    Jacqueline replied to the topic Is taking a shower difficult for you? in the forum Living With MS 1 year, 5 months ago

    I make sure i shower-shampoo my hair keeping my head as straight as i can without bending the neck and head forwards, as if i was to bend my neck, my head forwards, i can guarantee Lhermitte’s ( sign – phenomenon ) will have me down on the floor, like it did once when i was showing the shampoo off and i briefly closed my eyes as i was doing it…

      Jacqueline replied to the topic Need to Know: Does Multiple Sclerosis Make Me Rare? in the forum Living With MS 2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes ” Invisible Disease ” Day, as this is exactly what our MS is to non MS’ers…they simply have no clue as to realy what is going on inside our body…what the insides of our body really feels like to live with on a daily basis..

            My answer has now changed, my circumstances have changed since I lost my partner suddenly to a heart blockage…I now would thank God for hearing my prayer and answering to it in taking my PP-MS away from me…then i will concentrate on the rest of my life whatever that may be…hopefully i will have some form of actually wanting to be LIVING…[Read more]

                  Yes my right hand, although to look at it, looks identical to my left hand, so only I know how it feels. I used to describe it a shrivelled up dried leaf, it feels as if the coating has come off and has a daily constant mild pins and needles which at times makes it harder to use especially fiddly things like putting the butterfly backs into the…[Read more]

                  I quite agree, and would you believe it? the first thing I asked  for when he greeted me at the front door ( the place was empty ) was if I could pay a visit to the loo, as I was absolutely dying to go. He ushered me out to the tiny and rather cramped backroom.

                  I would like to think I take after my late father, he was from what we call ” a rough and ready ” family. I do feel that I am becoming more like him, especially as now I use all these positive Idioms that he once used, it is only lately I am realising what a positive person he was.

                  I achieved the walk to the hairdressers, it was a hard slog as the top-join of my right leg was still actively doing its electricity shocks, whilst walking from A to B over cobbled stone ground, the area is now pedestrianised and where my other half decided this morning to park the car was not nearer-easier but further-harder, so I was not pleased…[Read more]

                  Like many MS’ers, I suffer terrible almost daily ” stomach bloat, ” and I know much is down to the foods and liquids I eat and drink. My lower stomach bloat does affect the rest of my MS body.
