Woke up this morning to the phone ringing. It was my mom who is really jealous of my sisters new garden that seems to grow vegetables something her garden refuses to do. After some more mindless chit chat, I hung up with mom and decided to mentally prepare to take my dogs out for their walk. If you read my prior post on walking them this can be a traumatic experience. However today the sun was shining down on me…
Sometimes we have every intention to do something. Either we made an appointment or plans with friends or volunteered your time somewhere. However this decision was made a week ago, three days ago or even yesterday. Then you wake up that day and your body doesn’t cooperate. You wake up a little more tired, sore, achy, weak. Yes with every disease listening to your body is extremely important. However how many people who don’t have any disease don’t listen? Stress…
You know those days where everything is just aggravating. One thing right after another. Then you finally get that free minute to sit down and relax, de-stress and bang dog throws up on the rug or your daughter calls asks for a favor and you just loose your sh&t. Ever have those overwhelming days that your just in a Bad mood? Of course you did we all do. We finally snap at what seems pretty petty but because everything during…
How many times have I said I can do it, no big deal to pay the price for it during or after. About a month ago we were with the family in the city going to have dinner. The restaurant was only 4 blocks away, no big deal, they weren’t avenues. We certainly didn’t need a cab. It wasn’t raining too badly. After block 1 that voice inside came up saying uh oh…this isn’t going to go well. The four…
Well I’d love this to be a loving post but it’s not…I met a guy on Plenty of fish. If you haven’t read my last post on this website I’ll quickly fill you in. This website concerns me. Anyone can be on it because it’s free. There really is NO tracking so plenty of fish has no real knowledge of who the people making a profile are they don’t need a credit card. They could be married they could be…
I don’t tell this story often but in light of what is happening in the world I thought I’d share. The day the diagnosis was made I had Multiple sclerosis , my now ex-husband picked me up at my parents house. We drove up Wilson Road and right to the left of us was an accident on Merrick Avenue. One car was pretty banged up but the second car looked like it was crushed like an old can of soda….
Just call me rainbow bright. When in doubt, change your Hair color . I like change in hair. If it’s a cut or color I’m always doing something. Hey I’m a single mom in the dating world, I like to mix it up. To me my hair is one of my best features so that’s why I play with it so much. Maybe for you its your eyes or sexy body. Married or single do something that makes you feel…
Every week I do acupressurehealing. I truly love this work. This isn’t with pins like acupuncture, it is done with the hands or other tools to open your energy channels. Think of it as reflexology for the entire body. Acupressure is about moving the stagnant energy in your body to open you up to feel energized. When I am done I feel like I just had a massage without feeling groggy. I also have to say since I’ve been going…
I have had multiple sclerosis for 18 years. It was Valentines Day 1998 when my symptoms started. Three days later I couldn’t really walk. First I saw an orthopedist he took one look at me and sent me to a neurologist. When he told me that it was probably MS. I cried. I cried because I really didn’t know what the hell MS was or what that was going to mean to my life. So here I am 18+ years…
I’m hibernating for the summer. For most people with MS heat is very difficult. It causes fatigue and muscle weakness, spasms and it basically exacerbates all your current symptoms. They make a cooling vest but let me explain what this thing is. First it’s a vest that comes up to your waist so if closed will nicely accentuate your hips not very flattering. Second it’s this light brown/tan color that is just plain ugly. Third the vest has something like…
