I think I could just write the title and stop there. It was a big deal for me. I worked very hard to get into the size 8 that I was. More importantly I stayed in that size for eight years. I still have no answers to what’s going on and why my weight keeps coming on the way it is but it is but I can’t stop it. I’m doing all the right things and it’s just not coming…
When I first was diagnosed, maybe in the first 10 years, I have to admit any little thing I felt I used to think immediately it was the multiple sclerosis. It took me a while to kind of know how MS showed in my body, really what MS was, and how it was going to affect me. Now that it’s been 20 years, I think what I find amazing is when other doctors don’t have an answer so they blame…
Happy Saturday. So I had to change my subscription at weight watchers to online only. It made no sense, at this point, for me to keep going just to weigh in. My scale at home always match their scale to the point and I never stay for the meeting anyway. Since my three month subscription was up and I don’t want to quit, I figured it was a good switch and wasn’t as expensive. Since I started weight watchers on…
It’s usually my morning meditation that I decide what I want to blog about. This morning I fell back asleep during my meditation and I never got an idea of what I wanted to say. Right now I’m just staring at the water, hoping something will come to me. When your blog every day, I have to admit, some of my blogs become pointless. I have a feeling this is going to be one of them. I can tell you…

This is what the doctor firmly believes. I’ve had to slow down because the MS has disabled me and I physically can’t do much. Definitely not what I wanted to hear. However I can’t say that it’s definitely a false thought. He looked at my records over the past two years and I’ve gained a total of 6 pounds. Again you might think oh my God big deal you gained 6 pounds in two years, What’s the big deal? The…
I’ve had a blog about this in the past. This is from a course in miracles, and is and always will be my favorite lesson. It was always the hardest lesson for me learn because I am the queen of defense. When someone would say something to me, I always jump to my own defense. If I felt backed into a corner, I would claw my way out. Am I cured, absolutely not, but I’m a 1000 times better. The…
I blog every day. However I have to admit, some days I have no idea what to say. I just start writing and whatever comes out, comes out. I ended up putting a title on it at the very end. Today is one of those days. I can write about packing and how tired I am, but I think I’ve expressed that I’m about 8 blog posts already. I made an appointment with my neurologist on Thursday to discuss what…
Very frustrating. I’ve now done two separate blood work tests and no answers. The bloodwork my neurologist requested showed six different deficiencies in all my B cells which was expected. That’s what Ocrevus, my main medicine for MS, is suppose to do. The rest of the panel including my thyroid was fine. Two days later bloodwork was drawn from my OB/GYN. Here I was checking to see if I was possibly in pre-menopause. When she called me she informed me…
I’ve been on weight watchers now for over a month, I’ve lost a total of a pound. I’d love to explain what was going on, but I can’t. I’d lose one week and gain the next week. I’ve been tracking my food, staying away from sugar, and not cheating. There’s no answer to what’s happening. In all honesty, it’s one of the reasons I stopped being vegan. I really thought I was gaining weight because I was eating too many…
