break down

Hello Bloggers.

So I am getting married in 3 months....and well as most people know, weddings are sooo damn expensive.
Well, I had been stressing out about a lot of things, especially the wedding and broke down last night to find out that internally I was upset because I haven't been able to extra things to make money for the wedding because I have been on medical leave. I broke down and let it all out and today is a new day. But I think I really needed to do it because I fell 100 times better today.


Fierce, Hope and Love!

damn you friday! hahaha

Soooooo... Today is Friday! I know for most of us that is a sigh of relif because that means the weekend is here and we do not have to worry about work and just get to relax a little bit, for me firdays are bittersweet, yes here comes the weekend so yay! but I also take my Avonex injection on fridays. This is the injection that I have to take to keep my MS under control. Unfortunatly when I recieve the injection I feel super Ill for a good 24 hours... sometimes less and sometimes more.
I know alot of you Are probably wondering why the hell I would decide to take this on the weekend? Well the answer is simple: I have shit to do during the week, and I really cannot afford to be on my but in bed. Yes, that is the case sometimes without the shot, but nevertheless I would like to be as able as I can during the week so I can do what I need to do.

One of the main reasons why I hate this shot is because during the week I am a normal 26 year old girl..(well I try to be anyways) and I try not to think of my MS or that I have it. I knwo it's bad but sometimes I forget that im sick... and this injection just concretes it for me. Im not in denial of it, but I try to not think of it so much, for my own sanity.

Well, I have a few more hours until I get the shot. My finace' gives it to me when he gets home from work. He is a huge reason why I am still able to be strong. He is so supportive and I couldnt do this without him, or my parents.


FIERCE, HOPE and LOVE!

took me a while to start this up....

Hello Readers!

I wasn't sure what I wanted to say for my first post but I guess I will just start by telling you why I decided to start this blog. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in February of 2006. Ever since then I have tryed to explain how I feel and how thousands of us feel everyday. I created this blog so I could give myself an outlet, to write about my daily struggles and the good things that happen in my day to day life and how I deal with living with MS. I would love for anyone with this diease to read this and feel like they can relate to someone and not to feel alone, which is what so many of us feel all of the time.

I would love feeback, comments, encouragment...anythign youd liek to send my way would be awesome.

Hope and Love!
