Ok, fair warning, this is going to be a very long post, unlike the last. Not just because there are a ton of MS symptoms, but because this deserves a spotlight. A lot of our symptoms are invisible. I don’t think this subject should be. Moving on to the fun stuff – insert eyeroll emoji,… Continue reading All The MS Symptoms
We all know them – and most of us have at least one in our lives, if not more. The snooty relative that watches from a distance, with a sneer. They’re quick to comment when anything doesn’t go as you planned, but are silent when you succeed. The fake friend who’s quick to laugh when… Continue reading How to Deal With Toxic Family + Friends
Today, as I was searching through degree maps and generally planning out the next couple of semesters, a thought struck me that hasn’t in a while. Who am I? Not in that spooky existential way – that I don’t have time or brain capacity to discuss in ten lifetimes. Life has enough spooky moments as… Continue reading Because I Missed Friday Feelings
This Friday, as much as I hate to, I must quote Lil Wayne in saying, “Bitch, I’m feelin’ brand new.” I haven’t posted in a couple weeks, so here’s a short recap of why – I jumped right into the first half of my classes, experienced several more health stumbles, and my late fathers mom… Continue reading Feelin…Brand New
I know it’s almost never Friday when I post these, so this week, it’s just Feelings. I’m feeling a ton at once, so no specific focus this week either. This post is about as scattered as my mind lately. Somehow, another month has passed me by without posting on here – it’s not that I… Continue reading New Circumstances, New Feelings
I had a moment today, and I don’t have very many moments. I’ve gotten much better at this in the past couple of years, and I try to be as unbothered by irrelevant stuff as I possibly can. Because like they say, life really is too short, and those with MS know that with a… Continue reading I Had a Moment Today
Sorry for the ridiculous wait guys, life decided part 2 could wait! Part 2 of OMS-ish is going to cover steps 4-7 in the book. Number 4, the Mind-Body connection, was something I really didn’t contemplate before last year. I’d tried meditation before, but like most people, thought I couldn’t do it. Meditation isn’t a… Continue reading OMS-ish Pt. 2
I only have the first part of this series done this evening, but I’ll definitely have the second part up by the end of this week! I started following this protocol loosley right after my diagnosis in April 2018. Up to that point, I’d been eating a vegetarian diet, half decent, half junk food. I’d… Continue reading OMS-ish Pt. 1
Sunday’s are a big day in my household. Every Sunday is our little “prep” day. We usually prep some lunches, get the laundry finished up, try to tidy up the house, and I’ll redo my pill organizer for the week. Every other Sunday, however, is an injection day, which is a different type of “prep”… Continue reading Sundays
