☆ offer a positive lifestyle for #disability

mindset OVER bullshit Interview: Earnest 

*salutes* Yoo! First, I super duper appreciate anyone taking the time to check out what I do. Seriously, this podcast, interviews, gratitude journals, speeches are my passion. 

🤜🏽🤛🏽

Now, about these interviews. I’m introducing Tribespeople to individuals with stories that distract us from the bullshit of abandonment, chronic illness and physical limitations.

♿️

I’m showcasing the resilience and pure success of people that OVER-come negativity, hardship, everything aligned with generational trauma and family curses.

💪🏽

We are here. We been here. We ain’t going nowhere.

🦏

WE thrive and share the way up and out.

MS Diary | Saturday, 12/16/23 | Update on left knee

I must push through whatever pain today. It's my son's 18th birthday!

I'm already on yoga, moving the leg, stocked my wheelchair bag with Ibuprofen and drinking vodka. I refuse to miss out, tap out, anything wack. I'm participating in these shenanigans.

MS Diary | Thursday, 12/14/23 | A random Gratitude story 

I didn't break my glasses. I didn't get seriously hurt. That always counts.

MS Diary | Wednesday, 12/13/23 | Usuable Hours

Don't believe the hype! We have 24 usable hours in a day. Your Wellness routines, restroom trips, yoga, meditation, all the stuff you do to keep yourself going takes time from the 24 usable hours. 

Now that you know, stop beating yourself up for being late, not finishing to-do lists. Stop comparing yourself to the "normies and walkers".

You are special. 

WE are special.

MS Diary | Tuesday, 12/12/23 | Cannabis vs left knee pain

I don't know why it hurts. It started a couple months ago and slowly grown in consistency and degree. I thought more yoga and movement would help but nope. I've dropped Ibuprofen but it's less effective than it used to be.

Last night, I treated myself with cannabis. That put me back to sleep. 

MS Diary | Saturday, 12/9/23 | Good things popping but quick question 

I'm changing the times for the mindset OVER bullshit podcast and Gratitude Journal University on TikTok. 

MS Diary | Friday, 12/8/23 | I need to see my OLD MRIs before buying NEW MRIs

I can't put it any simpler. It's a financial thing but the medical part is our right. I deserve to know the results of each MRI so I can make informed health decisions. 

How I want to treat Multiple Sclerosis | Fall 2020 video

With employment in 2022, I changed my MS treatment plan. Well, not changed, I abandoned my wellness routines.

In the 18-months of pain killers, muscle relaxers, fusions, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other forms, I've declined. 

I miss having energy throughout the day. I miss being present. I miss the way I felt, how limber my body was. I miss sleeping all night, spooning my wife.

My chronic illness is Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. There is no cure. No medication heals or repairs the physical damage to my body. The medical professionals offer expensive drugs hoping to slow the progression of disabilities and limitations. 

Comparing my wellness routines to the medical programs can be tricky because I can't view them in a vacuum. 

Still, I prefer the former. There is no if, and or but. I'm busting my ass to create a lifestyle grounded in wellness routines and mental health. 

This is why I started a GoFundMe. My goal is earn disability, SSI, food stamps and Medicaid.
