My beautiful Aunt died of multiple sclerosis when she was still a young woman. Our country needs to devote more research money to finding treatments for this debilitating disease. #multiplesclerosis #multiplesclerosisfunding #multiplesclerosisresearch #endmultiplesclerosis #disease #preventingdisease #debilitating #debilitatingdisease #debilitatingillness #illness #chronic #chronicillness #chronicdisease #medicine #modernmedicine #medicalresearch #research #medicinal

I talk about the #mental #illness of #denial a lot. #America has so much denial on so many fronts. It is the most common mental illness in the world. And that it is pervasive. It's a long road baby. She does not have it twisted back here. I see the light, but I won't see the end of this tunnel.

As a disabled person I’m so tired of visiting doctors/etc. so much. I don’t even go to them as much as some folks but I feel drained just thinking about it. I don’t have a fear of the setting or needles. Still I do get anxious even when it’s with someone that I’ve seen several times. Anyway. I have to go to get looked at because I still have bronchitis symptoms. (Bloody mucus being coughed up, real fun /s) I don’t care for that or for driving to go get prescriptions afterward.

Quote of the day, 26 March: Saint Zélie Martin

As for me, I’m not so strong. For two weeks straight, I’ve had a fever. Thursday night I was so sick that I thought I was finished. I thought I had the same illness as my little Hélène.

As for me, I’m not confined to my bed, but I’m not doing well at all. I often have a fever, or, more accurately, I have a fever every day. I’m not suffering very much, but I have a constant headache and a general weakness. I have no more energy. I have no stamina for work, and I don’t have the heart for it.

Sometimes I imagine that I’ll go away as gently as my little Hélène. I assure you that I barely care for my own life. Ever since I lost this child, I feel a burning desire to see her again. However, those that remain need me, and, because of them, I ask God to leave me on this earth a few more years.

Food divided by Distance

In the kind of dream that only happens when I'm ill, I invented an app that would track both your location and your food consumption, and report to social media your journey progress as a proportion of your remaining meal.

Having spent the last several months dealing with the healthcare system and my mother-in-law's terminal illness, I highly recommend asking for a palliative consult as soon as possible. Also hospice provides such beautiful care for end of life where no treatment is available. It's a shame Manitoba only has 16 hospice beds but we hope for the future. #Illness #Cancer #Hospice
