Fear

Anybody else having this problem? I am disabled. I am afraid of starting anything. There's the painful lack of attention span, fear of failure. I used to be pretty brave and fearless. Back in the day I entered pageants, had plastic surgery to get rid of fat on the sides of my knees, also entered a ...

Falling backwards!

So sorry for being so quiet on here! I’ve been falling more often, causing damage to my ego!! I actually fell in the service station toilets, wacking my head and elbow!! Luckily a stranger helped me get up, nice to know there are still nice people in the world willing to help!

Hmmm

As of lately, my right hand, arm, my mouth, had been shaky. I’m wondering if I should be concerned? It’s been a few weeks of being like this. I’m also seeing a new neurologist soon for second opinion & to try to get another medication because the one I am in since March last year, Kesimpta, has not ...

Ouch

The other day, I had an accident that was the worst one of all the ones that I’ve had. I was on my walker in my kitchen, I see a small piece of trash & I tried to pick it up. I slightly tried to stand & when sitting back, my body somehow moved my walker which made it incredibly impossible to sit bac...
