*MegaSpecial = awesome people that have MS/Multiple Sclerosis*
Author: Vix Edwards
I have a passion for nearly all forms of exercise! Most definitely Pilates, the Gym, Weight lifting & studying Yoga.
Unfortunately I am now unable to do these things the ‘normal’ way. I can still do it, but now I have to be sitting down!
My vision is to write a book on how changing your mindset can change your life!
Lover of Photography, Digital art and Blogging
Oh yeah, and I just happen to have Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic pain & Chronic fatigue as well! Which means I exercise in the morning to help manage my pain & then fall asleep in the afternoon!
My aim is to inspire and be inspired, to continue to be strong and continue to be confident!
I may be slow at blogging but that is only due to my MS. As with everything, I'll get there eventually!
Thinking about tomorrows new moon and the adventure becons.
Tomorrow I shall set my intentions and work on my new moon mantra
First time for me to do this but i feel with the life changes that have recently happened in my ms journey, its time to set some intentions in my spiritual path

The joys of an MSr with a lazy bladder! 😕
So, on top of my head cold and chesty cough, I now have my third bladder infection in as many months! I seriously need some probiotics
The blog i started a month ago about this part of my ms is growing!

5:45am and I’ve already been fully awake for an hour and half, to say I #slept much last night would be an #overstatement!
#Coughing, #spluttering, #sneezing, #backfiring, it was all going on! At 2am I thought it was 5am! 4am Deb asked if I wanted a #drink, I declined as I had already decided to move my body to the lounge! Poor Deb needs her #sleep and so I left her in #peace!
Thanks to my #MS, sleep just isn’t working so well lately! I don’t remember the last time I slept past 5am without unbroken sleep, and many trips to the #toilet! More of that coming up in my latest #blog!
If its not my #MSbladder playing up, its a #headcold & a nasty one at that!
#Grittyeyes, #burningfizzingnose, #leakingnose, #razorblades in my throat, #tonsils that feel the size of #golfballs and my #chest is on fire every time I attempt to #cough!
I remember when a #cold was just a cold but now they take a whole new meaning and deserve a name far worse!
Its understandable why they are so much worse for us when our (MSrs) #immunesystem #attacks itself on a daily basis! Its like it has far better things to do than fight off a pesky cold, like attack the protective #coating that covers our #nervefibres, causing signals sent from your #brain through our #bodies to be incorrect!

🔸Never look in the mirror and put yourself down, you see more than others do and less then others as well! You don’t see your own beauty!
🔸Get rid of your scales, they only thing they’re good for is to tell you numbers, they’re rubbish, they don’t tell you the truth: what an incredible, beautiful soul you are!
🔸Never question if your good enough, for anything or anyone! Just know that you are!
🔸Always see the beauty in everything! It is possible!
🔸Know how strong you are! You were given your life because you ARE strong enough!
Its a Pajamas all day and Netflix kinda day!
Thoughts come before action, but this time my body has to come first!
Yoga is teaching me to take better care of myself! Even if it means cancelling favourite classes because I need to reserve my energy!
I always forget that even the tiniest head cold can have major impact when you have a chronic illness where your immune system attacks itself on a daily basis!
Hoping the more I rest, the quicker I can shift this head cold. Woke up this morning feeling like my tonsils have taken over my throat!
Looking forward to my poorly wifey getting home from work so we can netflix and chill together until Tuesday! 😍
This resonates! *Meme shared via Pinterest, words below are my own*
This journey is taking me down some interesting paths, ones that I wouldn’t have had the courage to walk before! My eyes have been opened, its like I can see in the dark, I can see where the monsters hide!
I can see you!
I’m not afraid anymore, I see my way by my own light! Getting ready to spread my wings to show you all where your monsters hide!
I know all these changes in me is because of yoga! Its not just the physical, its the spiritual!

Remembering this today, especially after receiving 2 letters from my neurologist via my GP
The letters are from my latest routine #appointment with #neuro for my #ms review which was back in September.
The letters speak briefly about my MS but mainly about my weight gain
I know this is part of a medical practitioners job but I could have cried whilst reading it!
He says about how we discussed my increase in antidepressant which I also use for pain relief and the possibility of this being a reason for the rapid increase in weight.
Well Mr hoity toity, I’m doing the best I can right now & I’m happy with that!
Looking forward to my lovely Yoga teachers return from her jollies so we can make a start on me being one of her health coach case studies. Shared via pinterest
