I have not had the energy to be very active on the site and am coming to the conclusion that all the myriad of symptoms I seem to be dealing with on a regular basis point to MS..I have suspected this in the past especially since an MRI of my brain showed some weird spots that were noted as "abnormas" and I think I remember seeing the word "lesions" in the report..I really don't feel like going through a bunch of tests to be told what I already know..it takes so much energy that I don't have to get to these apps..and I won't take corticosteroids which I believe is like "Prednisone" for there are wayyy too many side effects...so I listen to my body and I pace myself..I am still singing in my band,,we're called "Cliche Blu"..we practice twice a week, and I've written the first 3 chapters of my book so after keeping up my apt and these two activities I watch movies, eat and sleep. And I don't feel a bit guilty about taking a nap every day..if that's what I have to do,,what my body requires then I will do it. I am sooo grateful NOT to be addicted to any pain killers anymore and learning how to do this without them..I feel like I came to finally accept illness in my life and work with it and not against it...well I think of you all and pray you are all ok..would love to see some posts here from you guys..check in ok?
HAPPY SPRINGTIME EVERYONE!

  Gene I know that must be difficult for you. I wish I could be there to visit you..I am feeling alot better now that I'm back on Prozac..this is a miracle medicine for me...I think since I broke my pelvis 13 years ago and all the surgeries and other traumas have changed the chemical balance in my brain as I have tried to go off the med and I end up bottoming out from too much physical pain so I will stay on it now...the pain levels have gone down as well..just hurts to push a grocery cart or do any sort of lifting...due to the fused pelvis..it just throws everything off..so I have to be very careful..hard sometimes..ya know?

A survivor of multi-traumas through a series of horrific events. I've had to go it alone through most of it with little family support. I'm a stronger more compassionate person, but it still hurts to feel alone and misunderstood. On a mission to heal myself and others for the rest of my life. My body, mind, and soul crave peace and harmony of spirit that sitting by a quiet bubbling brook of calming waters brings me. Join me?
