It's crazy! I find myself thinking about this blog or I guess more to the point feeling the need to rant the most when I feel like death. When I am actually doing pretty good, I forget. Tonight I feel fine. Thanks!
Foot still does want/need the heated blanket to avoid pain from being numb, but otherwise I am actually doing pretty good. I feel healthy!
So why am I posting? Mainly so years from now when I look back and read these posts, I can remind myself, I did have good days!
Please do me a favor- leave me a comment! Let me know what your thoughts are. What you struggle with. What made you stop and read my post- thank you by the way!!! Let me know what keeps you going!!! I'd love to hear from you!!! Have a great day!

Optic Nerve check-ups
Eye appointments are supposed to be a routine part of life. Well add MS and the word routine begins to mean nothing. I celebrated too early today at my appointment today. No changes in my prescription!! It was awesome! Then came the dilation part of my exam. Looking at my optic nerves, not only has my right one gotten worse but now my left one is showing signs of issues.
It was such a blow! I had my MRI on my birthday and I haven't gotten the results and now I don't feel so good about it. My medication seemingly has been working. So this just breaks my heart!!

Cold/ Flu
Wow! I seriously just lost a week of my life. While I had my cell phone and could have blogged about the horrible cold turn flu, having the strength to do anything was a stretch. Thankfully my side of the bed is right next to the bathroom. I actually would remind myself daily not to smell! I mean I seriously felt like a parent of a newborn. Thank goodness for an awesome husband that helped keep track of days/time/ and meals! Just crazy!
I am finally starting to feel sorta better. I can breathe and my chest doesn't feel like a brick on it.
Good to feel alive!

Sinuses from hell
I often wonder what issue is connected to what. I mean I am very aware of my body and know when my legs are weak. I also know when the heat is getting to me. Those are both things that I can point to and say without a doubt, it's MS related.
But my nose... It runs like crazy! Or it will get stuffed up and I am miserable. Either way, rarely a day goes by that sinus "something" isn't a factor in my life. I seriously don't remember a day when I didn't have to blow my nose multiple times. And yes, I take allergy medicine and about a billion other things to avoid the feeling. Trust me it is not a great life!
It is seriously crazy. And I can't help but wonder is my MS part of my sinus hell?

Stronger-2018
In 2004 my life came crashing down. The words "multiple sclerosis" back then still were such a huge long term unknown in the sense of treatment options and long term care. I saw myself with little to no options available for life...
For about 5 minutes!
It really never dawned on me that MS would ruin my life, just change it. I knew people that had MS and their lives had been... Forever changed. I guess it's easy to say I have always been determined not to be them.
Do I have a secret? Some super medical treatment or medical therapy- Heck no!
I have listened to my Doctors over the years and followed their advice (within reason). I have stuck to taking meds when needed as needed.
And sure, my life isn't roses. I mean its 12:40 am and I am up typing about my MS & reading old blogs to see how things have changed or when things have bothered me the most (to write about them)... But truth is... I am pretty darn lucky!
I'll take it! Leg cramp and sleepy issues and all!
