AMN .. may I squeeze in here too??

I'm not where you are, but physically (according to my doctor yesterday) I'm getting weaker on my left side than where I was 6-10 months ago ... and I explained to her that YES, I'm learning to listen to my body on what I can and can't do ...

when I'm out and about - even with friends that know my dx ... they really exclaim "YOU really look good tho!" ... I cringe - I don't (never did) consider myself a good-looking person in any degree (serverely ingrained by my dad while growing up) ... so, now when they say this - I jokingly say to them 'well, thanks - but if you could SEE how and what I'm feeling right now...you'd be running in the other direction and calling MIB!' ...

I've learned to stay home - work on projects and online courses to keep me inspired to reach out to others ... and I'm okay with this ... MS has been good to me - because now I have a doctor's excuse to stay home and work on things that bring me joy .. and not stress!!

thanks for letting me share!!

(sorry ... can't help with the mattress/sheet syndrome you are facing!)
