Tightness in legs and back that occasionally will lock up and cause agonizing pain...otherwise, tightness and an achiness. Think of being on a rack and having someone stick a blazing hot poker in your muscles at the same time they're stretched to a painful place...
cognitive problems that are increasing...makes me sad...think of the foginess when doing math you just don't get...and when you have a black out during a test...that's my brain function.
Bladder probs...it's a race between my 87 yr. old MIL and me to who needs to get to the bathroom quicker...and bowel problems too...which are disgusting...
Neuropathic pain that takes my breath away...put a short-wired lamp in your hand, turn it on and leave your hand on it while it sends electricity into your hand.
And fatigue...I hate it when I say I've got MS fatigue issues going on, and someone says, "I know how you feel...I've been exhausted."
No, you don't know how I feel...it's the most bone-crushing, noodle-legged feeling in the world. When I fall asleep at the dinner table, my kids know I'm MS fatigued and send me to bed.

Heat-no, it's not just I'm sweating...I see the sidewalk turn on a 90 degree angle...my vision goes darker so it seems that someone just left the shade up a crack to leave shadows...I feel like my legs are wet noodles...and everything seems "not right".

Stupid disease...
