I worked out yesterday for the first time in a month. I was trying to really give my shoulder the time to heal, as recommended by my orthopedic doctor and my physical therapist. I’ve been suffering for almost a year now with tendonitis. My last appointment with the doctor was in early June and I received another cortisone shot. The shots definitely help but can only be given once every 3-4 months and even then is not a great solution….
I finally picked up a book to read. Actually I picked up my kindle but the act is the same. I use to fly through books. I read all the time. Not as a child., more as an adult. It started when my daughter was small watching the same dumb shows or movies on TV, over and over and over and over again. I’d sit with her and read. When I took over my last position at my job, I…
Well found another thing that can no longer be on my list of things I can do, get drunk. Since the last time I actually consumed a lot of alcohol, other than wine, was over 2 years ago, I had no idea. I went out for dinner with my friend last night and had a very, very dirty martini, my new drink choice. No big deal if I had one, might not have been an issue if I stopped at…
In my four walls of multiple sclerosis, I’m home a lot and I watch a lot of TV. If I read it’s usually self help books but I use to read a lot. I loved serial books which is why I love TV, it’s serial. Forgetting books and reading for now, I wanted to list some of my favorite shows I watched old and new but available on Hulu, Netflixs, Amazon, HBO, SHO, Cinemax etc. these are not in preference…
I’m pretty sure I had a MS long before I was diagnosed . I had many strange things happen even as a child. When I was in the fifth grade, I got it rash. The rash was only on my hands and my feet, like gloves and socks. The day my mom took me to the dermatologist, I threw up in the bathroom. The dermatologist said I was having an allergic reaction to the virus. My body was literally allergic…
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…
I’m 15 workbook lessons from the end of my year doing A Course in Miracles. Not that it means anything really because on day 366, I’m just going to start again. Why? Because now my mind is trained differently and I’ll understand the lessons differently. I’ve learned some amazing things over the year, about myself, miracles, my relationship with God and forgiveness. I felt like telling the story of my most amazing miracle this year, which was my puppy Zoey….
On December 13, 2016, I wrote a blog about Alpha Lipoic Acid and multiple sclerosis. On July 3, 2017 this article was published in medical news today. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318225.php Ive been talking alpha lipoic acid now for 7 months. I still take 2 600mg pills a day. One in the morning and one at night. Alpha lipoic acid started about 3 months after starting high dose biotin. Another Vitamin shown that in high doses has stopped disease progression. Since both biotin…
Please allow me to introduce myself…I think a re-introduction is necessary. On the basic front I’m a 45 year old woman. I have an 18 year old daughter about to go to college. I am a single mom with two dogs that I love immensely. I have multiple sclerosis. I was diagnosed at the age of 26. That is me and for some people that is enough information. However, to me, those are numbers and statistics, doesn’t say anything about…
Last year at this time, my first blog post said under construction. I hope you enjoyed my weeks worth of revelations of the past year of blog posts. This week, I thought it was gonna be more of a downtime week, didn’t turn out that way. My aide started on Wednesday. Originally I asked for three days three hours a day. The recommendation of the nurse evaluator was for seven days. My case manager and I decided on three days…
