    • About Me

      I am Monica. I am not a yo yo anymore. I am trying to live in the precious present moment. I have had Good days and bad days for ages. The pain is out of control. I just started having my legs disappear I fell pretty hard and gave myself another concussion. So now we moved only been here since june 17, 2008 and we moved from a area where there were few doctors and very few specialists. But while I was living in the UP Of michigan and my hubby lost his job in January, in february I tried to end my life. My hubby found new work down in the Saginaw area. We had to relocate. We are getting ready to loose the house. We cant find a buyer. I am extremely depressed. Well I went to see a new pain management clinic when we moved down here. and I guess I mentioned several effects that I am having. it led her to order a brain mri. I was like "well if I have back pain cant u just fix my back?" But I had pain all over and the studdering and the brain farts, and fluttery eyes, horrible memory and so on. So I went back and the results were not favorble. So now I wait for the neuro to call me back. update. I have MS. Diagnosed on 9/16 So far have went through soulumedrol I am on tramadol, tylenol, Lyrica, Fentanyl patches for the pain. So far pain is getting more under control. alot of the pins and needles are going away. Now if I can get my emotions under control I can start to really heal.

I love youth/junior camp I am the craft director, I had to take the year off I dont know if I will ever go back. I wanted more babies. tried for 11 years. gave up. Cant do daycare cause I cant lift or be on my feet. I LOVE gardening. cant do that anymore either. *sigh* I would love to somday get into foster care. I would love to help some teens. But I am not healthy so I am sure it would not be a good thing.

      From betty1939 January 21

      YoyoyoMonica, I am so glad for you to finally get a neurologist that is listening to you. I know how relieved you must feel. I am undiagnosed too at this time, but I believe it all comes in God's timing. This is the beginning of a bright new future for you. Embrace it and give God all the glory!
