Not being in intense
neurological pain this year on vacation was a gift. I was wishing, hoping, and praying before our
trip that this year we could please just enjoy ourselves--that I would not be relegated to bed most of
the trip or suffering and trying to smile despite how horrible I felt. When you
are in that much pain, time goes so slowly and this vacation went by quickly.
We settled into a routine to help manage my fatigue and sun sensitivity. We could do an activity in the morning and late afternoon, but in the middle of the day I needed to rest and stay inside out of the sun.

I truly felt like a kid
again. Some of my favorite parts of our
time away were just playing pool frisbee with our friends and barbecuing in the evenings. Yes, we
were acting half our age even though we are all in our 30s. And I found myself laughing again, well
really I am a giggler, something that I had been able to do little of just a
year or even 6 months ago.
This post makes me ridiculously happy for you!! I can truly appreciate the value of having a vacation where you are not struggling the entire time to to get a little enjoyment out of it because you are feeling so lousy. Such a blessing!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It was special for both of us and I hope we will have more vacations like it in the future. Your are right -- truly a blessing.
DeleteI've been living with Parkinson’s for several years. When my usual medications started losing their effectiveness, I decided to explore alternative options. I came across a natural approach from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, I was skeptical at first — but after about four months on their herbal program, I started to notice meaningful changes: reduced tremors, less muscle stiffness, and better sleep quality.
ReplyDeleteIt’s not a cure, but for me, it’s been a noticeable improvement in daily life. If you're considering natural or complementary options alongside traditional treatment, this might be something worth checking out: www.naturepathherbalclinic.com.
