One day feeling like I am going to explode, heart palpitations, not sleeping and feeling overwhelmed with every thought. The next day, singing with the radio and being silly at the…

Gilenya – Treatment Option for MS
This is about my experience taking Gilenya for around 8 years. When I turned 60 my doctor and I decided to test which medications I’d been taking, were actually helping me and which, I could possibly do without.

Dancing with MS and Diet Updates
After I wrote yesterday’s post, I realized that I was judging myself pretty harshly. I had just stated that I didn’t care how anyone danced, as long as they were having fun, I didn’t care what they looked like on the dance floor. Next thing I was saying how stupid I thought I looked and…

Day After Day – Diet Update, and a Recipe too
Today is Tuesday. My cousin C, #2, came Friday night with her husband and daughter, A. They also brought their dog, Franklin, and A’s dog, Rosy, (more on that later). We were originally going to get pizza, but our favorite place was away on vacation. I had small potatoes to use up and a ton…

They Say it’s your Birthday – Dieting with MS cont.
Yup, it’s my birthday, 63 years old. I made an appointment on August 6 to see if I would be a good candidate for using lasers on my face. It’s called laser resurfacing. If it will make a difference, I’m going for it. My skin is so damaged from years and years of sunbathing and…

Sleepless in Glen Allen
The other day I said I was going to see if I slept better with no TV in the bedroom. I did one night and therefore I was hoping it would continue. Alas, it did not. The one night was it. That night I was awake most of the night and when I came home…
