Last week it in New York it was in the single digits before you add it in the wind factor. At that point it was the negative digits. I went out to eat at a restaurant with my family. The restaurant had open windows on all sides and even though the heat was turned up, it just couldn’t compete with the cold outside. The restaurant was freezing. We were there with cousins we haven’t seen in a while so it…
I’ve lived in my condo officially two weeks today. I know I sound like a broken record and I apologize, but I just am so happy. I’m always blogging about all the bad things, living with multiple sclerosis and how tough it is, it’s just so nice to recognize the good things. Every day I say to my mom, I love this place thank you so much. I probably could say that every day and it would never be enough….
Beautiful sunny day and I wake up with a headache. You know when you just haven’t felt right? That’s how I’ve been lately. I know, I know I have multiple sclerosis. Yes, that’s very true and the chances of it being just something with my multiple sclerosis is extremely high. However I just haven’t felt right. I’m not really sure what’s up. My doctor called with my blood work and again, everything is fine. I definitely don’t have Cushing’s, diabetes…
I’m covered in ink. I have a new printer and I was finally putting it together yesterday. It has six different ink cartridges. As I was opening the ink cartridges, because my hands are all wacky I guess I was holding them wrong so the ink just kept getting on my hands. Thus, I’m covered with ink. I made a mistake with two of the cartridges and didn’t put them in right. Now I was left with the task of…
It’s been a strange couple of days. I’m finally able to start taking my high dose biotin again. If you read any of my other threads on biotin, and there are many, what mostly showed in the biotin is that my walking speed increased by seven seconds. This is according to my neurological test by my doctor. However I’ve stated, and I still stand by, that biotin helped do more. Besides noticing more weakness in my legs and hip area,…
This is what the doctor firmly believes. I’ve had to slow down because the MS has disabled me and I physically can’t do much. Definitely not what I wanted to hear. However I can’t say that it’s definitely a false thought. He looked at my records over the past two years and I’ve gained a total of 6 pounds. Again you might think oh my God big deal you gained 6 pounds in two years, What’s the big deal? The…
I haven’t taken a high dose biotin in about a 2 1/2 weeks. I have to admit there is a change. The only thing with MS, you just don’t know what the actual culprit is. I’ve been very weak in both my hip area and my thigh area. That’s causing a greater difficulty than normal getting up if I’m down on the floor. I’ve also had major fatigue again. Where I was sitting down and my eyes start closing whether…
It’s been four days that I have owned the condo. However it’s only been three days that my new scooter has been in my condo. I have to admit it, life is a lot easier in the scooter. I’m getting tired doing the walking. Every day is a struggle and it’s just getting harder and harder. My steps are getting slower and slower. I do the simplest task and I am just completely wiped out. Then I have to walk…
The first snow is supposed to fall today in New York. I always loved the snow. I never liked driving in it but I loved to look at it. I love when it’s quiet and everything is white. You look outside the street the world just seems transformed and peaceful. Everything appears so different. However after that snow, what a mess. There are huge piles of snow because the plows. There are always parking spots that are taken because of…
I always call it a scooter, but technically I guess it’s a wheelchair. I really wanted the hoverRounds MPV5. When I called it was over $4000 and of course my insurance wouldn’t cover it. My thinking was I was going to wait until I became Medicare eligible and get it then. Medicare pays for it. The problem with that outlook is first I’m not gonna be eligible for Medicare until, two years after the start of my disability which is…
