MS Party

In the last couple of days I have been taken down memory lane of MS symptoms. Kind of like an MS reunion party. It's weird and I was prepared for this, but it's weird nonetheless, so I thought I would share them with you.

In the last 24-48hrs I have experienced the following:

- numb face (mostly right side)

- off balance

- shuffling instead of walking (gait)

- unable to stand for long periods of time (having to use a stool in the shower)

- weak arms and legs

- painful legs

- hot hands-

bowel and bladder issues

- abdominal pain

- constriction and pain around the mid section

- blurry vision, pain behind the eyes

- headaches

- what I call "fat fingers" - you know when you can't get your fingers to do what you want... I am fixing a lot of mistakes as I go along with this blog

- exhaustion

- trouble sleeping (weird I know! But it's one of main symptoms for MS'ers - desperately wanting to sleep but can't)

All of these symptoms I deal with or have dealt with over the last few years, but having them all surge in at once, if you're not prepared, could be quite scary. I am actually seeing it as rather interesting and I'm monitoring them as I have an appointment with my neuro tomorrow (he called to check up on me to make sure I survived the weekend!) So, I will let them in to say good bye this time... but next time respect that you're not on the guest list.
