One of my friends called me today and it was a challenge to stay on the phone as long as I did. You'd think I'd love telephone calls......don't have to leave the house to have them; can wear whatever I want; can lay on the bed if I want to. Nope......even holding the telephone for an extended period of time wears me out. And having to pay attention to what the other is saying.....and remember things I'm asked about......it just wipes me out. And she's constantly asking 20 questions about everything so it's doubly exhausting. Sometimes when she calls I just don't answer because I know what's waiting for me on the other end! She doesn't have MS so I can't expect her to know how it is. It's just hard to explain how just talking on the phone can be so tiring without sounding like I'm......whining!!
