There is no quota

If we make it through this life with only one big medical crisis you are lucky,  I think.  God never promised us at some point here we'd meet our quota of trial and move directly to "Go" and collect our badge of courage.   I have Multiple Sclerosis.  I also have chronic hives.  I also have an anxiety disorder.  I also have depression.  I have high cholesterol.  I have geographic tongue.  and i have adult acne.

Chronic hives flare.  lasted 10 months. had steroids and a mild chemotherapy drug to get them under control. then i had to ween off of them for 2 months and PRAY it worked.  this is the second flare.

   this was testing for allergies.  trying to find a trigger for the hives... but Dr. said inconclusive.  that my body was so hyper sensitive right now with the autoimmune response i was reacting to everything.

this is just the daily maintenance package.  Vit D, acne antibiotics, complex B-Vit, fish oil, allergy med
with then hives i was taking an additional 10-12 pills a day.

Im just trying to find a balance; every minute of every day, that makes me happy and gets me to the next minute.  some things Ive figured out.
In order to get ahead of the depression  I agreed to myself to be out of bed my 10 am every morning.

I must make my bed so I am not tempted to climb back in at some point in the day.

I must eat breakfast in order to give myself a chance to have the fuel and energy to perform tasks until the fatigue gets me.

I have an exercise class at 9:30 every morning that is available to me, I must go at least twice a week.  I need those endorphins! Exercise gives me a boost of energy and some emotional encouragement that I AM able to do plenty of things still and I DO have strength.
