Chicken and Shaved Parmesan Salad with our own tomatoes 🍅 😁

My first post here - so, since we grew our own tomatoes this summer, I thought I would share this. We are enjoying some that are diced in with our leftover chicken and parm salad with spinach, fresh pecans, olive oil and fresh lemon juice! These are Cherokee purple heirloom tomatoes and they have a slightly smoky taste. They were late bloomers so we have more coming in! This is my favorite kind of salad; the pecans are from a farm in Texas (Millican) and they’re fantastic! Thanks for letting me share 🙏 Hope everyone is well tonight ❤️

PS: what might look like hair in the salad (upper right) is actually a scratch on my dish. It’s a great dish and I found it second-hand from Goodwill - we all accidentally break too many dishes in this house, lol, to have good dishes.

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is Warrioress1109. I'm here because I'd like to know anyone can offer advice on how to get an appointment with a physician specializing in MS. I've not been diagnosed with MS, nor has it ever been suggested to. I've been suffering with a multitude of increasingly debilitating illnesses and symptoms for over 30 years now. Seen by a long list of specialists. Tests, procedures, medications...targeted to a specific complaint. None of the neurology, rheumatology or ortho specialists have/are taking my comprehensive medical history into account. Which I believe is why existing and new symptoms have gotten worse over the years. In doing research on my own, I found that all of my symptoms & ilnesses have been seen in persons diagnosed with MS - in all or in part. I'd like to find out or rule out MS as a cause.

The bright side of these hot days — a few minutes of daily sun is good

Vitamin D deficiency seems to be tied to worsened MS symptoms, and actually vitamin D deficiency is widespread internationally.

But just 8-10 minutes a day on face and arms gives us what we need (according to UCLA Health and the Royal Osteoporosis Society).

Then cool off indoors with a few frozen grapes out of the freezer. Try it ... you'll thank me later.

For real this time

I can’t believe I am going through with it but I am. I am breaking all my bonds in this world and feel terrible for what I’m about to do but there’s no other possible solution. Not sure when or how but it’s on, and soon, man.

My fiancé and I have had a major blow up today and I am triggered, triggered, triggered. I don’t feel like he is being honest and actually it’s ok. The arguing is over and I can be free, finally.

I’m going to miss the real and only true love of my life and that is my dog, Sam. I have to believe he will be ok. I am praying our souls will remember each other in our next life together because I am determined to seek him out. I feel like we’ve been traveling together for eternity. Surely, we will continue to do so.

I am so happy to have had the opportunity to share my experiences here. More love and acceptance with the Mighty peeps than anywhere else! Much love to you all and please continue to support each other with love and compassion. That’s the only way. Until we meet again ❤️🙏😘 #SuicidalThoughts #PTSD #Depression #Anxiety #Osteoporosis #SpinalStenosis #chronic pain

New group formed for anyone with osteoporosis

#MultipleSclerosis I formed this group for I did not find any for those living with osteoporosis. I called this new group: "Living with Osteoporosis". The goal for this group is like other groups in that it is a space to discuss any and all difficulties with this condition. There are many people who have it and I am among them. Apparently, my case is severe enough to take medication for it. Who out there has had difficulties with this? If so, what are they?#Anxiety #Arthritis #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #CommonVariableImmuneDeficiency #ComplexRegionalPainSyndrome #CoronaryHeartDisease #CrohnsDisease #CheckInWithMe #CheerMeOn #MightyTogether #MyCondition #MultipleSclerosis #MoreDiseases #ChronicIllness #ChronicIllness #Osteoporosis #Other #ChronicObstructivePulmonaryDisease #Fibromyalgia #Endometriosis #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #UlcerativeColitis #RheumatoidArthritis

I want out

I’m tired of trying. Ready to throw in the towel. Getting my will notarized and saying goodbye to this cruel world soon. The suicidal thoughts will never cease. I’ve had them since I was as young as I can remember. And here I am at 55 wanting to just go away, be gone. As trite as it sounds, everyone will be much happier without me.

Good days

I’m proud for making myself go walking alone without my fiancé (he was working) and instead with my dogs only the last two mornings. That’s pretty remarkable considering I don’t have great balance and have fallen several times when walking (I still have drop foot even after lumbar fusion). I logged a mile each day.

I’m also proud for getting up early, getting chickens out and fed, and making breakfast for my fiancé’s son before dropping him off at school. I spent yesterday planting some tea plants, starting some seeds and repotting a couple of other plants. I haven’t been able to do this in years!!!! Natural therapy 😊🌻☀️

Time management, depression, and distraction in addition to physical pain can be difficult for me to cope with. But, I did all of it and am so happy to have given myself these opportunities to grow.

if you want to share your experiences on this post with good days and days that aren’t so good, feel free to do so!

Up & Down

I had a creative and fun day yesterday in making more bases for my herbal products. I worked steadily and took breaks when I felt my body needed it. My fiancé delivered an order for me so I was very happy for his help and the order! I thoroughly enjoyed being in my zone and making things.

However, I am extremely sore and exhausted today. I got up early to help get my fiancé’s son to school, made his breakfast, let the chickens out, and could barely make it through those few things. Everything hurts so much, I am back in bed.

The “not knowing” part of how I am going to feel the next day gets old and it’s disheartening and it’s difficult to overcome the depression that goes with it. I’ve lost time with family and friends, plus, lost time I could have spent on projects or plans because of it.

I know you know what I’m talking about. Just wanted to share this with you today in case it could be helpful to know you’re not in this alone.
