September 6, 2021 - Mourning, The Anger Stage

    Out of 328.2 million people living in the US, I have to be part of the 400,000 with multiple sclerosis. This makes me so angry. I feel like I got ripped off. These past few months have been hell. Why me? Haven't I lived through enough hell? I don't want this for myself.  

    I have been looking for my purpose, trying to create a life for myself, and trying to do things I can look back at and be proud of. Now I feel like I need to stop and recalibrate and I honestly don't know how to do that right now with everything else I have to do to recover.

    I try to think of the positives in my life but at times I struggle trying to convince myself they can't be snuffed out by this huge dark black cloud that has moved in. It wants to rip it all away. I must have been one wicked evil being in my past life if this was karmically delt.

    It's hard to not wish for other ailments instead, less challenging ones. I stopped saying "it's better me than someone else" because that was ridiculous. It's better to NOT be me as selfish as that sounds. I can't help but wish it on murderers, rapists, and child molesters instead. I even sometimes wonder why not someone who ended their life early, someone who died drinking and driving, someone who died of a drug overdose?

    I blame our health care system, politics, religion, and people who have their heads so far up their ass that they can't concern themselves with anything that doesn't promote their beliefs or themselves in some way and it's disgusting. Modern medicine is a joke. Pharmaceutical companies only treat symptoms and don't cure disease so I am stuck waiting for a cure and taking 4 different medications that make me sicker than shit just so they can bathe in their greed while the sick get sicker and the world remains obvious.

    It doesn't matter though...

The Mobilization to the Transplant - 7/24/23 to 9/15/23

 7/24/2023 We are going to leave for San Diego soon and my anxiety is starting to surface. Today I feel impatient. I just want to get this going. I woke up last night around 2 AM with my arm, from elbow to wrist feeling like I had a rubber band wrapped around it. I don’t know why this happens, but it seems like it happens most when I am really tired, or I don’t eat well earlier that day. It might be an incentive to be better at rest and food intake, but I hate it. I wake up and I am unable to get back to sleep leaving me more exhausted until regardless of the symptoms I finally fall asleep. Honestly, I am hoping a lot of these things will improve or disappear completely with HSCT but I am not naive enough to rely on it. I will just be happy if the MS goes into remission. I would love to wake up without worrying that a new symptom will mean an MS relapse. I am exhausted of MS and I haven’t had it as long as so many others have. 7/26/2023 - Hilton, Gun shots??? Tomorrow is th...

September 30, 2021 - To The Bone

     I am so sick of posting new symptoms but I am about to post another one. Today it's cold in the house and I am borderline freezing but it feels so much better than the heat I have had to deal with I'm the summer so I am appreciating the cool air in the house.      My fingers are pretty cold and so are my feet but my feet are always ice cubes even with socks on. Then I notice the pain in my shoulder and there is a new pain in my arms. It's deep and feels like it's coming from my bones. I have never had a dull deep ache like this before. It hurts and is uncomfortable. I think it might be from the cold?      The pain in my shoulder I have had for a while now. I was told it could be caused by a muscle being pinched and inflamed. I am waiting to go to the doctor so I can talk to him about it. I think it was caused by the dystonia. A few times I had those attacks it felt like I was going to pull my arm out of the socket.      It...

September 1, 2021 - Tummy Trouble

     So this morning I was able to get out of bed and use the bathroom before the spasm hit. It was a nice change of pace. I am praying that this means things are getting better but if they are it means the muscle spasms were influenced by my menstrual cycle.      I am glad in the sense that this would mean that I wouldn't have them as often but I am disappointed that I will dread my period even more now. Only time will tell for sure.      I stopped taking the baclofen. I didn't take it at all yesterday which proves that it wasn't doing anything.       I have been working to improve enough to return to work. I miss being independent as well as not having to rest like an 80-year-old. In fact, I think an 80-year-old would have more stamina.       Having MS isn't fair. I pray the Tecfidera is working. If not, it would mean my MS is aggressive and that I would need to take some serious measures because I do...
