The weight I am

The weight I am

In the last year I’ve been battling a 8-10lb weight gain. The weight gain came on over a couple of months towards the end of last summer. This was when i had to stop working out because of shoulder tendinitis. At that point I joined weight watchers. I would spend each week tracking everything I ate losing weight one week to gain it back the next week. In the end I wasn’t losing anything and I was just getting frustrated….

Oops I did it again

Oops I did it again

I am so run down again and I don’t even know what I did. Of course I do, it was the stress of the parking space that I’ve dealt with for the last week https://multipleexperiences.org/2018/08/08/he-called-me-a-bad-name/. Ever since I stopped working, I have very little stress in my life. Aggravation, yes with my insurance company I deal with that all the time. For some reason every now and then I get into some sort of stress situation my body just can’t…

Housing help for those with Multiple Sclerosis

Housing help for those with Multiple Sclerosis

To recap my situation, I had asked my condo for a permanent parking spot close to the main door. This was because it was the only door I could enter that didn’t have steps, which I can’t do, and wasn’t too far for me to walk. It was granted. Then due to other condo residents requesting the same thing, they gave 5 other people spots. The non-disabled residents had an uproar. Now they voted to revoke ALL the reserved spots….

5-7 Benefits of owning a pet with multiple sclerosis

I came across this picture the other day Being an absolute dog lover, I had to look for his seven reasons why. Personally I can think of 1 million reasons to own animals but I was wondering what his were. I found his YouTube video that you could watch here https://youtu.be/1JBke_ukVpI. I’d say most of the things I knew but maybe one or two I just never thought of in the same way. I also came across this one https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com/2017/03/09/five-benefits-of-having-pets-when-you-have-multiple-sclerosis/….

A MS anger post

A MS anger post

If you follow my blog you know I’m normally positive. I don’t have the energy to be positive right now. I am so tired of being 46 and having to have somebody cut my food. If I make some sort of protein for dinner, like steak which I recently started eating, my aid has to cut it before she leaves. I could barely even cut chicken. I can barely use one of my stainless steel silverware and usually opt for…

Running on empty

Running on empty

It started out with my insurance changing to Medicare. Goodbye referrals!!! However, I also had many doctors appointments appointment scheduled because of it. Then I ended up with cellulitis at the beginning of July. July 9 actually was my first trip to the emergency room. I know…

Life without coffee, I don’t think so.

Life without coffee, I don’t think so.

That is not a life for me. It isn’t even the caffeine that I need, although I am addicted to that now, it is the taste. Ever since I was young I loved the taste of coffee. When I’d go anywhere with my mom if they had coffee, I’d ask for it. She’d give me a cup of milk with a splash of coffee. I’d always try to sneak more in my cup. For as much as I love the…

It was a tough weekend

It was a tough weekend

Where to begin. Saturday on my way to a lovely, relaxing nail appointment, when I opened my condo door I was greeted with five movers to my across the way neighbors condo. They were moving. That wasn’t the issue, it was my dog Marshy who saw them too and bolted. I was unprepared. He took off down the corridors of my condo. It’s not like I could run. I can barley walk. I’m trying to keep Zoey in the condo…

High dose biotin

High dose biotin

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…
