The Melting Mind of Multiple Sclerosis

My name is Beau Everette. I am in my early 30’s.

I am a proud father and have a beautiful wife.

I also have a severe case of Multiple Sclerosis and Chronic Pain. I have suffered from the Chronic Pain for over 9 years, I have had to endure the MS for what my doctors believe to be a lot longer.

As far as the MS goes, I have been on three different medicines at separate times. I have been on Copaxone, Rebif, and am now taking monthly infusions of Tysabri. Expect to hear me complaining about how bad I feel a couple days prior to my infusions every month.

As far as the Chronic Pain goes, I have been on almost every pain medicine you can think of. Pills, nerve injections, acupuncture, a chiropractor and therapists. I once had a doctor prescribe me Methadone, Morphine and Percocet,  all at the same time. I was seriously made into a zombie.

For the record I hate pills, I hate drugs in general.

But as far as why I am creating a blog instead of just pouring my thoughts out onto Facebook.

1. I want to write about how I feel daily or at least as often as possible. I think if I write about how I feel it will give me some kind of release. My MS is crippling my hands so I can no longer play video games, which before was my one true way to take my mind off of my pain. Now I can no longer use a mouse & keyboard to play because my hands freeze up, go stiff, and hurt extremely bad. I can no longer use a game controller either because it hurts to stay in a cramped position for any length of time. So now I hope to write, read, listen to music and look at art and videos that make me happy.
2. I want to look at other blogs and communicate with other bloggers that share my problems. In doing so I will report what I find in hopes that I can help the community.
3. I hope to shed some light on some well deserved, yet very underground artists and musicians. In doing so I will post a picture or two of an artist’s, or a musician’s music video along with a few words on how I feel about them. I will also post links to their pages where you can find more of their work.
4. Last but not least. In making this blog even if no one else reads it, it will allow me to break a anxiety barrier that having such a painful life and not being able to leave the house much to socialize has created. Therefore attempting to reverse inversion.

You can get a hold of me either by leaving a comment, facebook or gmail.
