Charlie Brown Christmas

Rules are only one thing per post....

You know your having an exacerbation when...

[Good_enough]

You start trickling pee and have to place a wee wee pad in your underwear

[WAshingtongirl in reply to Good_enough]

You mean you don't do that every day? 😉 I should own stock in Poise Pads.

You are carrying something in your hand and drop it, you look down and are not moving but you still trip!

[Raingrrl]

You experience a new symptom or the return of an old one.

[erash]

Lightening strikes the right side of your face and you cringe remembering how bad the trigeminal neuralgia pain can get, so you search desperately for a bottle of Tegretol with at least 1 tablet left until you can get to the pharmacy 😬

Your leg starts doing the jig without you! You race for the cane and realize that it's in another email and your leg just laughs at you. 😕

RM* grrrrr tablet

[Morllyn]

I'm not sure what is going on with my body.

[Karen-x]

The thought of walking up the stairs makes you cry.

[goatgal]

for some reason, you've forgotten how to swallow

[WAshingtongirl]

It feels like some one is stabbing your hand with an ice pick. You look down and find nothing out of the ordinary, but nothing you do or take relieves the pain. It disappears, then strikes again, finally to leave you alone a couple days later.

When I cannot tolerate more than one person talking at a time and even the clothes I am wearing bother me. Sensory overload.

The simplest things/activities become an Olympic Event.

When the Dr. says "how many fingers am I holding up?" And I say "12 ... Or is it 13?"

[angelite]

When you are immensely proud of having got to the bathroom on time..........by crawling !

[jimeka]

When you have accomplished the simplest of tasks, you can turn around to yourself and say ' yes I did it ' blessings Jimeka

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador]

When you feel like your walking through quick sand! And each step is harder than the next!

[greaterexp]

When you're not sure how a Hallmark movie will end.

[Good_enough in reply to greaterexp]

Made me lol

[dmaskal1]

Good_enough, I have progressive MS so I've learned a lot about relapsing-remitting MS reading these replies to your question. I hope you enjoy a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I view each MS symptom as a challenge, like in a game, and, even though the challenge may frustrate me I work to figure out how to master whatever the challenge may be and I feel happy when I've figured out a new way to master a challenge.

[Good_enough in reply to dmaskal1]

Merry Christmas . I hope I didn't offend any with primary progressive ms. I was trying to make light of the holidays because even though it's a thoughtful time, it always brings stress and exacerbation . I was curious what others experience around this time . I don't know if I should say that there is a good thing about ms, but it can also bring out so much strength in a person.

[greaterexp in reply to Good_enough]

For me, humor helps immensely, so I'm grateful when someone else can share something which makes me laugh. Thank you!

[dmaskal1 in reply to Good_enough]

You didn't offend me. I agree ta amor is the best medicine!
