If Its (Gluten) Free, Its For Me

Hey MSfit’s, Spoonies and Party People? How ya been? My life has been jampacked lately. It was just Halloween and now Christmas is in 3 weeks?! Does anybody else feel like 2021 just flew by, considering that we basically lost all of 2020, and now we’re just supposed to jump in to 2022 and conquerContinue reading “If Its (Gluten) Free, Its For Me”

The Girl at the Rock Show

Its always nerve-wracking to go to a new venue/restaurant/hotel etc. It can be hard to tell how they accommodate someone with walking aids. Yes, most businesses are required to be ADA accessible but it doesn’t mean that they are like that in person. We headed to check in where they were checking IDs and Proof of Vaccination cards. As we approached, it was clear there was a set of beautiful stairs looming in front of me.

Decision Time: COVID-19 Booster (Additional) Shot & MS

I just emailed my doctor about getting a booster shot since it just was authorized by the FDA last week for people with compromised immune systems. I live with MS and am immunocompromised because I take Kesimpta, a once a month shot that depletes the B cells in my immune system. B cells are whatContinue reading “Decision Time: COVID-19 Booster (Additional) Shot & MS”

It’s Been Non-Stop Since January

I feel like I have been going nonstop since January. Girl Scout cookies started. Then it went online only due to Covid protocols. Then they added a month longer to sell.

1 Year Later

A year ago today, the Hubs and I decided we wanted to be “overly cautious” in case this Covid thing was more serious than everyone thought. We decided to pull our kids out of school a year ago. The next day schools closed anyway. A week later the Hubs was laid off. We never ranContinue reading “1 Year Later”

Kesimpta (Originally Posted December 2020)

In July, my neurologist told me to look into a new injectable called Kesimpta. It would be approved in September by the FDA. He was excited, as he said it was very similar to the infusion of Ocrevus but in a shot once a month. I was like, “Ummm, ok sure, but I’m not goingContinue reading “Kesimpta (Originally Posted December 2020)”

It’s been too long (This post was lost in cyberspace. I originally posted it in November)

I don’t even know where to start this post. I haven’t been in the mindset to blog for a few different reasons. Pandemic Problems. People I love dying. School at home (Not to be confused with Home Schooling. I leave my kids learning up to the professionals.) I try to use this blog to shareContinue reading “It’s been too long (This post was lost in cyberspace. I originally posted it in November)”
