Default It is my turn to whine!

I am so tired that I want to cry. Screaming would take too much energy. I am also a bit dizzy (fell into a wall at school today), experiencing occasional blurriness in one eye, spasticity is worse, and my knees hurt like ______ (fill in the blank). I am also feeling very sorry for myself. Yesterday was the two year anniversary of my dx. I spent most of the day in bed.

I am starting pt on Friday so I hope that will help with spasticity issue. I experienced nausea with the voltaren gel so I stopped taking it. I may try it again tomorrow to see if that was the cause.

Okay -- I am almost done whining. I am also really, really tired of college students. Okay, does anyone else need a turn?

I am sorry you feeling as you are, this spasticity is new to me, at least the last all day stuff is new to me. Used to be just a early morning thing, hugsssss for the pain.

Just lots of hugs, and I know the feeling of tears coming. This stuff can just bring ya down. But let the tears flow then get back to that smile!! hugssss,sarah

We all need our turn at whining! It's well deserved. I'm sorry you are having such a hard time of it. At least you can get it off your chest here and know we all DO UNDERSTAND! Take care!

sorry you're feeling so bad barb.
i hope the PT helps.
sometimes those therapists can also tweak the docs to help too if you need anything else.

I'm so sorry that you're having such a tough time Barb.

I have no magic answers, but I do hope you start to feel a bit better soon. Everyone deserves a break sometime, and I'm guessing that you're a bit over due.

Sending you some gentle hugs and letting you know you're not alone.

Thanks Guys! You do understand. I told a good friend that I fell against the wall at school today while walking because I was dizzy, and she said -- I wonder what caused that. Another friend on Saturday( whose husband has ms -- he is never tired for more than 15 minutes and has few symptoms) was telling me how good and well rested I looked. They both make me want to scream ; they just do not get it.
