I'm not on Copaxone, but I am struggling to lose weight. I was really getting going with exercise and doing great, then my MS decided that wasn't okay and had to join the party. Now I'm trying to stay active at least some without pushing myself too hard! I wish I had advice for you, all I can offer is understanding and…

My husband pulling the covers off of me to cool me down. Then a few minutes later him helping me to sit up, holds me for a minute, then lifts me to standing and holds on until I have my balance. This becomes very difficult when his back is hurting.

Wow wow wow! That was wonderfully amazing!

I think last year was my favorite. I went as a pin-up girl. Did my hair in victory rolls and everything. The picture is in my profile.

I have not been there and cannot offer any advice, but I wanted to say I'm so sorry! I have friends who have been through it but never myself. I know nothing I can say will make this better but I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am.

http://potassiumrichfoods.com/potassium-rich-foods-list/ This site has a good start on a list! I have to keep my levels up because of HypoKalemic (low potassium) Periodic Paralysis. You can make a smoothie with spinach and strawberries, it tastes great. I use 2 cups spinach, 1 cup strawberries, and 2 tablespoons honey. I…

I have been through a divorce. Fortunately I didn't have kids then. I'm sorry you're going through this. Now, to answer your question... Yes I believe in true love. A love that even when you're pissed at each other, you know all will be well because you truly love each other. Love that when there is no money to pay bills,…

I used to be the same way, it was so horrible!!! Then someone told me about raspberry leaf tea (or I read about it, can't remember which lol), it is so great. Not only does it help with my cravings, but other issues as well. I drink one tea bag worth (about 3 cups brewed) every day. I know this comes across as a sales…

It could be the chap stick it's self. I can't use any anymore. I get a cold sore from a brand new tube of every kind I try! Also if it's not the chap stick and you can use it, do you apply it with your finger instead of straight from the tube? That way if you have one that for whatever reason you haven't noticed is coming…

Depending on where you are it can be a forever battle. You have to keep up on making sure there is nothing they can get, water is a big one! We lived somewhere once that had a horrible problem, we had to dry out the sinks every time we used them! There was something they sprinkled around the building every so often that…

I don't think I really want mine because of hitting my goal weight (wanted it before I started really trying to lose weight), but it would be good for that as well. I want each of my kids' baby foot prints with their full names and birth dates and possibly something to make it more decorative on my right thigh. I have a…

No joke!!! I'm allergic to pineapple (my favorite fresh fruit!) and latex, but I don't have a reaction to bananas that I know of, I honestly don't eat them often enough or don't pay attention enough (sick all the time anyway) to tell. My aunt is allergic to them, she is allergic to most things though :( My weirdest…

Raspberry leaf tea or Raspberry Zinger tea. I drink one tea bag of this in a day and it kills the pms cravings for me! It also helps with the cramps!

Any time!

2 cups frozen spinach 1 cup frozen strawberries 2 Tablespoons honey enough water to get to proper consistency When I first saw this recipe I thought gross! But I was trying to get my potassium levels up so I tried it.... Not only do I love it, but both of my kids, who are picky eaters, love it. It comes out almost brown…

Raise my children to be good people. See the joys they will have in their lives. Truly enjoy what I have with my amazing husband and wonderful kids! Make a photo quilt for as many family members as possible.

That ranch crispy chicken is AMAZING my family loves it!
-
Oh I forgot, I have found a recipe for taco/fajita seasoning (I use the same recipe for both because the taco seasoning tears up my hubby's stomach) that is so good, I will never buy store bought mix again! Let me know if you want that one.

When blending hot soup, only fill the blender half full and use a thick towel to hold on the lid! I was talking to the kids and not thinking the first time I did and burnt the crap out of my hand! Some tips to read my recipes, C = cup, T = tablespoon, t = teaspoon Campfire potatoes: Ingredients 10 potatoes, thinly sliced 1…

Try using Torani flavorings (sugar free) and a tablespoon or two of fat free half and half! I love to use one tablespoon SF white chocolate and one teaspoon SF raspberry with about two tablespoons of fat free half and half for two cups of coffee (I have big mugs so they hold about two cups of coffee each) You will have to…

This was soooo good! I made it last night, I couldn't get rotel so I just used diced tomatoes no salt added. It turned out amazing!

How scary! My kids terrify me too! My son gets febrile seizures, is mildly allergic to the sun and has had acid reflux from birth that was found when he started spitting up blood. My daughter has had strep four times in as many months and is going in for a tonsillectomy on the third, this absolutely terrifies me! She had…

A big spoonful of peanut butter with sugar on it! My Mom could never keep peanut butter in the house lol.

I had all four of mine out when I was 20, I do not remember almost anything from the actual appointment ;) I had some pain and quite a bit of swelling after but it was easily controlled with pain meds and rest. The only thing I can say is try to be in a car with child locks on the ride home! I just about gave my husband a…

First, they are not you, they can not say your fears are irrational! The are rational to you! Second, I am horribly afraid of heights. I get one step up on a step ladder and my knees are trembling. I'm only 5"2" and God made me short for a reason! That way I'm close to the ground! Spiders or any bug are another one.…

Congrats! Those are amazing NSVs! I love it when my hubby notices differences in my weight and figure!

If you aren't supposed to let your heart rate get above a number that's lower than a normal person could for a workout you could get a heart rate monitor and watch it close. I am on beta blockers, but I don't keep my heart rate down like I should (I know I'm horrible). There is nothing wrong with my heart though, it just…
