Still in an attack (my first in fact)
Bird -
I'm still in my first exacerbation (the one that brought on the dx of MS in the first place). It's been 6 weeks since dx - and since Dec 22nd since symptoms started. I'm starting my second course of IVSM tomorrow (Saturday). I have been letting my body rest as much as possible - I just don't know that sitting in bed all day every day is good for me (mind or body). I'm going to try to just sit and do nothing except rest this weekend - I had been pretty "active" the last few weekends (not active compared to before this whole thing started - but active enough to where one errand knocks me out). I won't receive the patch until Tuesday anyhow...and I'll try it and see what happens. I do need to be able to function during the day, etc. I'm trying to listen to my body as far as rest is concerned - but it's hard - I'm not used to these limitations (like any of us is until they're imposed upon us)...it's all still new - only been diagnosed for 6 weeks now - so this whole concept of being "sick" is new.
But I'm excited to see if this new med will be helpful for fatigue....maybe it will. 
In the meantime, I just keep telling myself to stay put this weekend and rest....
Stay put and rest...  
Stay put and rest...
Stay put and rest...
Stay put and rest...
