Gorgeous!
Have a sleep filled night with no pain or MS symptoms to plague you.
Thank you for the very warm wishes. unfortunately today isn't one of those days. 😢 tomorrow has got to be better!!!!
So sorry, I will have to wait until I try to go to sleep.
Hoping for the best for both of us Allen5280 .
Morllyn I will be doing the same. Hoping and awaiting being able to sleep. Last night was an 💉 night and the side effects kept me from sleeping much. Makes for a difficult day. Hopefully it will be better tonight, for us both.
Hi Allen, it's beautiful. Wow, I love butterflies, 🦋 What a perfect shot. They are heavenly creatures so even in the midst of your pain and discomfort, feel blessed that you have had such a magnificent visitor, it's lovely, thanks for sharing, made my morning. Hope you are able to get some sleep, blessings Jimeka
That's beautiful! I haven't seen a swallowtail in years.
Most definitely an amazing and quite beautiful example of God's creation.
At the same time, however, I must respectfully answer your call of "wildlife in my RV" with a bit of a downward glance.
Rather than hijack your post, I'll reserve for yet another day the saga of a 30-lb racoon and my attic. . . . 👀
That, my dear friend, is "wildlife" on visitation. . .
Well... how bout the bats in my belfry? Ha ha ha... yes a racoon, skunk or snake would defiantly be considered wild life. This past fall my rv was infested with hundreds of ladybugs. I have decided as long as it goes along the lines of unusual I am keeping it categorized as wildlife! 🐞 😂 I am happy with butterflies and ladybugs over my last home. After I purchased it it became evident it was in fact infested with scorpions! Had been sitting empty for a couple years and they decided they liked it. It took a long long time to rid the house of those little pests!
There is a lot to be said about living in the uk! 🦋 🌈 Now you all try and get some sleep, blessings Jimeka
It keeps sending it before I get the thank you but sleep is eluding me tonight jimeka
trigeminal neuralgia, neuropathy and spasticity keeps knocking and won't allow me to rest.
I wish counting sheep worked ! I have been through the trigeminal neuralgia, ended up having my C5/C6 disc out, took a few months for the nerve damage to settle down, but thank God it worked. I burnt my neck with constantly having a heat pad glued to the right side of my face. The neuropathy and spasticity are a different matter, unfortunately no quick fix for that unless you take the medication the doc recommends, then you spend half your day in a very cloudy state. I choose to put up with the neuropathy and spasticity during the day then take the meds at night, that way I get some shut eye. Maybe my essay will bore you to sleep 😴 blessings Jimeka 🦋 🌈

Have taken meds and still not being much help. So I am praying for exhaustion to soon settle in and overcome the discomfort. I think the side effects I am experiencing from the Copaxone are compounding issues and I put a call into my neurologist today to ask about Ocrevus.
I do my copaxone shots in the morning so the sore spots don't keep me up. Have you tried that?
Karen-x I started the shots in the morning however the side effects are so tough for me it would ruin my day so we ended up moving them to the evening so I could sleep through them. I take a tyonol and a benadryl a half hour prior and for the past couple months it has worked. The side effects for me seem to be increasing instead of getting easier. I mentioned about the scorpion infestation in my previous home, the pain from the injection has surpassed that of a scorpion. Leaves a welt the size of a golf ball. I am told by Teva that happens to some people. Have been dealing with nausea, abdominal cramping , diarrhea, migraines and seems like I am in a much more depressive state. May just be from the administration of the injection and knowing what I'm fixing to do to myself. I think I am at the end of my rope with Copaxone. This is the third treatment first I tried was Tifectdera and Gilenya. I was unable to tolerate either they made me so ill. The injection nurse has been to see me three times trying different strategies to ease the symptoms and she told me I was the hardest case she has had to deal with. The injection leaves a welt the size of a golf ball and it remains for a couple weeks afterwards. One on the back of my arm has been there for quite a bit longer cause I had to skip them in the last round of injection site rotations.
Be careful and think hard about the Ocrevus, it has so scary possibilities for cancers.
Morllyn I wasn't aware of the side effects of ocrevus yet. I didn't even get to look over it at all. Csincerely is a side effect? 😔 crap seeing as to how I'm hypersensitive that may be off the table. Uggghhh
Thank you for letting see your wildlife. It's beautiful!
You're amazing! Seeing the beauty around us while experiencing pain takes a marvelous attitude.
I pray you can have the beauty without the pain.
greaterexp thank you so very much for the encouragement. Lord knows I can use it. I have been feeling somewhat useless here in the last few weeks. Thank you do much.
Allen5280 , just the other day, as I was feeling as though another relapse may be starting, I thought about what the future may hold. I asked myself what it would be like to be "reduced" to studying, praying, and encouraging others. Immediately, I felt the question reflected back to me. I began thinking about the huge importance of encouraging others and putting life experience to work. I can't tell you what it has meant to have the perspectives of people here who have already been in the trenches and who can instruct and encourage me. I think I would have more easily sunk into depression without you all. You posting that beautiful picture may seem like a small thing, but it's so big to me. MS has, in a way, "elevated" life to a different level, with better priorities. I surely don't under rate the pain and physical problems, but I hope you know what I mean. I'm learning my value has far less to do with what I do task-wise, and more with who I am, how I treat others, and how I can make the best of my situation.
Thank you for being involved here and encouraging me.
greaterexp that means alot to me. With my circumstance where MS has done so much damage to my brainstem whereas my MS specialist himself said "well I believe in miracles" for I shouldn't be walking or talking at all. I know the Lord has a plan for me. Every breath I draw, every step I take is entirely by his grace. I keep stumbling and falling. The uselessness that I am experiencing is... well I get to feeling I'm not doing enough with the precious gift he has bestowed upon me. I am not worthy of it. Even though I know it isn't up to me I still struggle with the demons of the past. I am truly grateful for all he has done. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in just trying to get through my days that I forget who's holding my hand through it all. When I mess up is when it gets to me. So much has been done for me that I get to feeling inadequate of his mercy and love. I know better. So I can't figure out where the dark thoughts are comming from. I guess it's the medication. My last true relapse was last September. MS was after my optic nerve and I was loosing my eyesight. That was scary. 5 days of infusion was all it took instead of 8. I was in OU medical at okc l and I witnessed several miracles while I was there and I felt useful. His ways are not our ways and I thought I was going to the hospital for me when it was to go for a completly different reason. I didn't even need to be there for the whole treatment before regaining my eyesight. It also opened the eyes of my heart as well. Sometimes I get to feeling as I'm not doing enough or doing things right. Everyone here are such a blessing to me. I thank and love y'all. May the Lord bless and may his peace be with you. You will be in my prayers
