I am kind of irritated

My disease is progressing at an incredibly rapid pace suddenly over the past six months or so. Mind you, I have not seen a neuro since my divorce, I just could not get in to one in Missouri. Here in Kansas everything is wonderful. I have an appt. at the end of Feb. But I made the mistake of reading about end stage MS and I come close to fitting the bill. I have PPMS and thought I could not have relapses, but boy I am having a wicked one now. Thankfully my pain doctor in MO gave me a bout of steroids just in case. I am going to star them tomorrow. I am having to use a wheelchair, which I have avoided for years (full time). I am struggling to breath, do not want food, cannot urinate easily. Someone cure this stinking rotten disease we all suffer so much from! Please! Love to all of my family where I can vent and be afraid, Kelly xx

Kelly, this is surely the best place to vent. I’m so sorry about these changes. I pray the steroids do a great job of getting your symptoms under control very quickly. I’ll also pray your new neurologist there is a smart, compassionate one.

I hope you will let us know how you are. Many gentle hugs.

I was just telling Jimeka that I had a bad fall, I am so tired. It is now 1:30 a.m. with no sleep in sight. But if I stay in bed I do not think I can get injured! 😅😇🥰🤣

Hang in there dear friend. Consider yourself a prototype for the rest of us with Permanently Privileged ms, if you were a new car, you would be taken out for a test drive, to see how you could handle the road ahead. There would be lots of bends, some sharper than others, but you are in he driving seat, so do your best, and handle it as well as you can. Thinking of you, Blessings Jimeka 🤗 🙏

Thank you Jimeka. I like the analogy of the car. But believe me, no one wants to be following me right now! 😂🤣 I am not even driving at the moment. But it will get better, I know. I just fell a bit ago and got a good crack on my head on the corner of my nightstand. I need your bubble suit with helmet! Thanks again. Much love, Kelly

I have a wonderful “Marine” fiancé with me every roll of the way. He has a similar disability, it is his wheelchair I am borrowing. He is a disabled vet who got the bad fortune to get transverse myelitis, please look it up, kissing cousin to ms.

Oh no Kelly, I am so sorry you think that. I hope you are wrong and I am afraid with you. It’s possible that you would need to go into the hospital for additional treatment if that is true. The breathing, I imagine, is the most terrifying and exhausting.

I’m glad you don’t have to wait long to see someone and have some meds on hand. Vent away dear, we will all be here to listen and love you.

Also, stop googling. 🤗😘

Hi sweet one! I know, they say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. You are right about the breathing, it has been quite fearful at times. But life goes on. I believe those steroids will be a lifesaver, I loved that doctor. She did not need to give me any, she was my pain doctor, but said “ just in case” and she was so right! But how are you, V, hubby and baby? I know how exhausting it is. I think of you so often, and apologize for not staying in touch better. Just think, I had 8 of those darling, noisy creatures! What was I thinking? But as adults they and my grandchildren are my joys. I love you and want you to take care of yourself. Love, Kelly xxx

Have the steroids made the breathing any better?

She’s a blessing then!! I feel that my OB was one too, she gave me steroids in recovery, and I’m thankful every hour that I’m not having to do this without them. I’m also hitting the caffeine pretty hard 😬

We are surviving pretty well, I think! He’s working through the loss of a parent , V is better now since I’m able to do more with her, and Val is slowly working towards sleeping at night. Painfully slow 🤣🥱

No sorry! I know you were and I was thinking of you also. Ever had a friend that you could have silent conversations with? 🤣😘 We got that beat!

I would have loved to have more...but 8 is probably double what I could imagine 😵 We are getting the names mixed up and only have 2 🤣🤷‍♀️

I love you too and want you to rest! And avoid things with sharp corners 😵🤗😘
