Many symptoms act up when I'm stressed. It takes a lot of cognitive therapy to change one's thinking patterns. I'm still not in control. Part of that is the MS, of course

Can I have the big gentle hugs delivered by a good looking guy with good massage hands who will bring me chocolate and will change the dvd's in my dvd player for me without complaining whenever I want to watch something on my tv.


I just need a personal masseuse on permanent retainer.

I totally believe that the stress of knowing our house guests were coming was what set this off.

I was told earlier that they're going to be here for potentially another 3 or 4 weeks, and I swear that hearing that made my skin go more numb and made me feel so much more icky and MSish.

I just discovered something. I was trying to dry a bra so that I'll have something to wear later, and it cant be dried in the dryer, so I was using a hair dryer on it to give it a head start...I discovered that cool air from a hair dryer blowing across numb skin feels really really good.

Now if I could just figure out something that feels good on feet that are screaming because the spasticity is making my toes curl. I had an ice pack last night, but sometimes it was too cold.

If I wasnt so tired right now, and my feet werent too numb to drive, I'd go up to walmart and buy myself some new sweatpants or some pajama shorts that are too big for me...and some t-shirts that are a lot bigger so that I'd feel more comfortable. Clothing is driving me nuts!

I'm falling asleep right now, so I think I should just give in to that, since it might be the only way for me to get some sleep tonight...do it when it happens, rather than trying to sleep later on at the usual time.

Stress does not help at all. Good luck sweetie, I hope it passes soon.

I'm trying to knit or crochet to relax. I'm so bored right now. I keep falling asleep (sleep is good!) But, I want something to do other than watch tv.

I'm going to try to make some little teddy bear stuffed animals. They're easy and mindless. My niece should like a couple.

I'm just BORED!

and being one big pile of spasticity is really irritating. I dont know when to take the neurontin or baclofen and which will help when. I know neurontin is for neurological pain, I just dont know when to take it. The baclofen I've been trying to take at night like I usually do.

Feel better, Erin.

BTW, I think you want a masseur, not a masseuse. Maybe you'll get one for your b-day!

ok, brain fogged. What's the difference?

I cant wait for this flare to be over. I tried to crochet something and my brain locked up and kept screwing me up. Now I have to frog (rip) the project out and start something new.
