I’m writing a blog

I keep meaning to write. I have every intention. Then at the end of the day, I realize I didn’t write again. Normally I actually write my blog the day before but since WordPress had an update, I schedule the blog but it never posts. I finally got annoyed and stopped writing the day before and then stopped writing on the day. So here I am. I would love to say so much has happened since I last…

Multiple Sclerosis Sucks

Hello to all. How are you feeling? Don’t we always hate that question? Multiple Sclerosis is a shitty disease. Have I said that recently? I remember I used to ask my neurologist every time I had an appointment, are you sure I have MS?” He always replied, “it wouldn’t be an appointment with you without you asking that question.” Unfortunately, the answer was always the same. Eventually I did stop…

Multiple Sclerosis no rhyme or reason

Multiple Sclerosis no rhyme or reason

I say this all the time, you can’t plan for things because you just don’t know. What doesn’t cause problems one day may be a gigantic obstacle the next day. One day you feel fine the next you can’t get out of bed. People around me always say it’s the weather or may say maybe you’re getting sick, I just know it’s the nature of the disease.

A good example is when I was playing mahjong. I’ve had…

MS Focus on Research for November

MS Focus on Research for November

This month they had a few interesting articles on new MS research I thought I’d enclose.

A new study shows an overlooked source may be able to replace lost nerve insulation and provide a new way to treat multiple sclerosis. The discovery of mature myelin-producing cells’ capacity for repair opens new opportunities to slow or reverse the disease.…

You in danger girl

You in danger girl

Do you remember this epic scene from Ghost when Whoopi tells Demi Moore’s character Molly how she was in danger from specters from the great beyond? Better yet do you remember the original Friday the 13th movie, the very first one? It ends with one of the only surviving campers from Camp Crystal Lake somehow making it to safety in a row boat out in the middle of the lake after all of her friends…

Invisible illness progression vs better health progression (the battle)

Progression to a better life with multiple sclerosis is also progression with its side affects. As confusing as this statement is, is as confused as my body is times ten every minute of every day of my life. It's been three years since I had any feeling on the left side of my body. Now since the last few months of intense therapy and muscle strengthening feelings are coming to my left side. These feelings are not the kind anyone would want. They are many different feelings if intense pain which before these last few days caused so much that it had numbed my side from any feeling at all. These pain staking pressure points although disabling are also a possibility of pointing my therapist and I in the right direction to treat these points, hoping to correct muscles, tendons and bones from being misplaced torn or damaged any more then they all ready are. Pinpointing these areas can help many things from releasing the muscles and helping them from strangling there own blood flow and killing themselves off. Also these points can help guide my tendons on the right path away from strangling muscles and\or attaching to any bones causing my body to shift in un natural ways. There is no such thing as taking or getting a break once diagnosed with a chronic disease. There is no specific answer for any one. There is no way of knowing what will or will not help me. so although some consiquences seem worse to help then let go. I still will try and won't stop until I get a answer. Saying that, I have learned now no matter how painful these pains and new discovered pains are. Sometimes pain is actually helping me by pin pointing where to pay attention to and how to start healing.

Doctors, doctors and more doctors

Doctors, doctors and more doctors

I’ll start this with the doctor for my shoulder tendonitis. I went to see him yesterday. Still flying high from my amazing weekend at my spirit junkie master class, I think I even put the doctor in a good mood.  Being that my case is slightly different from other tendonitis cases, I can’t ever rest the arm because I use it with the walker, he was able to give me a Cortizone shot early. He was…

What a difference a day makes....

What a difference a day makes….

OK in my case maybe it’s two days. Yesterday I decided it’s time to put the sadness behind me I put my braces in my sneakers, I put my foot in the sneakers, I tied up my sneakers and I walked out the door. I drove with the braces which was a little difficult but maybe it will take more time or maybe I can’t drive with the braces haven’t decided that one yet. I got to my destination and I walked…
