Are you pregnant or thinking about pregnancy?

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of CryoCell International. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

Hey friends!!  I found this extremely interesting site that tells you about preserving your newborn's umbilical cord blood for potential use against many diseases. it is quite interesting. Also if you go to their site and learn more you get a FREE BELLY BAG!!

Not only that, did you know that cord blood stem cells have already been used to treat more than 75 diseases!!  That is incredible! And it is a safe procedure with no harm to the baby or mom.  There also is no cost to retrieve your baby’s stored stem cells if they are needed for transplant.

Wouldn't you like to know that you have some kind of safety if your child or possible their sibling turn ill?  To me that is very important.  I have Multiple Sclerosis and there is cancer in my family, among other problems. So doing this is a must for me. Cells taken from your newborn are a perfect match for your baby for his or her lifetime!!

But don't just listen to me guys, go to www.Cryo-Cell.com www.Cryo-Cell.net and 

 look at the web site, ask for information and get your free belly bag!!  I did!!

You have nothing to lose and a heck of a lot to gain!!

 

Thank you as always for listening!!

Another Day

Well, today is another day!!
I am siting here and it is raining and thundering out!! I just got done watching Joyce Meyer.  If you have never seen her preach, you need to!!
She is a wonderful person and her ministry is awesome!!
Oh, did I tell you that I have been saved?  Yes...I am a Christian!!
I was saved shortly after I was diagnosed with MS. It was the best thing that could ever happen to me!!
I know you are probably thinking that I must be a religious freak, but I am not!! I am a normal person just like you but I believe in GOD!!
God has saved my life, literally!!
I use to go through times of depression.  I use to cry all the time and have pity parties.
I have even attempted suicide twice!! And both times GOD saved me!! The last time I should have died!!
I'll tell you about it, in case there is someone out there reading this...you need to know that you are NOT alone!!
I was going through a horrible divorce. I did not want to end my marriage but my husband at the time did.
So I was depressed and drinking. And we all know those two do NOT go together at all!!
Anyways, I drank too much and was all sad and got into a fight with a friend. So I thought I would pop a bunch of pills and end it. (How dumb is that!)
At this time no one at all knew where I lived. No one!! I just moved in with these strange two guys. I had my own room, they were nice, but I did not know them. Actually I don't even remember their names.
So I cried out and told my friend Jane what I did and said good bye.
She called the police and they went searching for me.  All I remember is going to sleep in my bed feeling sick from the pills I ingested.  Next thing I remember is that I am barely alert and there is an EMT hooking me up to an IV and loading me into the ambulance.
How was I found? No one knew where I was living!! The nurse at the hospital said they found me unconcious and barely breathing. That I was lucky to be alive!!
Well, I know know that luck had nothing to do with it. It was all God!!
To this day I still do not know how they found me and no one I have asked has an answer.
So you tell me there is no God and I say bull!!  I am living proof there is a God!!

If you are depressed and you stumble across this blog, email me.
I want to help you. We can chat, talk or you can just vent.
I understand!! I have been through it and lived!!

I love you and most importantly, GOD LOVES YOU!!

Jennifer

Rebif

So I found out why my Rebif DDMD was not working.  LOL!
I had an abundance of Rebif.  Before I had Medicare I had Medicaid Share of Cost.
In order to get my medications for free I have to meet a certain $ amount. With that in mind Medicaid
kept sending me Rebif. So I have like 20 boxes of Rebif that I have been using. Well, they are expired!!
I really did not think much of it until my MRI came back with enhanced lesions.
I then asked MS Life Lines if the expired Rebif could be because of it.
And yes!! Do not use expired medicine no matter what it is!!
It loses potency and actually MS Lifelines nurse said they really don't know what
the Rebif does once expired.
How silly am I??
Well, I now have to get rid of all the extra Rebif I have. I was using it and keeping them because this medicine is so expensive and I was scared that one day I won't be able to get it. You just never know with insurance!!
Anyways, just wanted to let you all know my itty bitty mistake!!  LOL!!

Love you!!

My Multiple Sclerosis

HI. I thought I would create a new blog about My Multiple Sclerosis and My Life. (Since the other one is not working)

I was diagnosed with Relapse Remitting Multiple Sclerosis in 2005.
It was the hardest time of my life.
I have never been so alone!!


I was having headaches and my tongue was numb and I thought I was coming down with Bell's Palsy again.  So my so called boyfriend at the time was working, so he said, and I drove myself to the hospital.
After testing, a nurse telling me they thought I had cancer, the drugs they gave me that looped me up, and some girl calling my phone and telling me my boyfriend was cheating and lying to me....I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

Mind you, I had no clue what MS was at all.  And the way they explain it to you in the hospital, I was scared to death!!
I had no health insurance. I had no clue how I was going to pay a hospital bill and the drugs needed to control this disease. My now ex boyfriend was still living at my apartment bringing home girls, which to this day he denies, but I have witnesses. And I still drugged up and scared.  My mom lives in Ocala which is about 3 hours from Winter Park where I lived. So I was in the hospital all alone.

My mom did end up coming and staying with me for a week when I was finally discharged from the hospital.

Wow..this is long!!
Well just to say that it has been a struggle. First being on the Disease Modifying Drug Copaxone, that did not work for me but kept sending ne to the hospital with relapse after relapse. I finally after a year found a DDMD called Rebif.
I will tell you how I found this DDMD in my next blog.
But I am finally doing well and happy.

Ok, well this is enough. I am tired. I will write about my adventure to Rebif in my next blog.

Have a great night!!

Oh, and anyone that can relate, by all means, comment!!
