Jeanine Thiede replied to the topic Pets can brighten our day, but is it difficult for you to take care of them? in the forum Living With MS 3 years, 2 months ago
My husband walks the dog, and I use potty pads for night time. She likes to sit on my lap, so I take that time to brush her and cut where is needed around her eyes and mussel. She is part Yorki and Doxson. She has the Yorki hair and dox body. I have to keep her hair short around her face or I am always cleaning it after meal time. If I don’t get…[Read more]

Jeanine Thiede replied to the topic Is it difficult for you to do daily tasks by yourself? in the forum Living With MS 3 years, 2 months ago
Hi Debi, It is indeed difficult for me to do daily tasks. Even brushing my teeth. I had to get an electric tooth brush. Before I was diagnosed I could not figure out why my arm got so fatigued. I had to stop mid way and rest. So much better now. I have been trying to find little ways to cope better. Shower/bath chair, toilet rails. I can still go…[Read more]

Ed Tobias, I work on my core and stretches on my legs, I try to work on my arms but I have been getting a lot of pain as of late. I have a gym in my garage. I wish I had a bike. I can not do much on my legs as Debi also mentioned. I find if I don’t anything, my legs are harder to deal with. I do 40 setups every other day along with weight work out…[Read more]

Jeanine Thiede replied to the topic Which of your MS symptoms are a constant? Which ones come and go? in the forum Living With MS 3 years, 4 months ago
This is a good post! I have been wondering the same thing. My come and goes are, my voice leaves and sometimes it is an all day deal. I have recently found if I eat a Popsicle it helps, or a cold pack on my neck. My eye wobble or shake. So, no more driving. Bladder and bowels come and go. Either I am running to the restroom or sitting and sitting…[Read more]

Jeanine Thiede replied to the topic What mobility devices help you to get around? in the forum Durable Medical Equipment 3 years, 5 months ago
Hi Debi, I use a four leg cane around the house. Walls, chairs and sofa to hold onto when walking. I don’t go anywhere except the doctor’s. Only one time they had to wheel me out in a wheel chair because my eyes decided they were going to go cross on me. I got really disoriented. I had to teach my husband how to do the shopping. I used one of…[Read more]

Jeanine Thiede replied to the topic What does Christmas mean to you? in the forum Living With MS 3 years, 5 months ago
Stress.
I always loved to host dinners. Thanksgiving and Christmas. The last three or so years I noticed I was down for about a week or so afterwards. Last year I had to tell my kids, mom can’t do this anymore. It’s your turn. Thus far, no one has called me to ask me over to their home for Christmas celebration. In a way, I am relieved. I spend…[Read more]
