I have to admit, I’m getting tired. Those walks to get from my car inside a building are taking longer and longer. Each step is getting harder and harder to make. I don’t know why, I saw my mom for like three seconds the other day and I said I think the next car has to be equipped for a wheelchair. Since this was such a fast visit she said does this have to be a discussion now. Who could…
I’ve had L’hermitte’s sign. It is defined by Wikipedia as: is an electrical sensation that runs down the back and into the limbs. The sensation can feel like it goes up or down the spine. It is uncomfortable. If you never experienced it, for me, I’d get these electric sensations down my leg. I’d get it without even bending my neck. At least it had a name. About four years ago, I started getting this symptom in my lower back…
I wasn’t sure each day what I would blog about. I’d let the thought come out during my meditation. Even then, I wasn’t sure what I was going to say. I have to say I surprised myself by the end. This is what I realized… The only person that thinks I’m less than is me. I am truly my harshest critic and I’m not very nice about it either. I’m actually mean to myself in my critiques. I’m always looking…

I’ve been eating right, exercising and going to the doctor as needed. A few weeks ago I saw my specialist for MS. I’ve been seeing a podiatrist for the fungus and the swelling blisters on my toes. Today I’m off to the vascular doctor to discuss the swelling in the extremities and see if I can get any answer to that. Then I have to make the decision if I want to go to the endocrinologist and go further to…
Dear body, I’ve never said thank you. I’ve never appreciated the amazing things you do without me even thinking about it. You breathe without me thinking about it. Each breath is taken without the thought process first. How amazing is that? Food digest and eliminates just by your own functions. Blood is circulated from my head all the way to my feet and back up to my heart and I don’t do anything about it. The functions of the human…
When I was in my college years, I interviewed for this summer job selling knock off perfumes. In the interview the question was asked on a scale from 1 to 10, how would you rate yourself? Without hesitation I said, an 8. The follow up question, of course, was why? My simple answer was because I’m nice. To this day that answer is still true. I’m just a nice person at the core. Of course I have my moments like…
One thing I can say for myself, is I never let MS dictate what I can or can’t do. When I was married I bought a treadmill. I’m sure you can guess, it wasn’t long before that treadmill became an extension of my closet. Clothes ended up being tossed over it more often than the treadmill was ever turned on. After my divorce I made the decision to buy an elliptical. In that decision I also made a deal, I…
I’m doing Zumba this morning. I decided to do one of the longer programs which means I’d be sitting soon. I now sit on my big comfy chair, at the edge, because first I could see the doggy pad and keep an eye on what Zoey is doing, and second because I find my comfy chair has a little bounce so it helps me bop. I got tired fast doing Zumba so I sat after the third song, but my…
