A little truthful tale

A little truthful tale

Hello again. I’m on a roll now. So it was official, lab confirmed, a UTI. I saw my doctor last week. This could have become a dangerous situation for me. I could have wound up once again in the hospital needing IV antibiotics. I could have even ended up septic if the bacteria got into my bloodstream. It is how elderly can die from a UTI. It is when UTI symptoms aren’t realized and the infection goes undetected. My body…

A UTI I Should Have Known

A UTI I Should Have Known

Good morning everyone. So, looks like my latest stretch of the last few weeks of suffering might be due to a UTI. Even though we are still waiting on the lab results, my doctor prescribed me antibiotics yesterday. However, when the culture does come back, we might have to change antibiotics based on the strain. I should’ve known. I can’t feel that area anymore yet my aide has said my urine has NOT been clear for a while now. I’ve…

Happy 25th Anniversary with Multiple Sclerosis

Happy 25th Anniversary with Multiple Sclerosis

It started 25 years ago today. The beginning of my major attack that brought about my diagnosis. I still remember the story all too clearly. Valentine’s Day weekend, 25 years ago, I was moving into the house my ex-husband and I bought. We spent a few months sleeping at my mother’s house while updates were being completed. We were ready to move in and be alone in our new home. It was supposed to be a romantic thing first weekend…

Phantom Feelings

Phantom Feelings

I always have a feeling that my legs are in a different position. I’m always in bed with my legs straight. I can’t move them on my own. The only way they would be in a different position is if someone put them there. Even then, chances are they wouldn’t stay that way. I mean the position with my knees up. Yet I always have the feeling that my legs are in this position, especially if I am under my…

I remember thinking this was such a cool thing. Granted I…

Multiple Sclerosis Sucks

Multiple Sclerosis Sucks

Hello to all. How are you feeling? Don’t we always hate that question? Multiple Sclerosis is a shitty disease. Have I said that recently? I remember I used to ask my neurologist every time I had an appointment, are you sure I have MS?” He always replied, “it wouldn’t be an appointment with you without you asking that question.” Unfortunately, the answer was always the same. Eventually I did stop asking him that question. I don’t know if it was…

Multiple Sclerosis is not an Easy Disease

Happy Friday. I feel like this week went super fast. I didn’t do much. I fell again this week. This marks the fourth fall in 3 weeks. I am having trouble with transferring from my bed to my wheelchair or wheelchair to my bed. Most other the falls have happened with aides that were new to me. They either didn’t have good enough English to understand what I was saying or they really couldn’t do what I needed. However, the…
