I’m going to my neurologist today that the specialist just the regular neurologist. The same one I’ve gone to for 18 years. The same one that diagnosed me. The one I’m most comfortable with. Lately I’ve been noticing I’m having problems remembering words and peoples names even though I might have just talked about it. I find that things aren’t leaving my head quick or the words are there but just can’t reach them. It’s a little scary. I…
On Monday evening I had a little incident with my daughter. She was upset with her boyfriend and took it out on me. I can’t say I didn’t understand because she’d be the first one to stand up and say my mom does it all the time. She’s 100% correct I’ve yelled at her for no good reason because I was in a bad mood as my mom has done to me. During the afternoon before this incident I was…
MS fatigue one of the most difficult symptoms to explain and deal with. 80% of all MS patients deal with this at some point or another. Fatigue is way past a feeling of tired is to the point of absolute exhaustion. It’s the feeling that each limb is 100lbs heavier than it is. Just walking the few steps to a bathroom is daunting and overwhelming. It never fails you’ll be talking to a friend and you’ll say I’m tired…
Home – The Mystic Jesus I belong to a few MS websites that offer community support for people with MS or their families. I’m sure that most diseases have websites for this. That in itself can be a blog topic but we will let it go for today. One post has been in the back of my mind since I saw it. The caption read “MS ruined my life”. Now I’m the first to admit I’ve had bad days with…
Everyday we live it. We deal with the feelings, lack of feelings, the daily challenges and frustrations. However how we do we affect our loved ones around us? I can’t talk about husband because I don’t have one anymore. I can talk about my daughter who takes on a big chunk of the weight because she lives with me but I’m not. I want to talk about the parents. My parents divorced when I was 4. My mother remarried when…
http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/well-good/inspire-me/82602708/Fitness-bloggers-photos-prove-weight-really-is-just-a-number The scale number wasn’t as friendly today. When I look in the mirror I feel better though. I know that yesterday I had a high carbohydrate day which definitely can influence the scale. However again this was the main reason that I put away the scale. The scale is a number and we as females give that number way too much power. I am 8 weeks into my 12 week P90X program. I know from doing this program before…
Two chairs, two yoga blocks, one strap I don’t know what to do with and one dog toy dropped off by my marshy when I finally collapsed on the floor. First let me say Tony Horton YogaX kicked my ass. He has you do vinyasas between every move. Is this a normal thing? Oh and he’s so gracious that you can do a push up if you’d like. If I’d like? I could barley do a downward dog. Well I have…
This is one topic I really didn’t want to discuss but I know I can’t avoid. First let me explain I’ve handled Medicaid applications for my job for 13+ years before I stopped working. I know the NYS Medicaid long term care system well. I should back up an explain Medicaid. There are two types of long term Medicaid. One called chronic care and one called community care. The chronic care is for someone in a rehab or nursing facility…
