Hot Flash Symptoms and Multiple Sclerosis

Hot Flash Symptoms and Multiple Sclerosis

Comments 2 comments

I had physical therapy in the morning. I didn’t do everyone of my exercises but I did all of my hard ones. My therapist and I cut it short because I actually started overheating. My cheeks turn red is my first sign. I start becoming warm even though I may or may not be doing much and then I start sweating. With that my MS symptoms get worse. This is why I rarely wear blush on my cheeks because I’d…

Falling again all week

Falling again all week

Comments 4 comments

I’ve been really good lately. Especially since I switched to my wheelchair outside my condo. I went from falling almost daily to a couple of times in a month. That’s a big difference. It goes to show you how much the walking was really causing me to just exhausted myself. Yes I needed the van to make my life easier but I also needed to admit to myself the time has come and I really couldn’t walk anymore. It was…

Fatigue is never easy

Fatigue is never easy

The heat, the heat is here and it is not making life an easier. I played mahjong and I could barely hold myself upright by the end of the game and I was in AC. The heat finds it way into your bones and still manages to fatigue you regardless of where you are. I came home and collapsed. I was in bed by 9 and slept through the night until 4. I’m exhausted still. I sleep I’m exhausted, I…

It took me a long time to recover yesterday after swimming Back in the pool. I knew it would but my recovery time keeps getting longer and longer. I’m not looking forward to the day I don’t recover because I’m not planning on ever stopping exercising. I might have had to revise it drastically but I still do something to help myself move at least 30 minutes 5 days a week. Unfortunately the rest of the time I’m quite sedentary….

Back in the pool

Back in the pool

Comments 2 comments

I went swimming this morning for the first time in months. It isn’t that I don’t love swimming, because I do. It is difficult to shower and change and do my hair etc. It takes a lot of energy to do all those things and I deplete most of my energy in the pool. Today I knew I wasn’t doing anything other than the pool so I knew it would be a good day. I swam 52 minutes and 58…

Spasticity and headaches

Spasticity and headaches

Comments 1 comment

My headache has finally broke. I had it for three days this time. I thank modern medicine for keeping it quiet and letting me function. This time without a doubt it was caused by my spasticity. I felt the all too familiar feeling hit me on Saturday. I woke up and my entire back was in a tight knot. The one I describe like a spaghetti fork. It feels like someone took all my tendons and twisted them onto a…

The Boston Market down the block

The Boston Market down the block

Comments 0 Comment

Right down the road from where I live now is a Boston Market. This restaurant has significant markers to the history of my multiple sclerosis. It was this restaurant that I was promoted to general manager. It was here when I was on the phone with my mother when she asked me how my eyes were. The question was about my optic neuritis which wasn’t diagnosed at that time. That was later figured out after my diagnosis. I remember when…

Backdoor chute muscles missing signals

Backdoor chute muscles missing signals

Comments 0 Comment

I haven’t blogged about it but I’ve had serious back door chute issues this week. It seems the door is open and people come through unexpected or it stays closed and I can’t get them out. I went weeks with it open and now I went the complete opposite. My stomach was so bloated causing physical pain. It was great for my diet because I couldn’t over eat if I wanted too. My stomach could only hold so much food….
