Continuing on with my original post I wrote the other day https://multipleexperiences.org/2018/08/15/flu-like-symptoms-while-im-swimming/. I had one comment from another person with MS. She explained that any time she over exerted herself she had flulike symptoms as well. Thank you Priscilla for your comment. She even said if she continued overexert herself she can actually come down with the flu. I asked her what drug she was on for MS, if any, and she was taking Rituxan. I am currently on Ocrevus…

I went to look at one yesterday. It was one of those things that you had to mentally prepare for because you need one and then there’s the sticker shock. Not even sure which part is worse. I must say when I took my scooter into the back of the vehicle with such ease and then was able to transfer to the driver seat, I knew it would just make such a difference in my life. As much as I…

I realized something recently, I can do a lot of things from my couch. I can buy groceries and furniture. I can make money and do things from my blog. I can even make pen pal friends from all over the world. Finding love, that might require more effort than me just sitting on the couch. I have to date again. The thought overwhelmed me. To go back out their explain my walker, my disability, my MS, I remembered why…

Wouldn’t be me if I didn’t have strange things occurring. I googled this and it is actually not uncommon but most people have it after they exercise, not during. I’ve been having it as I swim. This is part of the reason I’m barely making 20 laps when I was doing 25 before. I would say it starts as I am going into lap 11 or 12. I start to feel achy. I feel like when I was taking Betaseron…

I am so run down again and I don’t even know what I did. Of course I do, it was the stress of the parking space that I’ve dealt with for the last week https://multipleexperiences.org/2018/08/08/he-called-me-a-bad-name/. Ever since I stopped working, I have very little stress in my life. Aggravation, yes with my insurance company I deal with that all the time. For some reason every now and then I get into some sort of stress situation my body just can’t…

To recap my situation, I had asked my condo for a permanent parking spot close to the main door. This was because it was the only door I could enter that didn’t have steps, which I can’t do, and wasn’t too far for me to walk. It was granted. Then due to other condo residents requesting the same thing, they gave 5 other people spots. The non-disabled residents had an uproar. Now they voted to revoke ALL the reserved spots….

If you follow my blog you know I’m normally positive. I don’t have the energy to be positive right now. I am so tired of being 46 and having to have somebody cut my food. If I make some sort of protein for dinner, like steak which I recently started eating, my aid has to cut it before she leaves. I could barely even cut chicken. I can barely use one of my stainless steel silverware and usually opt for…

Man I am beat. I am so tired and I’ve really done nothing but what I’ve done is enough to exhaust me. July has certainly has been a very tough month for me. It started out with my insurance changing to Medicare. Goodbye referrals!!! However, I also had many doctors appointments appointment scheduled because of it. Then I ended up with cellulitis at the beginning of July. July 9 actually was my first trip to the emergency room. I know…

Where to begin. Saturday on my way to a lovely, relaxing nail appointment, when I opened my condo door I was greeted with five movers to my across the way neighbors condo. They were moving. That wasn’t the issue, it was my dog Marshy who saw them too and bolted. I was unprepared. He took off down the corridors of my condo. It’s not like I could run. I can barley walk. I’m trying to keep Zoey in the condo…

Since I was in the hospital, this is one of the pills that has changed. First it never made my weekly pill box, which was just a complete oversight. Second, the hospital doesn’t give that out. So I must say I haven’t correctly taken my high dose biotin for a week. It occurred to me, this morning, that this could be the reason I’m having difficulties regulating my body temperature since about Saturday. I finally started taking it again 3…
