Yearly MRI’s stable no progression, MS meds finally covered, blood pressure is going down. Anthony started pre-k and likes it. So it sounds like things are starting to look up and move forward. WRONG! For the three steps I just took forward I am in the middle of ten steps backward. So frustrating. While I am thrilled my MRI’s came back great, I am still not feeling 100%. I am walking without my cane and dare I say even a little speed to my stride, but my right leg has been giving out on me AGAIN. Oh well. My hands have a permanent neuropathy in them and it’s just an odd feeling all the time. I am starting with the fatigue as well. Compared to the beginning of the summer though my symptoms have greatly improved.
I’m sure you are all wondering why I am still having issues…MAJOR STRESS. It is all true, heat and stress can worsen symptoms. A lot of these problems are mainly caused by inflammation and I discovered a new issue worsened by it. A lovely friend I call my lap band. Apparently even though there is no band slippage or perforation I have a weakened esophagus due to my MS and it makes it difficult to eat. Let’s add a flare up and it feels like there is a knife stabbing my chest. So after seeing some doctors the decision has been made that it is coming out. Now to get the insurance to approve it. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed. I’m not gonna lie kiddies, I love broccoli and miss not being able to eat it. I know this isn’t one of my best stories but I have major writers block lately and had the need to write. I am attributing it to all the meds I’m taking. I also attribute the non emotions I feel lately to the meds as well as other things. I apologize for the lack of enthusiasm in this installment but as my cousin always says “DEAL WIT IT”!
