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.

A Teaching Moment

The biggest mistake that people make or don’t realize is there is a mental aspect to MS.   After three years, I believe, that is where some of us fail.   With or without the disease, it can be complicated to grasp it all.   As people, we get set in our ways & want to do things a certain way.   Well, you better learn another way because MS sets out to ruin what you’re use to. In knowing about the mental aspect of MS, I have to constantly remind myself that God said, “ You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You” Isaiah 26:3. In my words, I fill my mind with God’s Word so that I have no room for whatever MS tries to throw at me. You have to define what mental means to you. MS affect us all differently.   For those of you that don’t know; mental can be stressed, depressed, overwhelmed, brain fog, etc. Whatever it is there is no pill for this. You have to find what works for you. I think some people crash ...

A WORD TO THE WISE!

Image
I believe that prayer is a vital part of a successful marriage, because I invite Christ into my marriage to shape each of us as He desires. It is not up to me to change and shape my husband, it is up to Christ, after all He knows so much better than I do. I believe I can bring good to my husband through prayer. Prayer for his integrity, his strengths, his weaknesses, his walk, his work – for every aspect of His life.

Help

Image
I read Isaiah 41:13 today and I was blessed by what God said to me & I would like to share it with you. “For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” With the heat, humidity outside today and the MS cold; these words take authority over the way I feel because I know that I have help and I do not have to fight this battle.   All I have to do is stand still because He says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10 BE BLESSED!

Don't Hesitate!

After receiving a small glimpse into the diversity of others diagnosed with MS; I realized one thing, MS does not discriminate.  The fury of MS can be unleashed on anybody; at anytime, no matter who you are or your walk in life. After analyzing it all, my first thought was WOW. I also thought about Mathew 5:45 where God says, “That you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.”

Purpose

I’m a woman with a purpose! I have a function in the body of Christ. I’m constantly pressing my way because I know that God will not let anything destroy my destiny. My balance is off. I might cannot stand too long or maybe walk with a limp, but God said His grace is sufficient.   But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” 2 nd Corinthians 12:9 This is how I get out of the funk that MS will and can put you in daily,   I get out by encouraging myself with the Word of God.   I was speaking with my husband today and after 2 ½ years, I admitted that I was scared.   Well, I don’t like using the word scared.   God did not create me to fear.   “ For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 nd Timothy 1:7 I’ll just say I’m concerned.   Concerne...

Limitless

Do you know your limitations?   I’m learning what my limitations are.   To try and prevent falling; when the body says sit down, that is what I do.   Sometime my mind & body don’t work together.   My mind say let’s do this or that and my body say DO NOT LISTEN! At that point my body does its own thing, separate from the mind. It doesn’t matter what the disease is because disease is disease.     It can be MS or something else. Whatever it maybe it all comes to do three things; steal, kill and destroy.   “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. ” John 10:10 The point of it all is, we should know our limitations which is part of knowing who we are. This has been a big part of trying to manage MS.   KNOWING WHAT MY LIMITATIONS ARE! I personally have no strength at all but because the Lord is my shepherd , I have everything I need . He lets me rest in the meadow...

It's Already Done!

This is a ministering moment.   A moment of encouragement.   I do a lot of that.   Whatever works for you; I suggest that you use it because MS can & will walk all over you.   I was sitting here mediating on the Word of God.   Not questioning Him, but wondering why me; MS & Tysabri invading my space.   I’m not questioning God because I know none of this could happen without going through God’s hands first.   If He allowed this to happen then He must have a plan cause I don’t have a clue. Outside of that, I could hear God say, you have to go through the fire but you won’t get burnt.   He said I won’t pull you out of the fire but I will get into it with you. Read your bible @ Daniel 3 about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego.   God said, Ruth, I’ll be with you always. Matthew 28:20 “ teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. I read a devotion...

Itchy & Scratchy

Image
MS Itch has me feeling like I'm in "The Itchy & Scratchy Show".          MS is Itchy & I'm Scratchy! I was reading this article about the MS itch. I don't know what site I was on. My point is, I would not call it an itch.  My experience is, it feels more like a burning sensation.  So uncomfortable that it feels as if someone is holding a match to my skin.  Yes, I scratch because it's bothersome and I want the feeling to go away.  I only get this feeling in my legs and feet. One day I felt so uncomfortable that I told myself I was going to cut my legs off & call myself shorty. 😊 I have to make lite of it all because I do not want to be moved by my circumstances.  I do have some relief; I use medicated cream.  The cream helps for about 6-8 hours or so. “The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.   Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good.” Psalm 34:7...
