Welcome to my Journey!!!

My life as I once knew it changed on May 14, 2010 when I was told I have MS, (Multiple Sclerosis)
I have seemed to have accepted it fairly quickly. I think that deep down I've known something just wasn't "right" with my health for quite some time. For a few years I have thought I had a hormonal imbalance.
Actually with the diagnosis came a kind of sense of relief.

And so, My Jouney begins.........

NO "why me's"

I haven't had those feelings at all yet & I pray I don't because I feel that would just hinder any attempts of being "pro-active" with MY disease.

My life is to precious to me and such a gift that I wish to cherish it as the gift it is.
"One Day at a Time" an absolute imperative way for me to live not only for my Sobriety but now for my MS.

Since yesterday I was down for much of the day due to the side effects I experience for about a day after my weekly injection of Avonex (inerferon), today I shall focus on my business.
Open up the windows and allow the fresh summer air flow & put on some favorite music. Today I think I'd like to listen to Leonard Cohen & Brian Ferry.

I'm feeling better today, however my body continues to have flu-like aches and seems to have a constant "buzzing" feeling flowing through. Especially noticable below my knees. I am trying also to get used to the fatigue. It's quite forceful!! Like dragging the backs of my hands on the floor. (visual) & 25lb cement blocks for shoes accompanied by a "noodle leg."
In addition to, "Why did I come in here?" & constant word fishing. I'm also in constant battle with my attention span!!
All of that aside.........my life is absolutely wonderful and I am so grateful today!

  1. Gina I really can relate to what your going through,as our conditions are similar in so many ways.The fatigue is really tough,as I am always so tired.My Grandmother used to say "you get what you get...and you don't throw a fit".Really we just have no choice but to accept this and overcome it or don't.Everybody gets curve balls in life....you and I almost got the identical pitch!It is an odd thing when your body fails to protect us.....I always thought I was invincible......who knows....maybe I still am!Thanks for sharing your thoughts....It is nice to know I am not alone....sorry though that I'm not.Take care Gina.
