Nandi,I love your writing. I could visualize you in your therapy session.Being a person with a neurological disorder myself(dystonia),its life changing.Due to my condition,my head was locked to the left side for two years.I knew life only from the left side,the right side was an mystery.I was able to find humor in my situation.I f anything happened on the left side when i was out with my family,I was the first to know.I stayed in my house for almost two years,only going out when I had theraphy,or had to see my neurologist.That all changed one day on my way to the doctor’s office.I saw a man swinging his leg and arm in an upward motion simultaneously.This was the only way he could walk.Wow,I thought to myself if he can go out and endure the public stares, I could too.The next day i boldly ventured out into the busy streets of Brooklyn.I felt freedom that was lost due to my condition.I’m glad to report,life on the right side is back!Thank God for Botox,yes Botox.I Receive injections every three months,the Botox allows me to have more mobility.Just wanted to share that with you.

Nandi, I have loved all the posts and wish I had the umphhh to do it when I came here .I stopped after 3 posts. I got lost in research and work. I will have my family read all of your blog so they can understand better life here and prepare them for their return. Please let me help you with your MS. Dr. Rosedale is leaving for 1 month back to the US. There is a lot of help that you are not aware of unless you have worked with Dr. Rosedale. I have witnessed miracles based on science and the biology of aging and not “standard of care.”

Hi Nandi
I am your new best friend. Got led to you via Kim Wayans and I am thankful for that. This is a clear voice that I want to hear from regularly. Would love talk to you about how your travels with your family are opening you up to the question of what’s next. I am curious what you think about authenticity and relevance. would love to have a chat. I think you have a lot to share and probably a gift for expressing it. What do you think?
Patricia

Wow. I know there’s no way you would have actually done yourself in. I wouldn’t have either when I had those same thoughts. You really captured how they sneak up on you though, like any other random musing. In my case I was lying on the edge of the roof of my apartment building on 23rd Street in New York, two doors West of the Chelsea Hotel, in the Fall of 1982. I remember thinking, “If I just roll to the right, all this noise in my head, this nagging clamor of self-negation, this huge, bad tasting lump in my throat, this loneliness and despair, all of it could be over.” That was the thought, and it actually calmed me down. Like you say, it was a little bit comforting. But the NEXT thought was, “Holy shit! I’m thinking about jumping – okay rolling – off a building! I must be really depressed!!” The tension returned to my body, and the noise, but after a couple more minutes, I rolled the other way.
I wouldn’t have done it, but I’ll never forget how the thought itself snuck in there under the radar, and felt, for a little while, like a real solution.
