Hello everyone, I have miss u all!! I pray that u all are doing well.
I know that I have not written a journal since Oct. I have been very sick the past few months. The MS has "really" got me down. I have not even been to church. This means that I am very sick when I miss Church. I hate missing Church!! The ms has added another symptom. I am now having severe nerve spasms. It is horrible. It has been hard to walk or move. The meds have not helped. The Dr. added a new pain med., Tizanidine/Zanaflex. It does help some along w/Tremadol and all the other mess he has me on.hahahaha. Then there are the times that nothing helps at all. I am also still having trouble/w the Migraines; so, between the spasms and the headaches, I am fighting a "real" battle. If it has not been for the Lord who has not only been on my side, but everywhere I need Him to be. Quite a few times I have been quite emotional about being sick and not getting a break. U know that I really had to turn my face up to Heaven and get some uplift from the Lord and as always He was right here to life me up! I miss talking to all of u, my special friends. Even as an ordained Minister, we also get discouraged from time to time. The devil does not want us to carry or deliver the Word; therefore, he tries to stop us at any cost. But I remember that the Word lets me know that "greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world". When I remember that, I have to allow the greater One to take over. (smile).
I hope and pray that u all are doing well and even better than that. I hope and pray that everyone has a nice "turkey day", me, I was in the bed; but, my families saw to it that I had plenty of turkey, stuffing, macaroni/cheese, greens, cranberry sauce, stringbeans, sweetpotatoes/pie, cake, cornbread. Did I miss anything! hahahahaha!
I am still eating. I hope that your food was just as good and that u enjoyed your families. I try to get down here to the computer as much as possible; although, that has not been very much. Although I have the stairglide, most days I still do not feel like coming downstairs. I thank God that my husband has a microwave, toaster and refrigerator in my room. I love my bed room. It was 2bedrooms made into one master bedroom. He also bought me a 32" tv for our anniversary last yr.(2007). So, see why I love my bedroom sooo much.
Well, I am about to get back to bed. I hope to talk w/u all real soon. Please lift my name up to the Lord in prayer. I know that according to His Word, He is able to do exceeding, abundantly more than we can ask or think so if we touch and agree (two or more touching and agreeing, I am in the midst) He will move in a miraculous way not only for me, but, for u also. For u are in my prayers as well.
I love u all. U have been such a blessing to my life and I thank God for all of u!
Much love and God's blessings upon u!
Love, Chris

Sweetie did you ever try Baclofen or Klonopin? I got spasams that raised my waist up and down and they gave me Klonopin and that stopped it but Baclofen was for spasams in the legs that were painful. I only asked because I was where you are in the "90"s and it those meds helped especially the Baclofen because the pain also stopped. You have to watch that med though because there is a limit of what you can take and if you keep increasing it then you get used to it and it won't help. I got a 32" Panasonic in 2007 also and I love it. Have you hooked up a hdmi cable to it yet? I got Happy Feet and it is amazing with an HDMI cable and a dvd player that handles HDMI. It looks real and you can even see the feathers on the penguins blowing in the wind. Anyway I am so happy to see you back because you were gone a long time. I was wondering what happened to you but being a vet of MS myself I know about the problems with it. I only hope that somehow they can stop the spasams and you will be comfortable again.
