Fatigue versus tired

Fatigue versus tired

I went into bed early as I’ve been doing every night recently. Last night I didn’t wake up until 3am. I slept straight from 9-3. That is huge for me!!! Then I slept until 8. I wish I could sleep every night like that but my bladder disagrees. My bladder doesn’t usually hold for more than three hours. However even with that great night sleep I still woke up tired. I would have stayed in bed but my bladder had…

Realistic view of multiple sclerosis disability

Realistic view of multiple sclerosis disability

It didn’t flood in the streets yesterday so no daytime pictures to show you. Although that bulldozer is still there I’m excited today because we are playing mahjong here in my building. I’m excited to play but exhausted so I’m grateful to be playing here. I feed the dogs and showered that’s it, I’m wiped out. This is why I straightened my hair because I’d never have the energy anymore to blow dry and style. I’m glad I’m still able…

Rough night

Rough night

My fatigue set in very early yesterday making my evening extremely difficult. You know that things are bad when you don’t have the energy to get to the bathroom so when the urge comes it is instant dread. I have one of those hospital bed potty chair right next to me and I wear pads but I’m still trying to hold on to the last bit of dignity while I still can. Eventually I’ll loose that too so I am…

Wheelchair walks up the mile

Wheelchair walks up the mile

I had a lovely day yesterday. My sister and brother in law visited with their foster girls who are so precious. I was so excited for them to meet my dogs and see my wide collection of humpties that I love dearly. My dogs were a hit, my humpties showed I was young at heart and they loved being here. Win, win, win ❤️❤️❤️. Was super happy about that. My sister and I took a walk up the nautical mile…

Beautiful despite weight

Beautiful despite weight

I am out of the house early today. Sitting at my primary doctor’s office for my annual physical. Nothing exciting but I did bring up my ever nagging issue of weight. As expected I was up weight from the previous year. No matter what I do, I am always up weight. It has been extremely frustrating. I worked so hard taking weight off and maintaining that loss for years. I still work so hard to exercise to the best of…

Yet another strange MS symptom

Yet another strange MS symptom

Ok another strange and embarrassing symptom of my MS occurs for no rhyme or reason and has to do with my breasts. Specially my nipples on those breast. I go through periods where they get and stay hard for days. Sometimes it could be to the point of painful. Erect nipples is not a comfortable thing for a long duration. I apologize to any men that are uncomfortable reading this and if it turns you on, all the more power…

I need the alone time physically and mentally

I need the alone time physically and mentally

It’s beautiful out a cool 63 degrees and I still have to have my AC on. The only downside to my condo is it’s angle. If the wind is blowing the wrong way this condo gets no air and can become hot with the morning sun. Today is that kind of day. There is no breeze out there. I hate that. I love having all the windows open and a cool breeze blowing and I’ve been robbed of it this…

Game day at the condo

Game day at the condo

Yesterday I had my first game day with the other retired people in my condo. For some reason it ended up only being 5 of us. We played a card game called Mille Bornes. It was fun you try to travel a 1000 miles but people can give you stop cards or accidents and other things that stop your ability to move until you pick the correct card to get out of the incident. I did not win but I…

A week after Rituxan infusion

A week after Rituxan infusion

Good morning happy Monday. I thought I’d give you the rundown of how I feel a week later after my Rituxan infusion. I’m happy to say the allergic reaction is healing and I’ve had no more blisters or open sores. Very bizarre. I’m still on the antibiotic and I have two more days left. I’m glad to say I am out of the chance of infection and I’m not gonna get cellulitis. All good news. I worked out yesterday for…
