Are we disconnected as a society? I have had revelations on this very thing.
Insurance woes
I ask myself often, why do I have insurance if it doesn’t cover anything? I was sent to a new neuro (see my last post on that nightmare). I was told the doctor was in my network. Nope. Not even close. I got a bill. Not in my network. I got sent for a MRI…
Leaving in tears
I got a new neuro doc and had my first appointment with him today. My old neuro retired. I have been diagnosed by several other doctors (PCP, two neuro docs, and a rhuemy doc) with having MS. I have right sided weakness and host of other medical issues. I have lesions on my spine which…
Traveling woes
Since having to use an electronic mobility scooter, I haven’t flown anywhere. To be honest I have been scared to fly by myself having seizures, MS, and a brain injury. I get scared that I may end up hurt or sick or have a flare up while I am traveling and no one is qualified…
Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie
Since I have been diagnosed with MS, among other issues, I have been battling pain and inflammation every day. The pain, the pins and needles, the burning sensation, and sharp pain is enough to drive a person insane. Because I have medication sensitivities, I have to find other ways to deal with the inflammation and…
“But you don’t look disabled”
One of the most common things I hear is “but you don’t look disabled.” If you look at me from the outside, I don’t look disabled. However, what does disabled look like? I asked this question to a lot of my friends and all of them had similar answers. “Physically – like you can see…
My savings plan
I am on a strict budget. No longer being able to work, I have to adhere to the strictest budgeting possible in order to be able to go enjoy life – to the best I can that is. With that said, I implemented a savings plan that has helped me save money so I can…
Living with MS
Living with MS some days can be okay (by okay I mean its a way of life). My diagnosis was originally just fibromyalgia. I never realized there was such as overlap in symptoms. I have been told by one doctor that pain is not a symptom of MS, while I have been told by another…
Just one more thing
In the last few weeks I have been experiencing sudden pain my right forearm. I don’t even have to be moving it and the sharp pain comes out of no where. As it stands, I cannot grip with my right hand. I can’t open something as simple as a bottle cap on a bottle of…
Rain is a good thing
Since doing intense research, I had found switching to a whole plant based diet would be best for my health issues. I can’t shop like a normal person using a cart. So earlier this spring, with the help from my other half (by help I mean I supervised), I planted a few gardens. I am…
