So, I didn't post it. Today is a bit better. Pain is pretty severe. I slept with two heating pads. My Neuro says that as long as the heat doesn't bring up my over all core temp it... Wed, 23 May 2007 15:29:29 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/45900/journal/164837 A bit better. Bitsy bit. But a bit, so hows about a smile ... even if a flat one. Teehee. Still extremely tired today. No seizure last night. Took twice my meds for seizures, and seems to have done the trick. Enough for now. Must fix the fast food Thai dinner plates. Blah ha, Wanda Fri, 11 May 2007 22:13:24 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/45900/journal/162529 I am so blanketly blank embarrassed! The most horrible think happened to me in my sleep last night. Apparently, I had another seizure, and this one must have been a woozy. I awoke in a puddle! How can that be?? How embarrassing is that?? I got up, picked up my down cover to take with me to the couch... Thu, 10 May 2007 13:41:48 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/45900/journal/161710 Ah, a new day dawned, and where did it find me?? I woke up realizing (for the first time being aware of it) that I had just had a seizure. Usually, when I have one I am dead asleep, and never EVER wake up. This time, it was almost 7:30 AM, highest time to be up and about, and I was almost awake anyw... Thu, 10 May 2007 01:12:41 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/45900/journal/156360 Sunday was a pretty good day. Pain was always present, however, I was able to endure it. If we were to gauge our MS pain according to the pain ratio that the doctors use, you know, they say "What is your pain level at, between 1 to 5?" I would have to say a 3. We sat under our umbrella outside ... Mon, 07 May 2007 06:08:40 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/45900/journal/154828 Saturday has been a really nice day. I walked 1.2 miles yesterday, and then went shopping today. Needless to say, I needed all meds by the time I made it home. Since I was driving, I couldn't take mine, as here in Nevada the DUI thing is really taken seriously. Just a bit of Vicoden, and you are und... Sun, 06 May 2007 02:01:16 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/45900/journal/152925 Pretty good day so far. I slept until 10:00 AM, but then I was up until 4:30 AM, so, all in all that is what ... 5.5 hours of sleep? Not too bad. Not great, either, but all in all I will take it. The last 2 days have been so much better for me. I am not really sure as to why, and I don’t q... Fri, 04 May 2007 19:26:54 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/45900/journal/149136 Todays Journal: It is in two parts. Please, do note the second part. 1) Pain: what’s new 2) Candida Yeast infection of the abdominal intestinal tract and the cure … and how it affects MS (Leaky Gut) 1) I sit here, trying to work. Trying to bring to life the muscles in the abdome... Wed, 02 May 2007 14:33:06 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/45900/journal/147934 Well, another day of pain, and trying to live through it. I still managed to walk .8 of a mile, half of it up hill. That was challenging. I have read that you have to continue to work out even though it might hurt, as long as you don't over do it. Huh. One has to wonder exactly what is considere... Tue, 01 May 2007 21:12:00 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/45900/journal/144556 Part 2 Then, in 2003, while working outside in some rather hot weather, I became extremely dizzy. I could hardly walk. The dizziness was like being on a boat, going up and down, not round and round. It made one completely nauseous. It simply would not go away. A visit to my MD did not yield anyth... Mon, 30 Apr 2007 00:29:20 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/45900/journal/144514 Hi, I am breaking down the beginning of this journal into 2 parts, because it is just too much to read in one sitting. Who needs that!! So, here goes: Part 1: Hi, I am going to borrow from my last line of this first journal entry: “Well, this is getting way too long for a very fir... Sun, 29 Apr 2007 23:53:56 +0100
