writing from my own perspective from taking the medicine. I get a 100mg pill I take 3 times a day from Ace pharmacy https://highdosebiotin.net . I just completed my 3rd month. I had a neurologist check up in December and in my timed walking, I was 7 seconds faster than I ever walked in her…

Life goes back to normal

Life goes back to normal

I’ve never been so excited to set my alarm for 6 o’clock in the morning. These last couple of weeks have been a series of emotions that have worn me down. There of been good,there of been awful, but it just wore me out. I know most of you don’t know me, other than what you read, but I haven’t worked out in two weeks. I can’t tell you a time in over six years where I have it worked…

The multiple sclerosis attack that pushed me over

The multiple sclerosis attack that pushed me over

I was starting to “leak through” my current multiple sclerosis therapy back in 2014. I had been on basically Betaseron most of the time until I switched to Gilyenya in 2010. I was switched for the “leaking through” thought. It was holding me on the relapsing remitting sides mostly. I’d have maybe one or two per year on all the drugs. However I would worsen without a so-called attack. My current symptoms would worsen. Back in 2014 the decision was…

My Vitamin D too low for MS

My Vitamin D too low for MS

I’m in my doctors office right now. My regular doctor this time. I had to repeat blood work from 3 months ago. In that blood test my cholesterol was higher than normal and my Vitamin D was too low. Vitamin D in a patient with multiple sclerosis. This is probably the one link they are certain of with multiple sclerosis is Vitamin D and how that is important. If you don’t know to name a few cases… A study conducted…

Not the happiest Friday in the home

Not the happiest Friday in the home

I FINALLY had my shoulder checked out by an orthopedist yesterday. He did some maneuvering, X-rays and a visual exam. He told me “there are actually 2 problems going on.” Of course there are, because nothing is simple. “You have tendinitis in the shoulder for sure but your back also is showing arthritis”.  More of the fabulous news. I had junior arthritis as a kid, arthritis is my knees with cysts and now in the back. Ok great now what?…

Calm-my New Year Revelation

Calm-my New Year Revelation

I made made the smart decision in my sad state yesterday to see if my life coach was available, luckily she was. She reminded me of something Kris Carr says about life having seasons.  I am in a winter season right now. I’ve planted my seeds, but it’s still to cold for them to grow. I need to have faith that they are planted and that my warmer season will come and my seeds will bloom. I’m in the nestling…

Sad

Sad

yesterday was a bad multiple sclerosis day. I know those happen too. After my rant I posted, I fell. I’m very grateful I didn’t hurt myself but I’m more grateful that the glass vase that broke wasn’t one of the ones my mom painted. I did break a vase and knocked over a vase that held all the fresh lavender I had still from my sister’s wedding 7 years ago.  The little pieces of lavender ended up all over me…
