      For me it’s been an, oh well kind of thing. What happens will happen. The only thing I can do is to try to improve my own personal well being so chances of these things happening to me is lessened. Embrace pain, be okay with dying. Because when the day comes that it doesn’t happen. You’ll feel so relieved. And so silly. Much love you guys. You’ll make it through.

I went to the doctor and they gave me this nose spray, he said if that didn’t work then we’d schedule an MRI. It seems to have helped but it’s still a problem just not as bad.
