Ramification of torticollis nonsense and what happens when you have side effects with botox . After my latest round of Botox that I have every 3 months to deal with the torticollis new nonsense I now am choking every time I try to swallow something or God forbid eat something. This is not the diet plan I was looking for 🤦 I called the MS center for some advice on swallowing or rather navigating the new nonsense and then cold a different neurologist to try to get a second opinion. Of course I can't be seen until freaking August. No I don't want to go to the emergency room it's not an emergency simply going to the emergency room cost more money than my God damn mortgage. Luckily if I eat small bites of tiny things I'm able to choke down some food and cream of wheat works but damn it not cool. On the other hand my husband made a really cool attachment to a scooter we have so that we can hook my Walker onto it so that when we go on vacation I can take the walker with me at the beach when we drive around. It's the little things I'm such a lucky woman to have such a fabulous husband 🤩 and yes attitude is everything do what you can how you can when you can and everything else can f*** off 🤣

I was married and he didn't support me matter of fact he had 10 affairs so I'm divorc...

I lost all hope I’m feeling lonely but I lost all confidence in myself with my eyes. No job, no money, can’t drive, live with my parents I don’t have much to offer. Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror or pictures n I think I look so ugly with my eyes.
