Call the Exorcist

Dinner wasn’t much to speak of tonight. We’re short on groceries, so the veggies were straight out of the can. It’s just not the same. In a little while, we’re off to the grocery store, so we can re-stock the fresh veggie bin of the fridge.

I ended up giving in to a nap just before dinner. I didn’t intend to, but that old MS fatigue steamrolled right over me and I went down for the count. It is like an uncontrollable force that just takes up residence in your body and there is not a darn thing you can do about it. Hmmm… wonder if an exorcism would help?

I never, ever, ever never, feel tired; my MS fatigue is all in my muscles. Weird, huh?

Yeah — Proving once again that one person’s MS is unlike another’s!

I must be lucky. I get the MS fatigue in the muscles and in the brain. And one never helps the other. Oh the joys of MS.

Living with MS
- Diagnosis, Denial, Due Diligence
  So you’ve been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Now what? Denial. My own lasted only a few brief moments. The odyssey to diagnosis was a difficult one, and I quickly embraced the sweet relief of finally having an answer. But then it hit me — I have MS. I have MS. I have MS. Me. MS! There [...] […]
