Good bye scale part 2

Good bye scale part 2

It’s been about 2 weeks since I put away the scale and I decided to take it out today and check. The 5lbs that i was up after my weight watchers monthly weigh in binge was gone but nothing else. However what I’ve found most interesting over the last few weeks is my cravings for junk have been almost non existent. I haven’t had any major days of eating uncontrollably. I certainly have let my body be my deciding voice…

Opinion for parents: microchip chip for kids

Opinion for parents: microchip chip for kids

My little sister and I had this philosophical discussion the other day about parenting decision. We both have dogs that have a Microchip in them in case God forbid they were lost. The chip has all the information of where he lives, my name and number or at least the vet information so I can get him back. Now why wouldn’t we give one to our children? You’d be able to always know where they are like a lo-jack feature…

Plenty of fish and I hooked a catfish

Plenty of fish and I hooked a catfish

Well I’d love this to be a loving post but it’s not…I met a guy on Plenty of fish. If you haven’t read my last post on this website I’ll quickly fill you in. This website concerns me. Anyone can be on it because it’s free. There really is NO tracking so plenty of fish has no real knowledge of who the people making a profile are they don’t need a credit card. They could be married they could be…

The day I found out I had multiple sclerosis

The day I found out I had multiple sclerosis

I don’t tell this story often but in light of what is happening in the world I thought I’d share. The day the diagnosis was made I had Multiple sclerosis , my now ex-husband picked me up at my parents house. We drove up Wilson Road and right to the left of us was an accident on Merrick Avenue. One car was pretty banged up but the second car looked like it was crushed like an old can of soda….

I got spooned during acupressure healing yesterday

I got spooned during acupressure healing yesterday

Every week I do acupressurehealing. I truly love this work. This isn’t with pins like acupuncture, it is done with the hands or other tools to open your energy channels. Think of it as reflexology for the entire body. Acupressure is about moving the stagnant energy in your body to open you up to feel energized. When I am done I feel like I just had a massage without feeling groggy. I also have to say since I’ve been going…

My teen is now legal to drive

My teen is now legal to drive

The day has come My teen is now legal to drive. Since my divorce I’ve basically been a single mom. My ex-husband lives in a state 9 hours away. Having multiple sclerosis and raising a child has been difficult to say the least. I’m sure any mom with or without MS can agree, the carpooling to outside activities, friends house, parties, and every other place you cart your child to and from is exhausting. Your a mom-o-cab without any pay…

I have multiple sclerosis and I’m ok.

I have multiple sclerosis and I’m ok.

I have had multiple sclerosis for 18 years. It was Valentines Day 1998 when my symptoms started. Three days later I couldn’t really walk. First I saw an orthopedist he took one look at me and sent me to a neurologist. When he told me that it was probably MS. I cried. I cried because I really didn’t know what the hell MS was or what that was going to mean to my life. So here I am 18+ years…

It’s hot out there

It’s hot out there

I’m hibernating for the summer. For most people with MS heat is very difficult.  It causes fatigue and muscle weakness, spasms and it basically exacerbates all your current symptoms. They make a cooling vest but let me explain what this thing is. First it’s a vest that comes up to your waist so if closed will nicely accentuate your hips not very flattering. Second it’s this light brown/tan color that is just plain ugly. Third the vest has something like…

Walking 2 dogs

Walking 2 dogs

Well first I should say it’s not me walking it’s them walking…I’m on my hooveround scooter. Now let me explain my 2 dogs first. Boomer is my 10 year old English bulldog who is 70 lbs big boy who is very docile and easy on the leash. The only time he will really pull is if he really really needs to go.  Otherwise he stops at every bush, tree, pole, post, or fire hydrant to check his p-mail.  Now my…
