Hi to all..I miss you!!!! Winters are usually worse but this winter has been espespecially difficult. I have lived on Salon pas but looking for over the counter before i head back to the doc. 3 weeks one flat on back....just woke up like i had moved all the furniture. Now able to get up and move a bit.
I am hoping this finds everyone stable....I can hope. Big hugs and Happy New Year!
Yes, we have had a weird winter here. I know that we are not that far away from each other. I’m so sorry that you are hurting so much. I use CBD cream on my back every day. I can’t get through the day without it. I hope you start feeling better soon and just remember that spring will come. Then soon we will be way too hot in the summer! Take care of yourself! ☺️
Yes, muscles lock up whenever they want to, sometimes in mid step my calf will lock up and down I go! Cold weather seems to make mine worse too. I use the patches I get from Humana. They help, some! Massage helps a lot, especially on arms, legs. Feel better soon.
My legs lock up if I have a fever. When my fever is reduced, then my legs work fine.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I'm praying that you & your loved ones have a blessed holiday, year, life, and eternity!!
we sometimes really wonder if we had moved the furniture for all of the aches and pains we wake up with ,with out actually moving anything ...such a pain and for what ...sorry about that lasted so long ...hope all is good now ...love and laughter for more happiness...
i keep trying physiotherapy, but it never works. i think people look at my age and just assume i can do much more than i can. the second attempt lasted 3 visits until i awoke one day unable to walk. my whole back felt like a solid brick. i had to crawl, no joke. i do suffer from spasticity and it was very hot at the facility, but it was horrible. for a week i crawled wherever i went.
hi,
I too have tried p/t many times. More often than not the p/t doesn’t help much. Until I had a therapist whose husband had MS and the.n a few exercises helped. She only came by for 6 sessions because insurance covered 6 in home visits.
I think the key to any success in maintaining what function you have is to find a p/t and o/t who is trained or has experience in MS. I’m sure we know that there are different exercises that work better for us than others. I could write a book on this, but I hope ya’ll get what I mean.😘
i completely get it. i tried explaining to her how my body worked. she nodded and went right on telling me to do things i couldn't. the only help i've ever really gotten was from a different physio. she had me doing the cones, sort of like driver's ed cones, lol, set up in a row. i had to step over them, which required concentration and balance. i'd forgotten about that. i might have to prop up some books and do that!😀
is it lower back? Mine is and icy hot works best for me. Aspercream is also a magnificent magical help.
I hope you get better soon!
I have PPMS.
new treatment
