Words

I believe in the power of words. I was asked, if I say that I don’t have MS then why do I take the medicine?   Several answers to that question. I   don’t say it because:   (1)   I don’t want to be moved by my circumstances (2) I can’t ask God to bless me & then tell Him how (3) As I said, I believe in the power of words (4) I BELIEVE WHAT God says about me. Jesus said, Ruth, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”   Luke 17:19 then He said, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”   Psalm 139:14 Regarding the power of my words, God said ,” Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”   Proverbs 18:21.   In my own words, I BELIEVE WHAT I SAY & SAY WHAT I BELIEVE!   I don’t go by what I see. It’s already done. “And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are y...

Let me lean!

I was watching the news in reference to the Government shutdown. This lady was on there crying because with no pay, her and her son will be homeless. Point being, it is a lesson in it for us all. In one way or the other we will be if not already effected. Lesson being, God is my Provider; it's all just stuff. God wants all of us to lean & depend upon Him. "For kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." 1st Timothy 2:2-4

Why?

Early in the diagnosis of MS a friend told me that she was having a problem with button up shirts and I didn't understand so I just listened to her story.  My point is,  today, I GET IT!  It takes me 30 minutes to button my shirt; 45 or so just to zipen my coat. I can't be that person that says, I  can't do it.  I have to try!

Don't Go There

I read this interesting article on  Everyday Health that made a good point about germs & assistive devices.   I don’t leave home without my cane and probably have dropped it a thousand times.   I found the article interesting because I never gave it much thought.   It’s ironic that I didn’t because with MS & the immune system being suppressed, I like everything clean.   I laugh at myself because I say that I must have the cleanest hands in town with perpetually washing my hands. I don’t touch public door knobs. That’s to name a couple of things; with most things one might say I’m over the top. Here is the kicker, I worked in a clinic. Work was a constant battle with cleanliness.  God says, “I will save those who love me and will protect those who acknowledge me as Lord. When they call to me, I will answer them; when they are in trouble, I will be with them. I will rescue them and honor them. I will reward them with long life; I will save them...

What Is This?

I never seen anything like this before in my life. MS is the lonest, the most expensive, the most complicated and I can go on forever. I never experienced anything like this before.  Right now, I feel like I'm the only person in the world. I feel like nobody cares and if they do, well, they don't understand.  With MS, to not  understand or to not care is the same thing. Because with both, one can not relate to the MS patient.  Speaking personally, that is what anyone with a chronic disease need, someone to understand and have the ability to relate to the disease and all the obstacles that come with it. I think I'm overwhelmed.  Sometimes I think too much. However I saw a quote that said "Sun is alone too, but still shines." That made me smile and remember that God said, “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 Even though some don't understand or whatever t...

My Story

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...

Thank You

Quite naturally, I blog about myself.   In doing so, I failed to say thank you. Thank you to my best friend, lover, care taker, my husband. THANK YOU!   It gets no better than this. Through it all, we been through so much with MS; there were times when I was afraid and you stayed right by my side. You know me so well it seems that you know when I need a little of this or that. Life as I knew it has really changed since the diagnoses of MS and I want to be forever mindful of how you take care of me.   For that I say, THANK YOU!   With the outpouring of love, you have made the everyday challenges of MS a little easier. For that, THANK YOU! Most of all, I thank Jesus because without Him, I can do nothing.   I thank the Lord for touching your heart on my behalf.   Lord, I Thank You... A Christian husband loves God more then he loves his wife and loves his wife more than he loves himself. “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and...
