"Bobble Head Day" with a side of "G-Force"

Proverbs 17:22
New King James Version (NKJV)
22 A merry heart does good, like medicine,[a]
But a broken spirit dries the bones.


Today and over the last few days I have had a "bobble head" with "G-force" or what I call "pulling G's". It's a weird disconnect feeling between my neck and my head. I think it comes from a combination of a headache, dizziness, ear pressure, low blood pressure, blurry vision & vertigo. The G- force is the feeling that my head is being pulled to the ground. When I lived in Utah, a neighbor and friend taught me about her husband "pulling G's" as an Air Force Jet Pilot. I associate my "pulling" feeling with her description.

The combination of all these weird sensations create my own "unique" symptoms. I have posted on Facebook before about me naming some of my symptoms. I started doing this when my "psychedelic legs" were diagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis back in 2002. Since that time, I have had countless crazy symptoms which have included, and not been limited to, silly string face, bewitched nose, creepy-crawly head & other body parts, my knee strap, tube-sock calves, bubble-wrap feet, (a close friend and I both have had "bubble butt", in more ways than one, lol), hit by a Mack truck fatigue, fumble fingers, brain shudder, airplane ears...the list goes on and on. If you have MS, you probably can add some of your own to the list. There is an endless array of symptoms associated with this disease. They stem from the location of your particular brain and spinal cord lesions (damage). We with MS or any chronic illness, need to keep things in perspective. We have to be able to laugh at ourselves and with each other. If we take our afflictions too seriously, we will never survive. Laughter is great medicine!

The reality of not having control over certain parts of our physical bodies can be both frightening and create anxiety. I get comfort from my friends who not only share in the MS experience, but who place their trust in God, Who will restore us to how He intended us to be, in His perfect timing. My prayer today is that anyone with MS, who may be reading this and feeling alone will come to know that you are NOT alone. I pray that if you don't have anyone in your life to share your MS experience with, that you will reach out to someone today, even if it's just me. We need each other!!!

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
New King James Version (NKJV)

9 Two are better than one,
Because they have a good reward for their labor.
10 For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.
But woe to him who is alone when he falls,
For he has no one to help him up.
