Default Is this a symptom of MS or side effect?

I have been feeling nauseous for weeks. It hadnt been constant until a few days ago. I'm also so tired that I can barely do anything.

I finally got a call back from my neuro today. Told him that I'm feeling very weak, especially on the right side, and that I have been nauseous constantly for a few weeks. He didnt seem especially concerned.

I have an appointment with him on wednesday. He said he'll do a neuro exam (about freaking time, I've seen him three times since April and not once has he done a neuro exam on me...and I've been in this flare since late april or early may)

I just feel absolutely horrible. My dad (a nurse anesthetist) and my aunt (a nurse practitioner) both think that part of the nausea is from the baclofen I've been taking, and part of it might be from the insomnia I've had.

I think it's coming from the feeling like crap with half my body being numb.

I have spasticity right now, but it hasnt been the horribly painful stuff that I had back in May, but it's been just as uncomfortable. Tonight I pulled out the TENS unit that I stole...errr...borrowed from my mother and that's giving me a bit of relief.

I just want this flare to go away. I'm tired of feeling constantly sick and numb and tired. It's hard to get any rest when it's also causing me insomnia. I feel so bad that I dont even want to play with my new Kindle, or crochet or knit.

I think I'll go get some extra batteries for the TENS unit from upstairs. Then TENS unit kind of hurts, but it feels better than being numb. Guess that's the masochist in me talking.
