Living vs ExistingEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We all know that how we feel during any given day or period of time in our life can be different, even if we don't have the words to describe it. For example, sometimes we are deeply engaged, aware, and present, which I call "living". This style of being feels good, and we are alive with energy and able to connect to ourselves, others, and the world. When we are really living, we embrace our lives and potential, and make the most of our time. In contrast, there are times we feel disengaged, disconnected, unconscious, and distant. Some people say "I feel like a zombie" or that they are on "autopilot", or in "survival mo...

Facebook Continues to Dominate Among YouthEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Last week, we discovered that 4 out of 5 teens prefer and use Facebook over the leading sugarless gum. Oh, sorry, I meant to say that while 7 out of 10 (73% to be exact) teens use social networking websites like Facebook, only 1 in 12 teens use Twitter. Clearly, the still-in-place-to-be is on Facebook and other social networking websites like it. The new data comes from our friends over at the Pew Internet and American Life Project, who conducted a phone survey in the middle of last year of 800 adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17. And while teens continue to embrace social networking, they seem to be abandoning the...

Size Doesn’t Matter in a Life with Chronic PainEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I’m constantly amazed at the power of the human spirit. I’ve met so many wonderful people in my nursing career and on this blog. The degree, the size or the intensity of the pain is not nearly as important as the size of the courage that is called on to meet it. When you think about life it is sometimes the little things that get you down; the splinter in a finger, the blister on a heel or the flea on the dog. If you’re in the right frame of mind, little things can “do you in” as much as the larger incidents. We all have learned the power of the insistent “little things” as they persist in nagging and nigglin...

Before I launch into this topic for a second (and more informed) time, let me remind us all that just because I write this blog, it does not mean I have all the answers…not even a plurality of them, really. Earlier in the month we posted my preliminary thoughts on the subject of Dr. Paulo Zamboni’s research into chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) and what he calls the Liberation Treatment. At that time, I stated a skepticism which I felt healthy but others equated to some form of conspiracy, in which I was a player. I am not. After reading the published papers of Dr. Zamboni, et al, I could sum up my ...

We have all lived through things we wished we had not experienced, some of us more than others. Coping with these memories, images, or feelings can be quite difficult. Something I notice when people talk about their painful past experiences is that many seem to be transported back to the time period it happened in. This is referred to as "reliving", and it is understandable why we put so much effort into avoiding this material if our only way to work with it is to experience it all over again. I hold reliving in contrast to "remembering", which is when we can look at the past material from our current position, rather ...

I didn’t mind tamoxifen at all, but my doctor decided that I am done with it. Studies show that there is no increase in benefit from taking tamoxifen for more than five years. Now my oncologist insists that following with five years of Femera will provide the greatest risk reduction ...

I get a lot of press releases around here - not a day goes by that several don't show up in the e-mail queue. I glance over the titles, and I'll open up the more interesting ones and look at them in more detail. Since I feel no obligation to read unsolicited bulk mail (who does?), the less interesting ones get deleted without opening. Most of what shows up is reasonably well targeted, from university press offices or scientific publishers, and once in a while one of them will lead to a blog post. The PR from small pharma/biotech companies is also probably well targeted, but it's much less likely to lead to anything, simpl...

Her case manager sends us updates from time to time and in each one she refers to Lolly as “Mother” or “Mom.” I confess, this affectation really bothers me. As far as I know Lolly only has one living child and I’m married to him. It reminds me of an incident, many years ago, w...

As of Friday afternoon, a long awaited addition to our arsenal of MS symptomatic drugs has been approved. We had a conversation about Ampyra which is a timed-release version of the drug 4-Aminopyridine (and formerly known as Fampridine SR), last May. At that time the drug was being resubmitted to the FDA for approval (rejected, originally, due to “formatting issues” during the application process). This drug is thought to increase signal conduction by blocking tiny pore-like potassium channels on nerves of the central nervous system (CNS). The time-released part of the drug is what is new, for those of you who have b...

I had to stand in a long line to pay for my groceries this weekend.

I thought I would share it with you. Breast cancer taught me: That it’s not what you have but who you are that matters. That healthy people get cancer. That good people get cancer.

