Happy New Year.......I think. I thought I was just having a few rough MS days but this is a full fledged MS flare up. And I believe it was triggered by a UTI.

Spasticity is through the roof so my balance is also affected. I've been taking Baclofen and while it helps it also makes me sort of loopy and slows me down even more. Not that I need to do anything in a rush it's just such an obvious side effect.

I really want to feel better. And I know things could be so much worse. I try hard not to complain because I know there are others with much more severe ailments.

I'm hesitating contacting my neurologist because I know there's not anything he can do. I probably will just so my medical records can be documented.

So......the year begins a little slower than I had planned but things will get better. I try to remember all the things I have to be thankful for......and that's a lot. I'm going to take advantage of being able to rest and recooperate now so I can enjoy my little grandbabies as they grow up and become more mobile.

It seems like there are several of us here that are having a rough start to 2015. I hope everyone gets better soon.
