Achy while swimming continued

Achy while swimming continued

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…

Flu-like symptoms while I’m swimming

Flu-like symptoms while I’m swimming

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…

Oops I did it again

Oops I did it again

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…

A MS anger post

A MS anger post

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…

Running on empty

Running on empty

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…

It was a tough weekend

It was a tough weekend

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…

DoTerra Lifelong Vitality pack

DoTerra Lifelong Vitality pack

I’ve never been a believer in oils or vitamins but the results made me a believer. Every family should own the family essentials kit. It can replace most of your medicine cabinet. I can’t live without OnGuard and Oregano. I use it every time I feel like I’m getting sick or I’m near someone getting sick. With MS I take Ocrevus which wipes out my immune fighting B-cells. Other than a few days here and there I made it through…

A better MS day

A better MS day

Well some of the fatigue in my arms has lifted, thankfully. I slept for 11 hours last night. Considering most days I sleep about 8-9 hours, I’m not usually lacking in the sleep department. I guess I still needed it. I probably could have slept longer but the phone rang. I had the worst spasm in my leg yesterday. It took a few minutes for the muscles to relax so I could get my leg to lower back down. It…

Unfortunately I have MS

Unfortunately I have MS

If I had a dollar for every time someone said to me, “feel better soon” when they see me walking. People see that I’m young and assume I just hurt myself or had some sort of surgery. It’s hard for them to imagine that this is how it is everyday. Unfortunately, I have MS, there is no feeling better soon. I’ve felt good, at least relative to how good I could feel with my disease. I attribute it to my…

Two year renewal of Multiple Experiences

Two year renewal of Multiple Experiences

It’s official, today I renewed my blog’s domain name for another two years. This also renewed my iPage contract that my blog is hosted through. I made my commitment to my blog, to my readers and to myself. That means I’m going to be around every day for another two years. I have to admit, I’ve been a little lazy with this blog. I haven’t put much effort in lately. It wasn’t done on purpose, it was just a tough…
