updates

hey beauties,

Today wasn't the best day but because of the wonderful people in my life I am able to continue to fight. This seems so crazy to me but I was so angry today and I wanted to punch something and I broke down when it became hard to ball up my fist :(.

However after taking avonex and taking a 3 hour nap I was able to gain more strength. but the weakness and pain in my limbs are still present. I will say though this week I was able to wear high heels :D!!!

The one frustration I have is that people assume that because I am on medication that I shouldn't feel any of the symptoms. I know I shouldn't get mad because they do not know but the symptoms are still here and all I can do is pray and smile whenever I can. However I appreciate their concern so I'm still blessed anyway :D

She got attititude!

hey beauties!

I know the mood changes is something not only common with MS, PMS (ironic?lol) but just being a woman!!!and at times I do just have one of those days. Unfortunately today was a day like that. It just seemed like almost every left and right something was "poppin" up. I am now relaxed and calm but smiling and breathing is key.

The heat is unfortunately still not my friend but I do enjoy the summer. I love hearing the crickets at night, the silence.. During the summer nights strolling on the boardwalk is so amazing, listening to the waves rock in every emotion. I get that feeling that God is present :) Loves it!

I am learning to continue to walk forward, push my shoulders back, keep my chin up listen to my body (do's and don'ts), stay hydrated, and smile even when it hurts :)

Check u later beauties!

MRI Update

Hey beauties!

So I had my second MRI back in june with Contrast. I am please to know that the lesions are not active and no "new" ones were present! woohoo Thank God, so happy about that :D. I also have done a month on avonex which has been pretty good, I still have aches and burning pains in my arms and legs but I'm managing. The neuro just gave me a prescription for the pain that should help me when I feel like that. Nothing else really going on..I will update any other news :D
