MS Diary | MRIs didn't go well

For the rest of my life, I have an enemy, an Op, a boss at the end of every level. It's the MRIs. The machine, tube, noise, tech, all of it. *smh*

I gotta go back and when I do, these lessons will improve the experience. 

1.. double up Flexeril 30 min 

      before tube time

2.. wear lidocaine patches on 

      lower back and legs 

3.. stay UP late as possible 

       the night before

I can do this. I just need to personalize the experience.

MS Diary | MRI Day

2.5hrs in the tube. *sigh* I spasm and jerk every few minutes. That's a BIIIIG no no. My medical team advises I double up on medications to be still. Here. We. Go.

MS Diary | Mindgames and healthcare 

The GOOD news is options have opened because I'm showing signs of getting worse. Of course, now, I'm overthinking just how bad am I?

mindset OVER bullshit Roadhouse 

We came. We talked. We drank. Some of us ate. We agreed to do it all again on Friday, 6/21/24.

MS Diary | Dealing with gas pockets under the arm

MS Diary | How our mental health plays w/ negative thoughts 

This is THE analogy! Writing your Gratitude Journal stories is practice for the REAL bullshit. That's why it's so important to build those good habits. Hell, I wasn't born this mentally strong. Shit, ya boi overthinks issues with the wife, kids, J-O-B (just OVER broke). 

The only difference between us… I've been doing my gratitude journal for 1365 straight days. On game day (when the REAL bullshit starts), I'm better prepared because I practice.

MS Diary | Wheelchair Users seeking employment 

It costs $50 for the TX Health insurance license. That's it. $50 for the application THEN a 150-question test. That test is a monster. There are a buuuunch of online and in-person trainings that teach you to pass the test. A LOT of those refund your money if you don't pass!

MS Diary | I gotta make changes

So, what am I changing? Alcohol intake. Exercise routines. Less sugar. 

Wish me luck!
