I think I got attacked by a spider in my bed a couple nights ago. I have 22 bites, most on my left thigh. They do not itch, but hurt! Last night as I was trying to sleep, my left leg started cramping up really badly-- painful spasms every five seconds. No way could I sleep. I didn't know what to do, and finally in desperation I looked through the medicine box and found a xanax prescription from some medical procedure a few years ago that I never took, so I took one with a handful of ibuprofen and finally fell asleep. Ugh. The sheets have since been changed on my bed, so I hope the spider is gone!!

About Me
- Gabrielle
- I am a Christian, a wife, mother, homeschool teacher, perfectionist, night-owl, reader, conservative, photographer, and a lot more. I have 3 boys-- 11 year old twins named Joseph and Brigham, and a 9-year-old named Moses. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2005. I went from a 30-mile-a-week runner to being mostly wheelchair-bound in 2 years. In 2008 I was accepted into the HALT-MS study-- a clinical trial in which I underwent an autologous stem cell transplant (bone marrow transplant) in an attempt to put the disease into remission. So far, I have remained stable for more than four years! I am grateful every day for the new lease on life that God (and modern medicine and awesome doctors, but mostly God :-)) has granted to me, and the chance I have to teach and raise my boys, love my husband, and experience the joy, frustration, happiness, and heartache that life brings.
