Happy New Year Everyone! It is officially 15 days into the new year and so far it has been interesting in a non-exciting way.

The good points so far is that I have not had a relapse in a while. I think it’s been about 2 years and not counting. I think that everytime I think about things like that I jinx myself, so am trying to stay on the positive side of things. How many of you have made new year’s resolutions? I made one and everyone thought it was funny. Pfbt!. So I have decided to make another one which is to stay on the positive side of things when dealing with life situations with my MS and to make an effort to post and write more in my blog. Let’s see if I can make that commitment.

This winter has been rough for me. The cold really makes my body hurt. I feel like I have ice water running through my veins. I just love that feeling. NOT!  Experiencing a lot of tingling in my legs more like in my spine area and the bottoms of my feet. I cannot tell if it is from my diabetes or not. It would be great to pinpoint that down so I can figure out how to relieve the pain without medication. Other issues I have been experiencing is my legs sometimes throb unbeliveably so. I am not sure if it is from standing all day sometimes when I am experimenting with cooking recipes or what. I am trying to not think the worst. Is it a sign of things to come? Here I go again, as my sister calls me “negative nelly” – well can you blame me?

I have not heard from any of my MS pals especially Myra. I need to make an effort to email them and see how they are doing and maybe do a get-together again. Would love to just do chats and see how everyone is. On that note, I think I will send an email to some and see how things are going.

Til next time. Have a great month.
