Brain Fog. What?


I experience this one every day.  I guess this is my new way of living.  I haven't done any research, all I know is how I feel.  Brain fog played a major factor in being unable to work.

SMALL TRIUMPHS & FRIENDS

Image
I have a childhood friend and with the good, bad & ugly in life she is always there for me. Point being, I had a short stay in the hospital & when I was released, I text her to thank her for her generosity. I received a response from her that really lifted my spirits. In respecting her privacy, I'll share some of what was said without using her name. Hey Ruth no need to thank me for anything. What I know  and dont take for granted is we are Friends & Sister till the end. Yes we get lost in time and in our everyday lives but I will ALWAYS be  there for you. Im only a phone call or text away. Dont ever forget that.

Sunshine

A Note To My Husband:  I never knew love until I met God & then He introduced me to an extraordinary man.   A man that loves God more then he loves me and love me more then he loves himself.  In the beginning, I was unsure of what I was looking at.   It was like walking around with blinders on trying to find a peek of sunshine. Through my relationship with God and the studying of His Word, I learned, that man, my husband, caretaker was showing nothing but patience and adoration over 32 years.   T o be a caretaker of any one with a chronic disease must be a huge task. To be the husband of a woman that is diagnosed with MS, the task got to be even larger.   Sometime I don’t show it, but every day, I’m thankful. Those are some big shoes to fill because I don’t know if I could do the things you do as a caretaker.  You have altered your entire life to care for me daily. The love that you show shines bright enough to allow ...

OK

Sometimes I just have to encourage myself.  MS is rough, frequently I've had some bad days, but I am going to be alright.  I might bend, but I wont break and I am ok, because I got faith. I know that there is a blessing after every trial. I know that God made me strong for a reason so when MS gets heavy I encourage myself. I am alright, I am ok, I am going to make it. Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise." ~  Jeremiah 17:14

My Story

Image
I don’t know if lack of appetite is an MS symptom but I experience it sporadically. I love to eat; that is what I do. Lately I have no desire to eat anything. Everything taste horrible. With not eating comes nausea. It’s like morning sickness when passed the child bearing age. I drink plenty of water and juice to avoid dehydration.   My husband tells me to try and force myself to eat; however if I do; everything will end up on the floor. If I don’t lose the food, but don’t eat it all, well, I don’t like left overs.   I don’t want to waste food so I don’t bother unless I know that I know.   Lately, I DON’T KNOW if I’ll eat it or not.   I might get it in my mouth but I can’t chew or swallow it. This is really becoming a problem for two reasons: I don’t like taking medication on an empty stomach and I’ll be the first to stand and say that when I don’t eat; I’m very moody. It’s kind of ironic because I can’t find any information on the subject.   This is ano...

COMFORT

 and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty     instead of ashes, the oil of joy     instead of mourning, and a garment of praise     instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness,     a planting of the Lord     for the display of his splendor. Isaiah 61:3

Talk To Me

Image
I probably said this once but I started this blog and every other social media site because I want to talk  about MS. I want to read about MS.  I want to learn every thing I can about MS. I talk about it because I don't want anybody feeling alone and misunderstood. I say that because  MS isn't commonly discussed in the African American community. If MS isn't discussed, who do you talk to? Family and friends don't understand. Neighbors don't get it either. Can't talk about it on the job. Who do you run to?  Who do you talk to?  “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.   Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”   1st Peter 5:6-7  Again I say; disease is disease!  To not have any knowledge about a particular subject makes one ignorant to the fact. IGNORANT-lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated.   WHO DO YOU TALK TO? ...
