CCSVI and the emotional journey

I made this video about a week ago before going to Virginia to meet Dr. Lee (I will talk about this in a future video). Recently, I have been having some problems making a video that I would feel comfortable posting and it took me a long time to create it because my cognitive problems are very challenging at times. Finally, after I tried a couple of times and I repeated what I wanted to say many times, I was able to come up with this video where I open myself up and explain why these past few months have been very difficult for me.
I would like to thank Christian, a young Italian man that doesn't have MS, not knowing what I was feeling, wrote me a very encouraging message that pushed me to try making another video...This is the result of his supporting words...

@laurenvparrott Thank you, cara Lauren! I haven't heard from you in such a long time and I have missed you but I am having trouble keeping up with everyone lately because of time issues!

I am getting ready to go back to my homeland very soon and I am really excited and happy to see everyone I love and miss! I just can't wait!

I hope I'll do a video before I go...I have some news that I should share with you and with the other friends.

I hope you are having a nice summer!

Tanti baci

Thank you, Lauren. We have to catch up and write to each other again as soon as I get back to the States. Maybe, my life will go back to normal after my trip back to my country. I need to relax a bit and I hope to bring my lifestyle back here so I can feel better :)

Thank you for showing me that you remember the Italian words that I used to write to you! You are doing very well e sei brava! :)

Un abbraccio,

Angela

I have found that writing stories, poems, lyrics, etc, can help with cognitive problems. I know it is different than verbal communication but I found it seems to help me. Thinking about things to write and actually doing it and then editing it afterwards also helps. And doing this with written words might even help when it comes to thinking with the verbal ones. I also find myself singing along with music and trying to remember the lyrics of the songs as I sing.

@notapplicable66 Dear Gladiator,

it's so nice to find you here!

I used to keep a diary that I used to write by hand and I did find it very relaxing and helpful. Then my life got too busy (are you ever relaxed in this part of the world???) and I didn't have time for my diary any more and then MS came and it was it. I keep an MS diary now but it's not the same...

I believe in what you are saying and I agree with you. I love reading your songs and I love the fact that you sing them! :)

Ciao!

@sandyCanada56 Dear Sandy,

yes, I am quite exausted, I have to admit! Having MS and being an MS activist is a full time job! :) It is tirering but it's also a wonderful journey and it's quite fulfilling and I believe in what I do so much that everything comes so natural to me!

Thanks for the comment and for being understanding.

Have a nice rest of the day!

Ciao!

Angela