The mystery pain that I had back in Feb 2008 has returned. Back then, I thought that I had a kidney stone, but the doctors were not so sure. At the time, I had a lot of pain that felt very similar to a kidney stone – came and went, sharp sometimes and dull achy pain other times. I did have a stone that was in my kidney but the urologists told me that I shouldn’t have pain with it there – it would only hurt when it made its way to the urethra. My general doctor thought that it was the stone causing the pain so I never really had a clear answer since no one agreed. Since then, I have had bouts of pain that fe...

How Do We Know if our MS Drugs Are Working?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
It’s a question that most all of us have asked ourselves and/or our doctors. It’s a question based on our understanding or perhaps misunderstanding of research data. It’s a question of faith in “modern medicine.” It’s a question of hope for the future but still, it’s a question worth asking! The original numbers from those first (now nearly two-decades old) drug studies told us that our MS attacks could be reduced by some 30 percent. Did that mean that we would have 30 percent fewer exacerbations? Would they be 30 percent less severe? Or would the drugs only work for 30 percent of us? To this day, it�...

A few posts I enjoyed for various reasons, from bloggers both familiar and completely new to me. “Choice” as a Feminist Idol – Sungold at Kittwampus, who reminds us that “choice” is pretty empty if it doesn’t include access, justice, rights, autonomy, and self-determination. Likewise, Radical Doula argues that it should be “Blog for Justice Day.” Britni at Oh My God, That Britni’s Shameless shares a video, of a performance by Sonia Renee on “What We Deserve,” that gave me goosebumps (transcript provided). I Trust Me, But Can I Trust You? – Heidi of A Black G...

Multiple Sclerosis and HeadachesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I’ve read your comments enough times to realize that we’re likely over due for a discussion about headaches, particularly migraine headaches and multiple sclerosis. Many have made statements, in comments left on other general topics, of experiencing migraine headaches along with their other MS symptoms. Some state that they’ve experienced these most of their lives while others have only gotten these monster headaches after they experienced MS symptoms or were diagnosed. The topic of migraine is a difficult one for medical science to explain in general. Terms such as “cluster headaches,” “sick-headaches,” ...

Buying Shoes to Get Through ChemoEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I have decided that I need a pair of red patent leather high heel pumps with a platform. I saw them somewhere a couple of weeks ago and they keep creeping into my thoughts. I have a real weakness for shoes. This doesn’t make me unique as a woman, shoes have a real appeal for most of us. These shoes are pretty sensational though, they are shiny and the perfect shade of tomato red and have at least a four inch heel. I picture them with a skinny pair of jeans (I was envisioning when I was skinnier). Truthfully I didn’t buy them because I sensed they would end up with the rest of my collection of shoes, many of whi...

I asked for some input on what a new diabetes web site could offer, and I got it – Thank You! Ahem… ask a silly question, get a silly answer, right? I mean it should have been obvious that the No. 1 thing that fits under the heading “StupidDiabetes.com” is humor! The general consensus seems [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine)

Blog for Choice Day 2010 – What “Trust Women” Means to MeEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Each year, NARAL Pro-Choice America poses a theme for Blog for Choice Day to commemorate the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. This year’s theme honors murdered provider Dr. George Tiller, who reportedly often wore a button that simply read, “Trust Women.” What “trust women” means to me is a theme I discussed in my 2007 Blog for Choice Day post, and I think those words bear reiteratin here. I am pro-choice because I believe in women. I believe there are situations in a woman’s life that I/the government cannot possibly manage for her, and I believe individual women are the ones respo...

Who is Your Mama in a Life of Chronic Pain?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
When I was a child of eleven years of age, I had to go to bed for a year due to rheumatic fever. I was never a particularly healthy kid and had strep throat more times than I can remember, before and after that time. Naturally, it worried my parents and my mother, who had trouble expressing her feelings, did so by being very protective of me. My father was an adorable and loving man who wept when I was diagnosed and over the years, each time I became ill, he brought me milkshakes, usually strawberry, and of course, the latest comic books. As I recall my favorites were always the Archie comics and another character named Lu...
