Category: My Life with MS

  • Being a Miserable Person

    We are back from NY and I have concluded that I am a miserable person. How have I come to this conclusion? Very easily, since most of the trip I felt put upon, slighted and downright miserable. After years of therapy, I do recognize that no one can make you feel this way, that it…

  • MS Doctor’s

    When I moved down here I had a very hard time trying to get an appointment with an MS doctor. See My Life with MS – Background. Now I’ve had the same doctor for 10 years. I see him every six months. A couple of weeks ago I received a letter canceling my appointment in…

  • Languishing

    Thank God! Finally what I’m feeling has been given a label, “languishing.” All this time I thought it was just plain old depression. I have had these feelings on and off throughout my whole life, so now because of Covid, there are a greater number of people feeling the same. I’m confused, is this different…

  • “Maggie’s Song”

    The other day my sister-in-law sent me the lyrics to this song by Chris Stapleton. After reading and listening to the song I was in tears. Not only did he describe my Maggie, but the picture of his dog, looked just like my Maggie and his Maggie is from Tennessee and so was mine. Chris’s…

  • Honestly Honest

    I haven’t written in a few days because I didn’t want to. Honestly, I didn’t know what I could say, or how to express what I’m feeling. I’m down again and I didn’t want to write the same old circumstances that bring me down yet again. I don’t want to complain, yet my head is…

  • Dieting with MS (trying)

    143.2 pounds. That is what I weighed in at 2 days ago. I came back from the Carolina’s, this time determined to lose weight. Please don’t get on me about my weight. I have lived most of my adult life weighing anywhere from 120 to 130 lbs. Knowing that if I didn’t have MS I…

  • Back from the Carolina’s

    It has been a little over a week since I’ve written. We went down to N. Carolina to find a builder for my dream home and then onto S. Carolina to visit with friends. I would like to write while I’m gone but I don’t want to bring my laptop. I could write passages in…

  • Goodbye, So Long, Farewell and Maggie too

    I am busy today trying to get my shit together to pack, do laundry, and clean up as I go along. That includes trying some pants on because I have gained so much weight. Thank God the two pairs I want to take fit, tight, but they fit. I also took a shower so right…

  • N. Carolina Here We Come!

    We have property in N. Carolina, Wilmington, to be exact. I alone had bought this property in 2008 in, at that time, a new development, Brunswick Forest. Here it is 13 years later and when we got married, I put the property in both of our names, no big deal. I have had a particular…

  • MS Symptoms – Let’s Talk

    I haven’t addressed what’s going on as far as my MS daily struggles in awhile. I guess that is good because I have constantly had it drilled in me that, “I am so much more than my MS,” and better yet, “MS does not define me.” I have actually learned something by writing in this…
