I'm having an exacerbation right now. It's been going on for 1 1/2 weeks. It is a somewhat painful one as I do have the hug something terrible.

Although I have been through the hug many times before, I don't remember it being quite like this. I can deal with some of the physical carp - numbness, spasticity, etc. But this hug has me feeling so, so . . . sick.

Do any of you experience that real sick feeling while in an exacerbation? I do have an appointment with the uro today which is a good thing as my bladder is going nuts. When I was at the neuro's last week they wanted me to get my bladder checked for an infection. Fortunately, I already had this appointment scheduled.

So, do you ever get that feeling? Also, when coming out of the flare do you get that fluctuation of feeling ok and then feeling really sick and then feeling ok . . .?
