Pam, Myra and Lesa still going strong

The group meeting went very well this past Saturday, October 18th. I’m sorry that Katie could not join us as she had prior commitments. I am hoping soon eventually she will be able to meet with us. There is so much support and information to share with each other, everyone benefits.

We have agreed on several things, The central location for the meetings will be somewhere in Howell. We will try it out for a few times, and if it does not work out we will change the meeting place. I will be doing some research to see where we can all meet in Howell.

The 2nd thing we talked about was a group name. We have officially decided that the group name is going to be “Living it Up with MS”. IT’S OFFICIAL.

Everyone agreed that the 2nd Saturday of every month 11:30 am seemed to be the best logical meeting time and date.  We also talked about maybe trying out TeaVana in Troy Michigan Somerset Mall on November 8th. We will just play it by ear and see how everyone is doing. I brought brochures for everyone to read up on. KUDO’s to Heather Wilson for going to the Somerset Mall for me and gathering all the information. Thank you Heather!

Thank you Lori Baar for providing transporation for Lesa. I am hoping that Lesa’s husband will come to one of our meetings, it is important that he shares the same thoughts and feelings Lesa is going through right now with her MS. The family support needs to be there, still working on that family unit support. Lesa had some major set backs with food issues. I think that now her family realizes that she cannot eat their food and needs to eat organic, gluten, dairy and yeast free things. Lesa shared her latest food discovery, that she cannot eat eggs. So now that makes it the 4 things she has to watch out for in her diet.

Myra was feeling so-so. Still having some major issues with tingling. She is working it out with her doctor. Hopefully they will pinpoint what exactly is the problem and what is causing the tingling.

I am doing ok other than fighting the fatigue. I have started working again. I am trying it out for 3 months to see if I can handle the full time load and school. If things get bad I will leave work and stick with school as we all know that I have waited so long, so many disapointments and years to start with school again, and I am not about to give that up.

My sister brought some really cool information to the meeting. I will post this information on another post because I want to keep it the focal point. So check out my next post after you read this one.
