yeah, I think I know what you mean.

I try to make the best of it, and keep on keepin' on.

I'm Secondary Progressive, and have had MS for 20 years now (first symptoms on Valentine's Day in 1988)

but on days when all my sx crop up at once (double vision, leg cramps, vertigo, balance probs, bladder issues, etc.) it can be hideous.

then, there's the residual stuff from 20 years of flares... I'm numb from stem to sternum, nose to toes, legs buckle, blind on the right, etc. etc.

and so darn tired and fatigued! at this point, I use a cane, and two ankle braces.

I try to plan my days very carefully, 20 minutes of work, then a nap, or rest...

if I have to run errands, the next two or three days I can't do squat.

yeah, it grates on my nerves... but I just go sit by the pond, and absorb the peace and quiet, and it heals my soul.

I had the "chest thing" once, back in 92 or 93... I remember it well... (ARGGGHHH !!)

glad you could join us, and... (wait a sec! didn't I already WELCOME you? DARN this brain fog stuff, lol!)
