Just Living Life: Day 34- Oh dear..

Day 34- Oh dear..

..don't worry it's not totally bad.

I just want to say, maybe you have been in my shoes before, but until you get to wear my shoes you may not fully appreciate a 'pass'. Yes, so far this week I have passed my midterms, and I just have one more paper left. [so close]
This week feels like its never ending and just keeps going on and on and on. Started out, like I had told you earlier... with a nice awful sleep, felt like the flu that stayed with me for 24 hours. Gross. Then I had a full day to study and it felt like NO INFORMATION was going into my head and staying! Yeah NONE! Oh but thats ok. Apparently 66% of the info stayed with me. So that is good. I am so very ok with that.

Well I am off to Bible Study soon, but I did just want to tell you about my grade, and I had a great sleep last night due to and new mattress.. yeah I don't have to sleep on the foamie that my parents owned 25 years ago, then passed on to me, then passed to my uncle and aunt at that point my cousin slept on it for many a year and then guess who got it next?!? ME! It went from a Queen to a Double too. Just a little deformed. But I got a new one... memory foam on top of a 4in foamie. It makes my back happy, and me.

Oh I believe I have also discovered something new this week, which drug I'm on. Most likely Rebif- hence the 24 flu the last few times I've dosed. But don't be too disappointed, I am not. I mean I do wish that I was on the study drug, but if I wasn't apart of the study I would've been on this drug anyways. However this does mean more side affects with Rebif, which I have figured out. (I was being titrated up to full dose over the last month, and the last few injections were full dose, and apparently my body doesn't really like the full dose) So I called my nurse at UBC and she told me that I should take half of the full dose while I am taking my last midterms and finals. Then we will talk about it more. So depends on how you perceive it... good news and bad news this week. But seriously stay positive, I am. Laugh about something, I have. (haha, someone I know doesn't always appreciate my MS humour)

Have a great night, thanks for keeping in touch!

Prayer Requests

February 25

-this last week exhausted me, and I still have a pretty busy week ahead of me. I need strength.

-my anxiety level still climbs pretty high..getting better at calming myself down.

-I have been having terrible back pain lately--not the same as earlier this week. But its been waking me up at night and pretty bad throughout the day

January 28

-pain in my hand to go away or lessen - thank you. The pain has subsided since this day. I don't know why it came or why its not here. But it is gone for now which is nice.

-comfort and to trust in God

-anxiety; to help me calm down with school and life at times

-to continue to find the joys in life and to be thankful for the things little or not that I have.

January 23

-Clinical starts tomorrow--it could be long days. I may get fatigued fairly easy.

-I am so anxious these days and have many tests and quizzes in my classes which sky rockets my anxiety level. Sometimes it hard and creates my hand to cramp up much more often.

December 19

-I really must work this break to help pay for my expenses of next semester. However that means I must pick up a bunch of shifts. I haven't been 'on the ball' for 8 hours in a very long time. Especially when the shift goes to 2300hrs. It will be a long 5 days in a row. Strength was there..It was hard the first few hours but then once the rhythm things were better

~strength would be appreciated

~focus (I work in a mental health group home; meds, people can sometimes be draining)

~I took more than half a dose of my injection tonight and feel like I have the flu: achy, chilled, hot etc. This never changes.. I just need to remember to not inject more than half. :)

Thank you.

December 6

-Finished my first exam this morning...Most of it was alright. I believe all I needed was 40% to pass the course. 74%... I passed the course.
- I am exhausted all day everyday...yes most people are these days, but just throw in MS in the mix

-I have two more exams.. Monday and Wednesday @ 11:30am.
Then home for the holidays....

November 27

- Good sleep for tonight... and less side affects from drug... went to half dose tonight, we shall see how that goes.

Thanks!

Prayer, prayer, prayer

- I need good sleeps for these next two weeks.

- I think I am either getting sick or something, but I feel like I have just contracted the flu. (health) (Good chance I'm on Rebif-not the drug trail drug)

November 24

-this week went well for midterms, and papers :) (11/27: Passed my first midterm.. one more to go)

-I have had a strange bit of energy this week. Which is a good thing, but I have still been super tired. I think it was just really good to get some of my midterms out of the way. Despite my school going on strike.

-I have not been sleeping well these past few weeks. Waking up lots, sweaty, hot, cold, kind of all over the place. (Switched back to half a dose d/t the side affects... don't worry my nurse told me to)

Thanks again for your thoughts

November 16

Midterms are coming up...

-focus to study

-energy for throughout the days during midterms, and exam week

Thats all I can think of today.
Thanks!
