MS Warriors are the BEST

Share

What an eventful month I’ve had. Thank you for sticking it out with me. I couldn’t have had any better warriors to fight along side me. Thank you for that. You are the best.

Since I’ve been home from the hospital I’ve had these crazy hallucinations that a nurse is at my house but when I try to get her attention she just goes away. I had my front door unlocked at the time and I just wanted her help to the toilet. I must have dozed off and poof, she was gone. My camera had no record of a visit. That happened two different times.

Then one time I thought my brother messaged me that he was going to stop by… I got out of bed and made my way to my recliner. Dozed off. No visit. What?

After that I decided I was going to keep my front door locked because anyone coming over would need to wake me up for a code. After I locked it, no more hallucinations.

I’m thinking it was due to all the meds I was on in the hospital and they were working their way out of my system. Thankfully I am now pain free from the surgery. I wish it was pain free from MS too. That would have made my day extra special.

But wouldn’t you know it, the best part of my day has been all in my head… kind of like MS. (grin)

One horrible thing has been my vision has become more blurred making it difficult to focus and even watch TV. Most of the time I just put on a show that I can follow without watching like a Marathon of ‘I Love Lucy.’ It gives me a smile just by listening.


Well, I’m your Vitavigavegivat Girl. Are you tired, run down, listless? Do you pop out at parties? Are you unpoopular? [pause] Well, are you? The answer to all your problems is in this little ol’ bottle, Vitameatavegamin. [Checks the bottle label] That’s it. Vitameatavegamin contains vitamins, meat, megetables and vinerals. So why don’t you join the thousands of happy peppy people and get a great big bottle of Vitaveatyvemeanyminimoe. I’ll tell you what you have to do. You have to take a whole tablespoonful after every meal. It’s so tasty too. It’s just like candy. [Takes a bit of time, if not too much, trying to sample the liquid.] Finally… [slurred speech] So everybody get a bottle of… [pointing at the bottle] This stuff.

    Penelope I just managed get emails again. Glad on mend! Was praying for you. Yes medications can cause hallucinations (as if we didn’t have enough)! I had happened once with steroids years ago so now get different type with Ocrevus treatments but doesn’t seem to give as much energy
