I am going to talk about depression and anxiety which are two Multiple Sclerosis symptoms that have be living with for the past couple of years. Growing up never had an issue with anxiety and what issue I did have with depression I was able to control and I didn’t have to take medication for it.
About two years ago I had to get on medication for depression because I literally could barely function at work and I was always on edge. After I started the medication it helped but I noticed I could no longer handle things that I used to love to do.
For example I have always loved being alone. My grandparents went on a cruise for 10 days last month and I was so anxious because I was home alone most of the time. The day after they left I literally sat in my room because I was so anxious. I also found myself checking the door locks a hundred times where as when they are home I never check them unless I have to get up and let one of the cats in.
I believe that in my case my depression and anxiety are cause by the MS. I know that not everyone with MS will have both of these symptoms and that some people who have these symptoms but not have MS.
Before I started on Tysabri when I would have MRI’s to check and see what the disease was doing I always had active lesions but I rarely had any symptoms. I believe that while I at the time didn’t show any outward symptoms that those active lesions are what caused my anxiety and depression issues that I currently struggle with.
Right now I take Zoloft for the depression and I don’t treat the anxiety because I have learned how to talk myself through it. I also have found that removing myself from the situation that is causing the anxiety is a great way for me to cope with it as well.
I received the book called “It’s Not All in Your Head: Anxiety, Depression, Mood Swings, and Multiple Sclerosis” by Patricia Farrell. I can’t remember the site where I was signed up and got the book for free but from the little bit of it that I have read it can’t wait to read more of it.
I would recommend the book to anyone with MS or anyone that has a family member or friend with MS. Once I am finished with it I will for sure write a review and I think I will give it away to someone with MS.
In the end I want people to know that is you have developed anxiety or depression that you aren’t alone and don’t be afraid to ask for help. At first it was hard for me to ask the doctor about it and start the medication but the more I learn about MS and what it can cause I understand why I have had to go on medication.

Also here are 2 videos I took of the girls as well.

First I want to say happy Mothers Day to everyone. This weeks quote comes from one of the birth mother groups I belong to. The next few weeks quotes will also be from them.

I know that most of you know that I design blogs but I don’t think that many of you know that I love to scrapbook. I love buying the paper and finding stickers it is all so relaxing to me. Funny thing is that I can’t stand to digital scrapbook even though I am doing just that on a daily basis for clients.
Anyway back to the point of this post. I was sent Tombow adhesive glue to review and the funny thing is when I went and got all of my supplies and started to work on the vacation that my family and I took last year this was the same glue that I had bought with my own money. After I realized that I knew with out a doubt that I already love using it.
The one thing that I love the most about it is that it has refills so you don’t have to keep buying a whole new thing each time you run out. I am all for reusing products and I love that I can keep using it and just buy the refills.
You can use this for other sorts of crafts as well. I really recommend this to anyone who likes to craft and is looking for a use to use glue that is pretty much mess fear and it is easy enough that kids could use it as well.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2012 Margaret Margaret I was going to post about how MS has effected my depression and anxiety but you may remember that once a month I have my MS treatment and I had it on Friday afternoon and I have had a rough weekend. I am usually okay with the treatments and it doesn’t phase me at all. I think this past one was just the perfect storm to make it hard to get going again. I am going to post a few reviews this week and hopefully I will be back in the swing of things next week!
In this fast-paced follow-up to Wendy L. Young’s debut novel, Come the Shadows, the mystery deepens…
Will and Laura Harmon are trying to get on with their lives but are left reeling when a vicious hit-and-run sends Laura to the hospital. With all the recent changes in Campbell Creek Will has a long list of suspects – and few leads.
One thing is clear: Someone wants Laura dead and Will has to stop them in time.
But who from Campbell Creek’s shadowy past is behind the threats on Laura’s life and can Will figure out the mystery before tragedy strikes again?
This the 2nd book in the series and once again I couldn’t put it down. She has made her characters so real that I am sad that there is only one more book after this one. She writes in a way that makes my want to keep reading because I have to know how it ends. This is a great book and I know if you like mysteries that you will love this one!
Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2012 Margaret Margaret This post is late today because I have been so sick this weekend that I haven’t had the energy to work or even type up a blog post. I saw this post on one of the sites I use to find books to read and I really like it. Let me know what you think
