I've actually been exercising more, and I have quit taking naps in the afternoon when I can. (there are times when I will fall asleep while watching tv with my parents in the evening)

I've attempted to go to bed at the same time every night, and I just end up laying there, staring at the ceiling.

Sometimes, I do have a bit of success at falling asleep if I set my computer to electronically read a story to me. (computerized voices speaking in the background seem to bore me enough that I sleep) I'll end up falling asleep inside of 20 minutes if I have the right boring story and the right droning pitch of a computerized voice.

The past couple of weeks have been weird, I've been feeling a lot of anxiety. I dont know where it's coming from tho. I dont have anything stressful in my life right now, other than when I had the double vision. It was kind of strange, I had anxiety going on just before the double vision hit.

Hopefully the anxious feeling that I've had the past couple of weeks isnt a kind of early warning system that some MS crap is about to hit again.

altho, it would be nice to have an early warning system that would warn me something's coming...altho I'd like a more specific warning of where the MS crap is going to strike rather than be surprised by it when I wake up in the mornings.


One good thing about the steroids last month...I can feel my body again. Yaaaaaaay! The double vision is still kind of here if I'm tired, or in the wrong kind of light, but it's no longer constant. My back pain has also improved. (low back pain, wake up with it some mornings and just standing makes me want to scream)

I'm getting tired of the insomnia, but I guess there are even worse side effects to the steroids than insomnia. At least I can see a lot more clearly again. So, I traded good sleep for good vision.
