Default The honeymoon may be over

I feel relatively "normal" most of the time as long as I take copaxone. But, I have times when I know I have MS. This is one of those times.

I tried to go shopping on Saturday with no success. After one tour around Walmart my legs were cramped and they hurt. I spent the rest of the day in the car while my husband did the shopping. Yesterday I was pretty good but I didn't do anything. Today I came to work but my arms are spasing and my neck and jaw are cramped.

I have my usual dillema. Do I tough it out or do I go to the Doc? About all the Doc usually does is give me baclofen which sort of works. They gave me steroids once and my blood sugar went through the roof. Also, I retained so much fluid I went into congestive heart failure. The way I feel, I would like the steroids again because despite the side effects they made me feel better.

As I'm sure many of you do, I hate this feeling!
