Category: My Life with MS

  • Overdoing It

    Yesterday the thermometer read 92 with a feels like temperature of 102. I was tired of being inside, (since Saturday) and since it was cloudy I decided I would go outside with 2 items on my agenda. One was to deadhead the Butterfly Bush and the other was to check the roses for Japanese beetles.…

  • MRI #2

    Now I’m heading into the machine with my Hannibal Lecter mask on. I was told it would be 30 minutes total, that with and without contrast. So because I have to count everything, to make sense, I start counting songs, I figured 6 or 7 songs would take about 30 minutes. My eyes are closed…

  • MRI #1

    If I didn’t have MS.…..….GET OVER IT! As I was waiting to be escorted in to get my MRI, (appointment was at 10:25, they asked to come in at 9:25, needless to say I was pissed because I had to sit there for an hour) Anyway, the thoughts started. I wanted to use my walker…

  • EVUSHELD for Coronavirus-Disease 2019

    At my six month check up with my neurologist, MS doctor, he stated that he wanted me to receive this medicine. It was explained to me that along with another COVID-19 booster, (In my case Moderna), I needed to do both. The reason being is that by receiving Ocrevus, which depletes my B levels, which…

  • Monthly Weigh In – July

    This month 138.8 lbs. exactly one pound less. I didn’t expect this number, if anything I thought I might have gained a few pounds. I take it with a grain of salt because its just a pound, it could be the time of day I weighed myself. I got out of the habit of doing…

  • “When I’m 64”

    “they say its your birthday, it’s my Birthday too, yeah……” Yup it is my 64th birthday. I’ll be at the garden volunteering. P asked me where I wanted to go for dinner, I don’t know. Unfortunately I still get excited by birthdays. I want my family and friends around, not likely this year and thats…

  • Being Content or Being Happy or Being Both

    I recently watched a segment on this subject, on where else but The Today Show. It struck a chord with me because I am not happy and haven’t been in a long time; BUT can I be content? Yes I can! I can get joy out of just being content. That is a positive. Being…

  • Motivation Back, (Somewhat)

    Today is Saturday and I feel motivated. When I am done with this post I am going to download a ton of pictures from my phone that I can use for more posts on this blog. I didn’t do it before I wrote because I know me: It is going to take such a long…

  • Staying Focused

    I’m sticking to this theme because I continue to have no focus. In my head I have tons of subjects I want to cover in this blog. Some of them I write down, never to visit again because it is written down, therefore I have an endless amount of time to cover it. Others are…

  • Doctor Visit – 6 Months

    Yesterday I had my six month check up with my MS doctor. Everything seems to be the same as far as symptoms. I had my 6 month dose of Ocrevus 2 weeks ago. He explained to me that being on Ocrevus you are depleting your B cells which help your immunity. So as far as…
