Why continue to exercise with multiple sclerosis

Why continue to exercise with multiple sclerosis

Comments 2 comments

“Exercise is essential not just for overall well-being, but also to help manage symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS). In fact, exercise might even slow progression of the disease, according to a 2012 review published in Therapeutic Advances in Neurological Disorders.” This was according to everyday health. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society says basically the same thing and adds, “An exercise program needs to fit the capabilities and limitations of the individual. It may need to be adjusted as changes occur in…

So I had to take my mom and my stepdad to the airport yesterday. We were driving my black Honda Civic two door. His name is Bob. I name all my cars.  Everybody was trying to tell me you should not get a two door car, you have too many devices that need to go in the car for your MS. They were all right. I really should not of gotten a two door car. However he’s so beautiful and sexy,…

Good morning and happy Friday to everyone.  Most of the time I dictate my blog through the voice on my iPad. Then I go back and correct any mistakes, which are usually a lot and sometimes hilarious. What obviously never comes across is my voice inflections when I’m speaking, probably why my humor doesn’t come across. I guess you can’t hear sarcasm in words that you read. Oh well, back to my topic, which this morning is, that I started…

I’m sitting here with six exercises left of my P90X routine. Fuming actually that I haven’t been able to continue to finish the last six exercises.  This is certainly a first!!!!! I really just want to say go to hell MS.  This is such a sucky disease of times. It’s not bad enough that it takes a lot to muster the energy to exercise for any given person but an MS person its more of a push. I’m sitting here…

Me and multiple sclerosis

Comments 7 comments

We’ve had a turbulent relationship over the last 19 years to say it mildly. There have been many one-sided fights. I’ve told my story before bug sometimes it’s worth repeating. My first MS attack (exacerbation) was sever. The entire left side of my body went numb and atrophied. I couldn’t walk, hold anything or feel on the left side. It came on fast starting in my foot on a Saturday and by the time I saw the doctor that Friday…

The evil art of future tripping

The evil art of future tripping

Comments 6 comments

I was future tripping yesterday. A very evil thing to do. Future tripping, in my world, is when you worry about what’s going to happen in the future when you really have no idea. So you get your all worked up over a possibility but not an actuality.  I future trip over the same three things in my life; my multiple sclerosis,where am I going to live  or my finances.  I work hard at NOT doing it but one of…

Getting an aid getting help…accept, adjust, adapt

For all the bad moments, there are always good moments. I would love to say that I’m feeling a lot better, that whatever is brewing with my MS is gone, but I unfortunately can’t.  However as always, I’m back to my normal, my usual somewhat positive self. I think that might have to do with the fact that my little sister is in from California and I’m seeing her today.  The sun is out, although that wind is howling, but…

Before I even start today’s blog, I need to give hug of condolences to my little sister, who put her dog Blueberry down yesterday. Blueberry now joins my Boomer over the rainbow bridge to wait for us with a few other past dogs she had. Lets once again discuss life with multiple sclerosis and its challenges. My daughter had to be in the city today to take a math placement exam for John Jay College. Since we had to be…

I’m all packed up and ready to go. My daughter Mikayla and I are going to Florida to visit my dad and stepmom.  I’m already exhausted and I haven’t even gone to the airport yet. My final morning items had to be packed all while watching the puppy. Zoey wasn’t being very cooperative to say the least. I just picked up the dog sitter now. I’m very lucky I have her. She loves my dogs almost as much as I…

When your MS progresses your assistive devices progress too

When your MS progresses your assistive devices progress too

As multiple sclerosis progresses, so does your assistive needs. The first thing I got was the handicap parking permit. I’ve had this for many, many years. I got this early in my disease when I use to work in NYC and had to take a train. The parking at the station was insane and even back then walking that long distance in a rush to catch a train was very difficult. I was never able to run or skip again…
