I just started getting the neurological pain last week. My lower body went numb last monday. The numbness started creeping up my body last week. Neuro gave me oral pred on friday and that didnt seem to do anything over the weekend to help.

The numbness creeped up my body over the weekend, and now it's about the middle of my chest. The bad neurological pain started friday night/saturday morning and had to have been a bad case of The Hug. Thought it was bad then, but last night it was so much worse.

I ended up stealing my mom's TENS unit and put it on my ribcage and stomach for about an hour and had it set for a pretty high zapping just to taser the giant python that was squeezing me to death. I'd never felt anything that bad. Ended up talking to my neuro this morning, and he's gotten together with my regular doctor and they scored me some IVSM (3 days worth) at the out patient infusion center that I went to last summer.

Right now, the giant python seems to be sleeping, but there's something in my low back causing me a lot of pain. Feels like something laying on my back and stabbing me. Doesnt matter how I sit, and I cant get the TENS on it just right.

My evening got really stressful about an hour ago too. Our houseguests got back from wherever they've been all day, and they promptly overflowed the toilet. (blamed it on my mom...this toilet isnt supposed to be overflowable...it's the kind that sucks down 18 ping pong balls)

So, now there's water leaking into my basement...(storeroom side of the basement at least) and my bathroom down here in the basement has become the public toilet for the house. (no one wants to go in my dad's bedroom and risk waking him to get to the toilet in there)

I'm already irritated that we have 3 extra people in the house for at least the next month. It's really stressful that they're now going to be intruding on my privacy while I'm sick with MS crud. (my dad promised that no one would bother me. I know it's not his fault...this week just keeps getting suckier tho)

I'm just waiting for the house to catch fire, because that's probably the only way things will get worse.

Oh wait...things feel like they're getting worse. Neurological itching in my left hand (hand that's been numb since last fall) I'm calling about some Lyrica tomorrow. I had a Rx for it, but it expired. I never filled it because it cost over $100. I think I'll splurge tomorrow if I can get my neuro or my regular doctor to Rx it to me again.

I'm going to go attempt to sleep. The infusion center is supposed to call me in the morning to tell me when my IVSM is scheduled. (could possibly be tomorrow, probably will be wednesday)
