Life Is Precious

[Miss Kitty]

Please love your loved ones. Love the strangers in your life.

Several days ago my daughter was rushed to emergency by her doctor. She's been having problems with her nerves etc. Today we learned that she has Multiple Sclerosis; Several tumours in her brain..
She's such a precious and lovely and young woman.
I admit that I've always though we were invincible; our Viking Blood. Well, apparently not.

Please, if you wouldn't mind, send positive love filled vibes to her. She deserves a happy life.
Remember please to cherish your loved ones as well as those who are alone in this world.

Sorry for the rant, just need to get this off my chest.

Anyone with a heart will understand! Miss Kitty I wish you and your daughter all the best.

 

[Ms Erica Phoenix]

I'm so sorry that you and your girl are going through this! My heart goes out to you and to yours.

One battle, and one day at a time.

Even the deepest reaches of darkness, cannot resist a small candle, and a single point of light.

 

[Miss Kitty]

Thank you so much everyone for your kind words. I felt the need to reach out to my community last night and I'm glad I did The support and well wishes I've received mean a lot to me.

This kind of thing is really difficult, but you know you have a community here reaching out to support you.
Never give up hope. Believe that miracles are possible. Live in gratitude for what you have now, and make the most of the present, one step at a time. Celebrate life as it is now, and find joy in the small things. This will all ease the journey you and your daughter are on.

Also, be open minded about the forms of treatment that may help. Go beyond the mainstream and seek advice from those outside, such as in forms of energy healing. Might be controversial to many, but at a fundamental level our bodies are energy. And so healing can happen through forms of energy healing. I'm not dismissing the mainstream conventional medicine, but add to that other forms as well.

God bless you and your daughter

Walk on with hope in your heart,
and you'll never walk alone...

I wish the best to the both of you. MS has touched me and family. I have seen some bad things and some things some consider miraculous but I consider simple logic. I have found that the narrow minded, greedy north American medical system has dropped the ball with MS and many other medical issues.
I'm not interested in sharing my experiences publicly but if you Pm me I'll gladly share my experiences with you. In some cases things can be done.

Best of luck. HUGS, apl16

yes I have to agree
in the last two years five people I know have been touched by cancer, some have not made it others will not.
I have even had a health scare last year.

Something that should be said here, and I know this from personal experience.....You as the caregiver, should put your health in the forefront as well.
Often there is so much focus on the person who is not well, that the person going too all the appoinments, giving care at home, dealing with the paperwork, keeping scheduals in order, dealing with multiple Doctors,making a living and paying the bills, or whatever...Your health, stress, and emotional well being is ignored, or at least put on the backburner for awhile.
You may feel that the focus is on your daughter, and it should be...But you will be taking on a massive stress load as well.
If someone you trust wants too help in some way...Even if it's just cleaning your house, or getting some groceries..Be brave enough to accept it.

Excellent advice...

When I was a lifeguard..the number one rule was..If you think that you will NOT survive the rescue...you didn't attempt it...
But it was your duty to try anything else that may help....

This too will pass.
Be strong Miss Kitty, and you are not alone.

 

[Miss Kitty]

Thank you again for all your kind words and well wishes. And thank you Sybian for reminding me to care for myself too. She is very depressed and is withdrawing from me. It's not a good feeling but all I can do is my best.

Thank you

I have found that the narrow minded, greedy north American medical system has dropped the ball with MS and many other medical issues.

There are good and bad in every profession... plumbers, dentists, lawyers and doctors. I actually know someone quite well who is in the MS research field (proper medical not alternate) and she's in it altruistically and genuinely to help, not for the money.

When dealing with medical doctors, treat it as any other professional. Don't be afraid to question or shop around if you don't like the way things are going or the level of care you are getting. They're not all created equal. Go back to a GP and ask for a new referral if you have to, but don't automatically distrust them because they're professionals. They've dedicated their life to this and put in an extraordinary amount of training that should not to be discounted... It's not automatically all about the money (and for those it is they're more attracted to the US anyway since Canada limits their fees). That's not to say there aren't bad doctors out there -- I've ran into quite a few -- but they are at least regulated, unlike alternative medicines.

It was disheartening when people accused the medical community of suppressing CCSVI for greed. No it was for caution. The greed was in the people who'd gladly take your money to do a risky and unproven treatment, unleashed prematurely, bypassing patient safety protocols, etc. The benefits of CCSVI turned out to be temporary and something of a placebo effect... It was the trip to Mexico (where people would go for the treatment) as much as anything else that provided the therapeutic effect. So if you're going to distrust be sure not to reserve your distrust just for the "medical establishment".

Anyway to Miss Kitty there is support out there. Don't face this alone.

Positive vibes going out to you and your daughter.

I've been in your situation and I know the feeling of helplessness. So much we take for granted, hey?
You're doing all the right things but as said previously: you're not alone and don't forget about yourself.

Best of luck to you both.
