Multiple Sclerosis is such an unpredictable disease. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…it sucks. Here is a perfect example, the past week. I went to the doctor Tuesday of last week and at that point was in pain, weak, off balanced and walking with my sparkly cane. The doctor gave me the note to go back to work that day and by Wednesday afternoon I was cleared by work to return. Friday I returned for my first shift, still in pain, numb, weak and even more off balance but I decided to leave the fabulous cane in the car. By Friday night I became one with a coworker’s car in the parking lot. On to Saturday, yep you guessed it the cane returned. Friday and Saturday were the worst two days I have had physically in a while. Sunday was a day off work but no rest due to a fun family get together. Even though I worked two nights in a row I woke up with energy for the first time in almost two years. Monday was another night at work feeling great with no cane and little numbness and weakness. Tuesday was almost as good as Monday. Hello Wednesday how are you? Oh thank you for brining pain and fatigue with you, I see you spoke to your buddy Thursday and gave him the worst of it. Thank you both.
A running theme of MS is how quickly things can change. Felling good three days in a row is all I am aloud apparently. Not only am I exhausted my body hurts AGAIN! One would think I might use my two days off to rest…well you thought wrong. Unfortunately it takes extreme measures for me to admit defeat. I ran around for the last two days. Why; because I have a life and need to get things done like buying food for my children to eat every day. I don’t like starving my family you know; it’s bad for the digestive system. So here I am Thursday night, kids asleep, husband still working and I am not resting; I am writing and cleaning in between. Back to work tomorrow. I am hoping to wake up with no pain in my hands and knees and have some sort of energy. If not coffee and I will have a great time tomorrow.
