I am Also ‘Well Aware’!!!

I read this article today and it has really affected me! I couldn’t figure out how to just place the article on here but I think you can get there if you touch the text below:

So I gasped when I read this part of the article:


In this part of the article is a good segue for what’s going on with me:

I am also well aware of the havoc that MS has reeked on my body for 21+ years! However, my body is reacting a little differently for right now. I’m really not comfortable talking about it but I think that it started in October 2021 or at least where I could notice it.

I think it was in October 2021 where I had my swallow test with my current Speech Pathologist. She asked me that day if I had lost weight without trying. I didn’t really think about what she said. I just said, “There’s always weight to lose but I think I have. I wear a size medium now when I used to be an extra large.”

But now, I no longer chew anything. My diet has become very restricted because the muscles in my jaw are not working. So, I am losing weight but it is NOT comfortable at all!!!
