Im the same way. I want to stay home. Can't stand going out. People irritate me anymore. Ive got about a good 20 plus yrs on you, but I hate all the snide remarks I get when I reach for that motor cart just so I can make it thru the store. I beg my dh to just let me stay home. Im hurting and really just don't feel like going out.
He MAKES me go out kicking and screaming, but once we get out there and I feel the breeze and we're driving and I see the surroundings, I suddenly become thankful for his persistence. By the time we get back, I am in more pain then before we started, Im tearing thru the house as much as a person with a walker can tear thru a house, but I am looking for my meds and hitting the bed like a bomb. But you know what, it was worth it.
He doesn't do it a lot, but just enough to let me know that, hey, Im not dead yet and I CAN still move around. Move around while you still can, because one day, you may loose it. That's my fear. Im not here to scare ya, but by now you know, MS is very unpredictable. Use it before you lose it.
