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 ...
Joy
Remember when I told you that MS can & will walk over you? Well, here I go again; feeling like I’ve been walk on, up one side & down the other. In other words, I have been sick for about a week in a half. I’m just starting to feel normal, whatever that is. Today is the first day that I could get out of bed by myself. Basically, according to my husband, it was like I was a paraplegic. However, I decided that I’m not going to sit around feeling sorry for myself. I’m not going to have a “whoa it’s me” moment. I might be slower, I might have to do it a little different but I’m not going to succumb to MS. I’m not going to be sad, depressed or none of that because I’m a child of THE MOST HIGH GOD! I’m not telling you that everything is peaches & cream. I’m still dragging my left leg along. What I’m telling you is, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him” Job 13:15. I have to. ...
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...
To bring you up where I am, I was diagnosed with MS in 2015. I must say that there is a link between MS & depression. Needless to say I was feeling some kind of way, but I’m so glad that I know Jesus. I had to remind myself that God promises to keep me in perfect peace if I keep my mind stayed on Him. “ You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.” Isaiah 26:3. With that being said, God brought to my mind several scriptures: Psalm 125:1 “ Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.” Isaiah 40:31 “ but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. He also said, “ But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord , whose confidence is in him.” Jeremiah 17:7. ...
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...
