I'm doing well, thanks-getting things done and it's about time!

As for MS, it lets me know it's there and I work around it the best I can.

I hope all is well with you.

Good post,

You're right, people don't want to hear we are getting worse. I'm sure it makes them sad and they can't really understand, even when we try to explain. That's why this site is so helpful, to share our symptoms/feelings with those who truly get it.

I am always aware of my ms, am now spms and there is no getting better. Just trying to slow it down and maintain where I'm at.

The past two months I have felt miserable with my thyroid tanking and Ocrevus running out. But I'm on the upside again. My thyroid level is coming back up and I get my Ocrevus infusion tomorrow. I'm praying I get back "normal" within a week or so. And if it doesn't I will just adjust like I have so many times before. But I am staying positive so I don't have to worry about making any more adjustments!

I’ve been so fatigued! I’ve been taking afternoon naps almost daily. Had an appointment with my Neuro yesterday and he said he’s incredibly pleased with where I’m at right now, so...πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. I still just feel a bit off. Like someone else said I can just feel the MS. With that being said, I’m functioning at a very high level (family, work, diet, exercise) and I’m very happy about that!!! How are you?

Ty! I laughed at it too and then wondered if it was just my terrible sense of humor πŸ™ƒ

It’s days I have some energy and days I lack. Altogether I’m thanking God through it all because it could be worse. I’m still able to walk without assistance and do certain things and complete them. Praying for all of us

My neuro NP & I concluded that as long as there are more good or ok days than bad that we’ll say things are all right πŸ˜‰

Everyday is a good day especially when you are able to see another day. Ten years ago, I was diagnosed with colon cancer. Two months ago, My Dr. told me I was CANCER FREE. So MS is just another issue I am dealing with, but I am doing Great. MS will not get me down. I keep moving. Can't stop.

Felt a lot less fatigue this week compared to the last few weeks. Keeping busy with work and the children which helps keep my mind off the ms. Glad for another day. Hope you are doing well.

Interesting responses and many of which I might have made over the last 4 or 5 years. But, this year, NOT so much. It appears not much can be done after there are major demyelinations events affecting balance, ability to walk, ability to use an increasingly disappointing brain, and, most importantly, the increasing loss of energy. = terrible fatigue.

My life is now so different in a physically degraded way it is difficult to assess rationally. When I feel more energetic and capable of actually thinking rationally, I plan to write a short synopsis of this past year and what I look forward to....as soon as I figure out what that is in a promoting life way.

Thank you all for writing such thoughtful notes. I love reading what you have to say and what you think about relating it to your lives .

Nemaste, Bodega.
