That’s how I’ve been feeling the past few weeks. I just haven’t had the energy or strength to accomplish some of my normal tasks. I wanted to blame it fully on the weather, which I could for some of it. I haven’t eaten that great the past couple of days, certain foods affect my body negatively.. Again, I’m sure some of it goes back to the food too. I just kept hoping to wake up and feel great, but that never happened. I stopped taking a medication referred to as the walking drug. I hadn’t been taking it to walk again, but for other MS symptoms. After spending a chunk of my night out with my head tipped back compounded with how I’ve been feeling I decided to start the medication again, hopefully by Thursday. As Emily said, “It’s affecting your daily life, start taking the medication again”. I’m not giving her credit, she’s a part of Team Beal and has input on my life. She likes to say the line from Beyoncé’s song, “who runs the world… girls!”. I’d like to say she’s wrong, but who are we kidding guys. I’ll check back in after I’ve been back on the medication for a week or so. Until then…
Maintenance
I have been sitting here thinking about the dreams I have and am so thankful to be able to have them as the carrot in front of me driving me onward. I have always been a big dreamer and MS has not stopped that. Letting myself dream is great and I will never stop doing… Continue Reading
So bright
I have talked many times over the years about keeping my head up, pushing forward and things will happen. I don’t know what it was exactly or when it happened, but this disabled guy has felt the change. I just feel like my future is so bright. I never could have imagined feeling this way… Continue Reading
Busy

Almost human
For years I have been dealing with my health. Whether it was searching for an answer, accepting my diagnosis learning to live with my new challenges. This was where my head has been. I used to work a manufacturing job, which I would get a sense of accomplishment from. Fast forward to today I wrote… Continue Reading
So much fun
Yesterday I had the privilege of meeting with a group of highschoolers that read through my book. I had a Q&A session with them. They were so great and their questions were very good and thought provoking. They were all super nice boot. So, to Rohde’s Rascals I want to thank you all for making… Continue Reading
CT
I know this tragedy just happened yesterday, I can’t shake my feelings of despair and anger. I woke up still feeling this way and had to blog my way through it. Last night I watched the hour-long Dateline on this story and my face and heart hurt the whole time. My face ventured from a… Continue Reading
Patience
I wish this was something we were born with and not something we had to cultivate over time. Though it does seem easier the older I get. As I said before I am working on another book. Some days I just wish it would magically be done and others like last night I saw it… Continue Reading
Phew!!
I had a recent post about going to the ER a couple of times for bladder issues. I then have had a few appointments with my urologist. My appointment with him yesterday was a time to check things out down there with a camera. Making sure I didn’t have any real issues. The camera was… Continue Reading
