Since I’m also going through menopause at 43, I had to learn the difference between a hot flash and MS heat intolerance. Both of them are miserable, both make you feel like crud. Hot flashes are shorter and they make me sweat. Heat intolerance for me is ongoing and you can feel the anxiety creepContinue reading “Fact: The Worst Feeling of MS is when my body doesn’t regulate temperature well.”

As long as I progress
There have been days that I get in my feelings about all of the issues going on with my health. Some days I have no idea as to why I am surprised and then there are days that I am in my “woe is me”. I’ve been having strange symptoms for years. I went fromContinue reading “As long as I progress”
Day 5: I Made it to the Finish Line
Yesterday was the last day of my first set of infusions. I was so drained afterwards that I was in bed by 6:30pm!! I never realized how exhausting muscle fatigue is. I’m thankful I wasn’t in much pain today but my legs felt like I’m walking around with potato bags attached to each leg. MyContinue reading “Day 5: I Made it to the Finish Line”
Day 4: Almost to the Finish Line
Day 4 down! One more to go!! I showed up for my infusion but my PA came to see me prior to starting because I was having tightness in my chest that I couldn’t explain. She thought maybe I should skip it my infusion and me (the needle hater) freaked out because I knew theContinue reading “Day 4: Almost to the Finish Line”
Day 3: From 0 to 10 My Pain Scale was 6!!

It made me extremely tired. I had a little difficulty walking with my balance and my legs felt really heavyContinue reading “Day 3: From 0 to 10 My Pain Scale was 6!!”
Day 2: The Pain was excruciating
I woke up in extreme pain this morning. I managed to work a half day as planned and then head over to the clinic to have my dose for the day. I can’t say that I was too thrilled. I was use to steroids providing relief but this time I felt like I was literallyContinue reading “Day 2: The Pain was excruciating”
Day 1: When Life’s Path Changes Direction
If I could give an example of my life, I would say I was driving on smooth pavement and suddenly switched lanes to a rocky road. Yes, it will still get me to the same location I’m going, it’s just going to be a rough ride, hard on my tires and a little pressure onContinue reading “Day 1: When Life’s Path Changes Direction”
Family Date Day, sorta!
One thing that my boyfriend and I enjoy doing with the boys is going for long rides on a weekend day. Time with him is always my favorite and I remember when I could sit in the car pain free for a few hours as we drove through beautiful parts of Texas. Things have drasticallyContinue reading “Family Date Day, sorta!”
Battling the “Unseen” Disease
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything. Part of me wanted to really have a blog that talked about something super cool that could be useful to others. As I go through my most recent health challenges, I decided that I am going to blog about this journey. I can tell it’s already goingContinue reading “Battling the “Unseen” Disease”
