Since yesterday didn’t quite work out as I wanted I’m trying again today. Got my fur babies close. I haven’t worked out since Monday. Giving my body the break it needs. Hopefully I’ll be able to sleep more and the phone won’t ring all day like it did yesterday. This is all part of having MS and I understand that. It is a difficult part of the disease but I’m doing what I can. I’m a MS warrior like so…
I’m just having a tough couple of days. I am just so tired and my body isn’t recovering yet. I hate this feeling but I can’t even complain. I haven’t felt like this in a long, long time when my energy is drained for so many days in a row. It is a horrible feeling but I do have the means now to make things easier for me. Yesterday I did manage to do my Turbo Jam Beachbody workout. I…
My poor daughter is also plagued with migraines and she had a terrible one yesterday. She was supposed to cover someone at work but couldn’t make it in. Her migraines are made worse by her cochlear implants. If she catches them in time and takes aspirin sometimes they could be avoided. She couldn’t yesterday. When this happens the only thing she could do is take off her Cochlear’s and sleep. The cochlear implants cause additional pressure to her head making…
Today is mahjong. I’m very excited I didn’t play last week. I’ve been very focused in the gym working my core to help me with the forward and backward movements in the game. I can normally make it through 3 1/2 hours of play but I still have issues and fatigue by the end. It isn’t as bad as the beginning when I first started to play. It is amazing what will fatigue the body. If I do a workout…
Back to the gastroenterologist this morning. Unfortunately the medicine Linzess in the current dosage is not doing the job. I’m on the middle dose of 145mg. He wanted to start me at the highest dose and I got nervous. My bad!!!! It seemed to work at first, I was having a bowel movement daily but they became smaller and smaller until it was virtually nothing. Then it stopped altogether. Just stopped. I’m back to not going again. I haven’t for…
I can’t imagine my life without this van. It was time to be in a wheelchair and I didn’t have the means to accomplish this. It took a long time and help from so many people. I still can’t thank them enough. I have a life again and I can go places without everyone worrying; how will I get in, will I be able to get there, will it be too much etc. This van wasn’t only great for me,…
Old Mc Jamie had a twitch eieio with a twitch twitch here and a twitch twitch there here a twitch there a twitch everywhere a twitch twitch Old Mc Jamie has a twitch eieio. It made for a rough night of sleep. It was one of those nights where my medicine just didn’t help through the night. I twitch which is both annoying and uncomfortable and prevents me from falling asleep. I also have my big toe symptom where it…
My five minutes of fame. 😊. My little write up about how I’ve benefited from the MS Foundation https://msfocus.org/ came out this month. My writing was split on two pages so it was difficult to picture for you to read but I did my best. Pretty neat. First time my words and certainly my picture has ever been published. Btw I’m Jamie from Freeport just in case you missed that part 🙄
July is ending today. I made it through the month. Only one more long month of summer to go and I should be good. It’s just these two months that are difficult for me the other 10 I can get through. However I’m still jealous of my little sister in San Francisco with that perfect mid 70’s weather year round. That would be perfect. Anyway I can celebrate successfully navigating another month of July. This was an uneventful month which…
Was in bed until 11am today. Woke up with a nasty migraine. I took my migraine medicine first thing this morning and got right back under the covers. My aid was so helpful first giving me a massage and then taking care of the dogs for me. Although after they ate they came back to bed themselves. They love snuggling with mommy 😆. I woke up showered and actually did Zumba in my chair because I wanted to do something…
