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…

I almost forgot this fact, well slightly forgot this fact. However my multiple sclerosis let me know it is still here in abundance. I got that crazy symptoms yesterday where I couldn’t regulate my body temperature. I’m sitting on my chair inches away from the AC and sweating. Sweat was literally dripping down my neck. Why? I wasn’t even moving. Normally this happens after I eat maybe something a little hot, this time it happened for no apparent reason. Guess…
I went to my friends house yesterday for an impromptu get together for the Fourth of July. It was extremely hot which I know is difficult for me with MS. However, I really wanted to go at least for a little while. I would’ve been fine in the heat if it wasn’t for my bladder. For some reason yesterday, I had to pee every hour. Not that that’s the worst thing in the world, except she has steps. I had…
Today I post a fairly simple question, has anybody used medical marijuana and had a positive effect on your bladder incontinence? I know in the past when I’ve used marijuana one of the better side effects for me, was it caused a hesitancy in my bladder. I can have this sometimes in the middle of the night when I can’t get my muscles to release right away to use the bathroom. The other time has happened was after using marijuana….
I hate being this person. I hate making the decisions and choices and saying No to things because “I don’t feel good”. I’m use to all this garbage but I still hate it. I got a long week coming up. And I just haven’t been feeling great. I canceled a lot of stuff over the last two weeks and I’m happy to say that at least I could. I’m lucky that I’m in the position and I have the option…
I have a label. Not really the label I would’ve liked, but it’s mine. For the one or two times I’ve been in the emergency room I have the bracelet labeling me a fall risk. On my nursing assessment I’m labeled a fall risk. My recent aid agency evaluation I have bright neon yellow stickers on all my papers. I’m a fall risk and I have the cuts and bruises to prove it. I’m always bruised somewhere, usually my knees…
Intermittent fasting as per my favorite site Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting is: Intermittent fasting (IF) is an umbrella term for various diets that cycle between a period of fasting and non-fasting during a defined period. Intermittent fasting can also be used with calorie restriction for weight loss. There are two main ways to do this: â–ª Whole-day fasting involves regular one-day fasts. The strictest form would be Alternate day fasting (ADF). This involves a 24-hour fast followed by a 24-hour non-fasting period.[4]…
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…
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…
