15 SepThe importance of MS Research and Awareness

I am writing this post because after watching Clay Walker on Fox News talk about MS and the lack of knowledge that the general public and even the MS community has about the importance of MS research. Most people think that there is a cure for MS and that it isn’t as bad as it seems. But the truth is there is absolutely no cure for MS and research is so so very important. MS is a very debilitating disease. Some medical professionals are talking about the importance of stem cell research for the purpose of curing MS. While other medical professionals are leaning towards a more organic and holistic method of curing the disease. I am hoping with everything that have that there is a cure in my lifetime. I was diagnosed in 2007. It was the scariest moment of my life when I was told. I thought of my goodness what am I going to do. Is there a cure how do I cure this? I did my research and I have amazing doctors and I am doing great. I am not cured but with the right combo of medication I am managing my disease really well. If you have MS or know someone that does please get involved in any way that you can as far as awareness goes. Lets fight for a cure. I have chosen to be an advocate for MS! What do you choose?

Until next time,

07 SepENERGY!!!!!!

I know that everyone has had heard this word ENERGY!! I know that I have my share of issues with energy. I am pretty sure that anyone with MS or any sort of medical condition can relate to me when I talk about having low energy levels or being super fatigued. Having energy or well balanced energy includes many different elements. Maintaining energy balance, or taking in as many food calories as you are expending on a daily basis can be challenging for anyone, especially when you suffer from a chronic progressive disease such as Multiple Sclerosis. When I was first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis I was really scared because I was worried about having enough energy to go about my day to day life and doing the things that I have always enjoyed such as playing with my little brother and nephew. I wondered if I would be able to work and enjoy the things that I once loved.

27 JulThe Answers

Hi everyone! Hope that everyone is having a great week. I am going to write about answers today. Everyone goes through their life saying that they wish they had the answers to certain problems or dilemmas in their lives. Some people want the answers on why they can’t find the one they are meant to be with for the rest of their life or why they didn’t  get that promotion. I am definitely guilty of doing those things. I sometimes do it on a daily basis but through everything I remember that GOD has my back and will always show me the way. I pray all the time for things in my life. Whether it be for the people around me or myself. I know that GOD may not always answer me right away but I know that he will answer me in his own time because he knows what is best for me always. GOD has higher expectations set for us then we have set for ourselves. Always remember that if you put your trust in GOD he will provide for you. He will take care of you. Until next time, Take Care and many blessings!

17 JulI’m Back!!!!

Hi everyone!! Sorry that I have been gone for so long. Hope everyone is doing well. Well a lot has been happening. My life has been going really well and I feel very blessed to have met the people that I have the past couple of months. I believe that everyone that you come in contact with in your life has a purpose. I have had the great blessing of meeting a wonderful family The Stokers. Kris and Melissa are absolutely wonderful people. They are so loving and caring. They have two kids Evan and Claire. They are truly wonderful children. I am very blessed to have met them and become close with the family.

Now as for my MS everything is going really well. I have had no problems although in June I had to do this test called an ambulatory EEG. That was a very interesting 3 days. Actually it was the most annoying 3 days ever. It was highly uncomfortable and it took me days to get the glue out of my hair. I got the test results back from that and everything was super and great. Nothing to currently report.

I thank everyone for taking the time to read my blog. I am definitely going to start blogging more and more. I will be more active with this website. Until next time, Take Care and God Bless.

13 JanPersonal Relationships and MS

Well I am pretty sure this is a topic that has come up if you are a patient suffering from Multiple Sclerosis. Personal relationships can definitely be affected when you have Multiple Sclerosis or any sort of disorder or health issue. I know that Multiple Sclerosis and the stresses and different things that go along with it have definitely put strain on personal relationships. When you are a single woman out there trying to find someone that you can spend forever with or you are just out there dating. Bringing up something as serious as Multiple Sclerosis can definitely put a cloud over the relationship in some cases. But there are some people that it doesn’t bother them wether you have it or any other disorder. Some people just love and like you for you. Which when that happens is like a breath of fresh air. If you have any comments on this subject please by all means send them to me. Would love to hear them.
