I think this is the most frustrating part of this whole disease. I can never rely on myself or my own judgment.

I might feel good on Monday and plan to go to lunch with a friend on Thursday. Then Thursday comes along and my feet are numb, my balance is way off and being on my feet for too long becomes painful. I feel like my friends think I use my MS as a convenient way to back out of commitments easily. Nothing could be further from the truth. But the more I try to explain myself the worse I look. Sometimes I think becoming a hermit might just be the best solution.
