Well, this isn't MS related, but it's sure NOT what I needed on top of the pain caused by my MS.

On the part of my head where I get the most nerve pain (neuralgia) I have what i believe to be a cyst forming. Top of the head, to the left side, on the scalp.

It's been getting worse over the week (at first I figured it would be short lived) but it's to a point now where I can't sleep on my left side (pressure from anything gracing it/touching it is too much).

I laid awake a good while last night feeling the pain of it. So now I may have to go to the after hours clinic today to see if I need an antibiotic to try and knock it down, or if they'll have to get me under the blade to remove this sucker (wouldn't be the first cyst I've had to have removed - though the others were on my back/shoulders).

Aren't genetics and heredity fantastic? Thanks Mom for the cysts on head! Sigh... she's had her's operated on over the years with recurrence, so I'm hoping to avoid the blade at this point.

MS isn't so bad today, but isn't so great either. I blame the weather for the increase in pain. It's up and down again, cool/warm/hot, wet/dry, calm/windy.

Yay living on the East Coast.
