I am writing to report with abundant thanksgiving that I feel the best I’ve felt since I was diagnosed with MS in June of 2015! This is the week before my monthly infusion (I will go for it tomorrow), and I am not a total emotional and physical mess. Typically, this week would have already entailed a great deal of crying—over the happy, sad and in between, as well as a total lack of energy.
But today, I had energy! I played outside with my kiddos and enjoyed soaking in God’s beautiful creation. When I pause to think how long it’s been since I’ve felt any amount of energy for an extended period of time, I’m overwhelmed by what our bodies can take and the toll it can take in other areas of our lives.
I forgot what I was missing.
What it feels like to not always pretend to feel well.
I am going to report to you in a series of blogs (look for Grace Part II coming soon…) about some of the ways I’ve grown and seen God’s grace over this past year, and more particularly, recently.
I ask that you might pray for my MRI coming up next Monday, October 10th. This will be to determine the effectiveness of the “new” medication (going on 8 months now) and will give us some indication of where to go or not go from here.
My most immediate praise would be the change in weather (i.e. no humidity!!!). The summer heat can have (and did have!) a major impact on symptoms, and I am so thankful for the fall to finally have arrived!
