I need to thank Jen from Tripping through Treacle’s http://trippingthroughtreacle.com/ Who reminded me of this. If you haven’t followed my blog, for almost a year I became vegan. I did it for health reasons. I wanted to see if it made any difference in my multiple sclerosis. The real reason I ended up stopping is because for some reason I started putting on weight. I ended up joining weight watchers and at the time being vegan was very difficult to…
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…
Good morning and happy Wednesday, middle of the week, hump day. I didn’t have my view yesterday. It was so much fog out here I couldn’t even see the water. Today I can see the water so I am automatically happy. Sitting down with both of my dogs on my lap and feeling good. I started taking the DoTerra vitality vitamins and supplements over a week ago. My review so far is it’s a lot of pills. However, for me,…
I went in the pool. Finally!!! I was the only one in there. I can’t swim anymore. My legs can’t kick. My legs actually can’t even get high enough in the water and I usually end up going under. The truth is I probably could do more but I was trying not to get my hair wet. Let’s be real, with multiple sclerosis there’s only so much energy I have. To go in the pool for the first time in…
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…
