Sorry I've been MIA

Hey everyone, I'm sorry I haven't been active in so long....

Mood-wise I'm holding my own, aside from "irritability" when I'm overly tired.

Health-wise I've been better. I've been absolutely exhausted and haven't been able to keep up with things. Fatigue and MS symptoms continue to worsen. Also still dealing with "lady problems."

The wide-spread pain and low-grade fevers returned, so I guess it wasn't the Tysabri after all. I saw my MS neuro last week and I restarted Tysabri and had an MRI that (LONG) day. I hope that I'll at least see some relief from fatigue.

I hope that everyone is doing alright. I'm going to try to catch up.

Thanks to all

We got about 20 inches of snow Wednesday, and they really didn't clean up until yesterday. I was plowed in pretty high on all 4 sides. I really wish my husband moved my car when he left in the morning.
So, I fell, but it was into the snow. I feel I've been hit by a mac truck today, but on the bright side, I'm just bruised and didn't have a serious injury

2 ladies came to help me. One was able to clear the snow away from my door so I could get in and get my scraper and shovel, but she had to get to work. Then, just as I was about to cry, a young lady from upstairs came to help me dig out. It makes me feel good to know that there are good people out there- even if they just offer, or ask if I'm okay. But I feel weak knowing that I need that help now.

Good news for a change!!!

My PT says I'm doing great with my pool exercises

and I can actually feel some hamstring muscles developing

Come Hell or high water, I'm starting land PT Thursday! I hope I see some good results for that as well...
The better shape I get in, the better I'll be able to handle the inevitable increases in disability.

However, I think I'm on my way UP again... Restlessness, racing thoughts.

Hopefully it's just heightened anxiety due to overdrawn checking account (w/ consequences) and TAXES. In the way of BP, I guess I'll find out soon.

P.S. I'm almost caught up on my reading here
