Well I can certainly say today’s content is much lighter than yesterday’s. We are discussing marketing and the online presence. Hey, I got that. I write a blog. It’s all about website and blog related information. Right up my alley, no tears. Yet I walked out of the meeting pretty cranky. The room we used was so hot. Every time a window was opened, some one closed it minutes later. Here I am in a very light shirt overheating. Overheating…
What started out as a good day ended pretty horrible. Getting the last few items together for me trip, I ended up severely exhausted. I don’t even know if exhausted is the right word. I had to get something in my daughter’s closet for her and it required me to go to the floor. I really knew this was bad because I was so tired, I just didn’t realize how bad. I couldn’t get up. I didn’t even have the…
When was the last time you had one of those? I went into bed my usual time, around 9:30. I usually watch tv a little before closing my eyes. I feel asleep and slept until 3:30 before I had to use the bathroom. That is a record for me. A long stretch. I feel back asleep and woke up at 7:30 and I was awake and refreshed not groggy and still sleepy as I have been for many mornings now….
What fun yesterday was. My MS friends and I joined a beginners class to learn mahjong. I must admit I did have a lesson before with my mom and my girlfriends which was a lot of fun but it was difficult organizing everyone to get together again. I’ve been wanting to learn mahjong for a long time. I originally brought the idea up to my MS girls because we are around during the day and I thought it would be…
Not fatigued, yet, but I have physical therapy so give it time. The weather is so wacky and I think that’s why. One day it’s cold, rainy 65 degrees and I’m wearing a sweatshirt. The next day it’s 75 and humid and I’m in shorts. My hair is frizzy again in the middle of October. Amazingly I haven’t had migraines. An absolute blessing. I haven’t had one in at least a month (knock on wood). I’d think with these wacky…
I’ve been looking to get funding for a handicap vehicle for the past few months. It hasn’t gone as well as i was hoping. On top of this my own car is a lease which isn’t over until July 2019. My mother kind of yelled at me for getting ideas in my head prematurely. She isn’t wrong but what I needed to explain to my mom that it wasn’t so much the idea of the handicap vehicle it was the…
Sometimes it is overwhelming dealing with a chronic illness and navigating through daily life. I know I’ve lived there. I use to unleash it all on my mom. She has so much empathy and I adore her but she doesn’t have multiple sclerosis and she didn’t, she couldn’t, fully understand. I was sad for a long time until I changed my thinking and changed my perception on life. I have a life coach that helps me stay on track and…
Fatigue!!!! That’s the only word I could use. I’ve been exhausted but it’s been in my muscles too. It’s been hard just getting around my condo because of the muscle fatigue. I almost went into my scooter last night. Every step is difficult to take not only in my legs but in my arms holding me up with the walker. I don’t remember feeling this way last time but last time they messed up and split my dose. This was…
I had my physical yesterday and brought up my favorite topic, weight. Once again I put on a couple of pounds. This has been a very frustrating year for me when it came to weight. My doctor finally made some sense as opposed to just saying it’s your multiple sclerosis. He explained why. Yes, I do swim which is great, but I also sit around quite a bit. As my symptoms have gotten worse, my muscles have atrophied to a…
Wouldn’t be me if I wasn’t extreme. Vegan to Keto, that’s extreme. Why would I even think about this? A movie called the Magic Pill on Netflix. Ironically, it was watching Forks over Knives on Netflix that I became Vegan. My diet isn’t working anymore and hasn’t been working. I’ve been maintaining a ten pound unexplained weight gain following a plant-based diet and tracking on weight watchers. This past week I put on an additional 4 pounds. I don’t eat…
