How are you feeling right now?
This is a great prompt. I was kinda already going to talk about this today, and when I saw the prompt, I decided to go with it. How am I feeling right now? What she said 😂
This is nothing new. I feel this way every day. Every time my alarm goes off, I just want to ignore it and sleep and sleep and sleep. But no, I have bills to pay and I like to eat.
Besides being tired, right now, I feel like what I am getting ready to do is probably pointless, but what is the alternative? Today is shot day. Today, I will inject a 4 week supply of medication, Kesimpta, into one of my legs. I will then put a taco bandage on the injection site, and it will make me smile. I don’t really know if the medication is slowing down the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) or not. I guess I have to wait and see. Despite the lack of immediate evidence, I feel resigned to utilize this medication as a form of treatment. I love my independence, and I want to keep it as long as possible. As long as I am not experiencing any crazy side effects, I will continue this once every 4 weeks ritual.
I read an article today that highlighted an episode of the MesSy podcast with Christina Applegate and Jamie Lynn Seigler. Christina, who was diagnosed with MS in 2020, was talking about her journey. She said that she has been hospitalized 30 times due to MS!!! How do you live a somewhat normal life when dealing with that? Right now, I am feeling so much gratitude for where I am. And my heart goes out to anyone who is not where I am.
Occasionally, I watch the Angie Martinez IRL podcast. One of the questions she always asks each guest is how are they feeling and she listens for the answer. I’ll be your Angie Martinez. How are you feeling right now? Such a simple question. So you shouldn’t have any issues with answering it 😂. Please feel free to leave a comment. Stay well and whole. Much Love 🧡 💚
