Category: My Life with MS

We were in Myrtle Beach Thursday thru Sunday. The first two days we argued constantly. It was always, “what do you want for breakfast, lunch, dinner?” The man is ruled by his stomach. If I didn’t feel like eating, we still had to go. I had never been in Myrtle Beach, I had previously driven […]

I love being at the ocean. I always have, until now. Back Story: Growing up my parents always took us on vacations, most of them involved beaches, whether it be lakes or most times the ocean. They loved the beach, especially my mother. We’ve been to Miami Beach, Bermuda, Long Island Beaches, Virginia Beach, and […]

Last August I received a call from Holiday Inn Vacation Club. I received that call because I’m a member of their IHG Rewards Program. I don’t know why I listened. We did this once in New Hampshire and were there for hours! Anyway I listened and the deal was: I could have a 4 day […]

Wouldn’t you know, since my post of June 5, “I’m Very Healthy I Just Have MS,” I haven’t been feeling good. Every few years a get a stiff neck, (what I call a “crick“). It stays for a week or so and the only way it goes away is by taking Valium. It started last […]

Today, 143.6. The last two months have been within a pound or so I’m taking it as I’m about the same. I want to lose weight badly, yet I don’t feel I’m there yet to start counting calories and weighing my food. I know that I am addicted to sugar and don’t know how to […]

This is my go to phrase when I’m asked how I’m feeling. It’s true. Throughout my life I am grateful that I’m able to say that I’ve always been extremely healthy. Not to say I’ve never been sick. I’ve had sinus infections, colds, upset stomach. I also have my few and far between “ice pick” […]

It has been a long time since writing. I’ve been in a mood. A lot has happened but I feel that these occurances are boring and repetitive. NY and back, Ocrevus infusion, same worries and problems; I bore myself. Anyhow…. This trip to NY was for my granddaughters 3rd birthday. I cannot even begin to […]

I knew it, 144.4 lbs. I feel very fat. Nothing is fitting me and I am getting depressed about it. No one to blame but me. Yesterday instead of dinner we went to Bruster’s, (local homemade ice cream place). We had a coupon, B1G1 free ice cream cone. I had a 2 scoop ice cream […]

Ever since I can remember I have always been a very vivid dreamer. They are like adventures with my full participation. In my childhood I had recurring dreams which frightened me. They were always about my mother and I remember them being like the children’s story of “Hansel and Gretel.” I used to go to […]

I like to make lists, of everything. There are lists of things to do, which keep me focused and make me more inclined to accomplish what is on those lists. For me to pick up the phone and call a friend, relative, anyone at all, I have to put it on my list of things […]
