Today, it's simple...
Everyone seems to focus on the negative things.
You know..those things that make your blood boil. Traffic, news cast,no gas at the pump again, that slow lady working the till at the grocery store...
Focus on the things that make you happy...after all...those are the things that will make you smile and help you live longer!
Things that make me happy...
I think of Grace, watching a movie with Mark, coming to work and loving what I do, pasta, The Middle...
What makes you happy?

Overwhelmed
Today and this past week I have been overwhelmed.
I have busy reading MS studies and different researches performed that are not commonly known yet or even acknowledged in Canada or the US.
I have always have done this and love to have knowledge on things that affect me.
Once you are diagnosed with a disease your wheels are always turning. You are always thinking of hypotheses of possible cures or causes. It's very strange but that's the way it is!
I have so much information to share with you that I really am not sure where to start!
Everything from brain / blood drainage, Chiropractic care proven to help MS patients, headaches, high iron deposits and on and on!
The easy one I think is what I'll post today!
I've mentioned before that I have lots of headaches and I tend to call them my Myelin headaches!
Shared Solutions is the company that distributes my injections as well as the goodies needed for self injections. Every month they send a pamphlet of new information on MS. This month it was titled "Do you have MS and suffer from headaches?" Oh.. me me me..(with my hand held up like a kid in a class room!)
I never realised this was connected. After all.. I only know me not other MS patients symptoms!
Turns out that many of us suffer from chronic headaches commonly known as migraines. The research shows that women are the ones most affected and it tends to be the women who have had symptoms at a very early age (prior to being diagnosed). Also it indicated that these women are the ones that have the most pain. I fit in this category very nicely!
It also indicated triggers that can cause the headaches. From memory I remember aged cheeses, possessed meats (hot dogs), weather changes and red wine. I had never paid attention to what might cause my headaches but red wine I knew.
I've tried red wines many times and one sip gives me an instant headache for hours or even days!
That's today's lesson.
Class dismissed!

Strange feeling
As if last week wasn't hard enough...
On Friday night we sat down to watch a movie. I took my injection and all was good...but then I felt really strange...
I was sitting down but couldn't focus. It was almost like my brain was talking o my body but it wasn't getting the message. I couldn't even swallow. This lasted for 20 minutes or so. I didn't like it one bit.
Our first weekend home with Grace after daycare isn't going too well. She has been in more of a bad mood then a good one since we picked her up on Friday. It makes it hard to enjoy the weekend and our time with her.
I've also been in pain again this weekend. Let's hope that gets better and that I'm ready to face the week ahead.
