I’ve never been so excited to set my alarm for 6 o’clock in the morning. These last couple of weeks have been a series of emotions that have worn me down. There of been good,there of been awful, but it just wore me out. I know most of you don’t know me, other than what you read, but I haven’t worked out in two weeks. I can’t tell you a time in over six years where I have it worked…
Dear Universe, A lot happened in 2016. I became disabled in 2016. I stopped working and started the process of both disability and Medicaid. I obtained a 3rd party trust to shield my income. I cashed in my Ira which wasn’t much but gave me a little something. I was approved for disability, Medicaid, the 3rd party trust, and my long term care policy. I was set up financially basically as I was when I was working. I leased a…
I was starting to “leak through” my current multiple sclerosis therapy back in 2014. I had been on basically Betaseron most of the time until I switched to Gilyenya in 2010. I was switched for the “leaking through” thought. It was holding me on the relapsing remitting sides mostly. I’d have maybe one or two per year on all the drugs. However I would worsen without a so-called attack. My current symptoms would worsen. Back in 2014 the decision was…
I haven’t slept well in 2 nights and we all know how great that goes with multiple sclerosis. I know why but don’t know if I’m ready to say it yet. I bit off more than I can chew at the present moment. Something I always wanted to do but it required a lot more than I realized. However it’s too late now I made a commitment. I don’t want to hear the I told you so from the people…
I’m in my doctors office right now. My regular doctor this time. I had to repeat blood work from 3 months ago. In that blood test my cholesterol was higher than normal and my Vitamin D was too low. Vitamin D in a patient with multiple sclerosis. This is probably the one link they are certain of with multiple sclerosis is Vitamin D and how that is important. If you don’t know to name a few cases… A study conducted…
First I’m happy to report I lost a pound. Second I still have no craving for meat. I’ve also been doing pretty good with my coffee. I haven’t really been missing my half and half with my coconut milk/almond milk blend. I use a brown sugar/truvia sugar blend in my coffee for a sweetener and it all flows nicely. I even throw in a cap of mirolax sometimes. I learned that Veestro who has those prepared plant based diet foods http://Www.veestro.com does…
I FINALLY had my shoulder checked out by an orthopedist yesterday. He did some maneuvering, X-rays and a visual exam. He told me “there are actually 2 problems going on.” Of course there are, because nothing is simple. “You have tendinitis in the shoulder for sure but your back also is showing arthritis”. More of the fabulous news. I had junior arthritis as a kid, arthritis is my knees with cysts and now in the back. Ok great now what?…
I made made the smart decision in my sad state yesterday to see if my life coach was available, luckily she was. She reminded me of something Kris Carr says about life having seasons. I am in a winter season right now. I’ve planted my seeds, but it’s still to cold for them to grow. I need to have faith that they are planted and that my warmer season will come and my seeds will bloom. I’m in the nestling…
yesterday was a bad multiple sclerosis day. I know those happen too. After my rant I posted, I fell. I’m very grateful I didn’t hurt myself but I’m more grateful that the glass vase that broke wasn’t one of the ones my mom painted. I did break a vase and knocked over a vase that held all the fresh lavender I had still from my sister’s wedding 7 years ago. The little pieces of lavender ended up all over me…
i wanted to go to the specialty grocery store, pick up some plant-based items I couldn’t find at the local store. It’s not a very large store, easy parking, I thought I’d be ok. I had 2 small bags with light stuff. I made it to the car, just had to get in my house. Car to house what 20 steps. 6 steps to first landing until I can regret the chair lift. Yet another task that completely exhausted me…
