Learning how to balance everything in my life is something I've been working on for such a long time. Seems like just as soon as I figure out how to juggle everything and keep all the balls in the air, something else is thrown at me and I end up focusing too much on catching the new ball that I drop all the other ones I was keeping in the air so well. *sigh* I wonder if I am the only one... Pretty sure I'm not. Here I am fumbling around and trying to get everything picked up and slowly working things back into a new routine. I'll get there. Thankfully I have a great boss that understands.... well as much as possible anyway.
Daughter. Wife. Mother. Employee. Friend. Volunteer. Pick out which ever title you like... any one of them can be a full time job in itself. Now, add Multiple Sclerosis Patient to that list and we have another ball of wax all together! I am all of those things and so very much more. I started this blog - not only as a part of my fundraising updates to friends and family, but as a journal of my life with MS. A place to share my struggles and triumphs with others.

Rude reminders.
Sometimes having MS really sucks more than others. Most of the time I am able to pretend that there are no impacts on my life from it... Well, that is until it rears its ugly head and reminds me in one way or another.
MS has been reminding me of its presence the last month or so - this time through some not so great lab work. To make a long story short, I have to stop my current treatment plan and start another. If this next treatment plan doesn't work, I would then be out of options for FDA approved MS drugs until the next new thing hits the market.
Well- fingers crossed. Here we go again.
