Sabb-sorry you are not doing so well. I hope you feel better soon. Try and just worry about one thing at a time otherwise it gets overwhelming. I am doing ok today.

I can't sleep tonight so here I am on DS. I slipped and fell last night on a wet floor at the service station - that must be why I'm in so much pain right now. I was ok earlier today, felt fine, but as evening progressed my mid and lower back started hurting worse and the spasms got really bad. As i lie here in bed I'm having spasms in my right buttock and just trying to stay really still so as not to provoke it.

I was supposed to babysit tonight but my daughter fell down the stairs at work yesterday so she's home tonight hurting pretty bad too. She's off tomorrow so hopefully she'll be fine by Tuesday. I babysit Tuesday and Wednesday this week so hope I get better by then, at least back to just 'normal' pain; that's all I ask.My sister is taking Noah next weekend so I won't have to watch him Saturday and Sunday - lots of shifts this week lol, you'd think I was working.

Well, hope everyone is resting tonight and getting lots of sleep. I'm sure I'll nod off soon Goodnight hugs all,
Lisa

Lisa,
Sorry for both of your misfortunes. I hope that you and your daughter feel better.

I am doing OK this morning, getting ready for work.

Wishing everyone a great day.

Big Hugs,
David.

Good morning...started mine at 3:30. My light was out by 9:00 last night so I probably got enough sleep.

Yesterday was a rough one, but I think today is going to be a bit better. Monday is the second half of my weekend. It's my day to see my therapist and run errands.

I wonder why it's called 'running' errands. I'd have to be chased by a dangerous, wild animal to muster enough adrenaline to actually run!

I hope everyone has a comfortable day with moments of joy and gratitude!

Hugs,
Cherry

Good morning All.

I want to thank everyone!
I am a bit better emtionally, I have been up for hours, we went to a church members house for a party last night, it was ok to get out. hubby dragged me out said, I needed it.
I go today for a MRI, to figure out what is going on after RFA. I know I need more meds for the tremors I have, It's a trail and error on what and how much I need. I am just embarressed in public shaking so bad. Last night some people just asked if I was cold.
I am trying to take one thing at a time, just seams like it all piled on at once.
I am so glad some are doing better :) I hope all have a great day!

Feel nausaus, again. Pain level is down, slight lower back pain but big improvment from what its been. Just don't understand the stomack upset. Ate breakfast, maybe to much coff'.
Anyways, wishing all a good day filled with support n kindness.
hugs, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Good Morning All,

Vicky, coffee will definitely not help an upset stomach. I hope you feel better today.

I am experiencing above my average pain this morning, but it's probably the way I slept.

My wife woke me up at 3:45 telling me someone was stealing our Christmas stuff outside. It was the cable TV company truck turning around in our driveway (LOL)

I hope ya'll have a great day.

Big Hugs,
David.

Hi Everyone,

I had the appointment with the eye specialist. After reviewing my tests he agrees that my vision problems are caused by a MS Exaserbation. The good news is that I don't have Optic Neuritis. But the only thing they can do to help me is to change my lens prescription to match my current eye condition. He decided to go ahead with that. I have tunnel vision as well so driving is now completely out of the question. I hadn't been driving due to my seizures, but I had hoped if they stabilized I might be able to drive once again. I don't think that is going to happen. I am a little frustrated by this because I love to read and now it has become very difficult. Plus, just posting and reading posts has become really hard. I guess I was hoping for some concrete answers. Hugs, Cathy

Cathy,

I hope your new glasses help. The prices we continue to pay for our conditions....but we have each other as a group. I hope things work out OK.

I'm feeling a little better today than yesterday. I feel good, and I feel bad, are two expressions I try to stay away from. One would be a lie, and the other defeat.

Wishing everyone a low pain day.

Big Hugs,
David (aka dmaspord)

This is such a great thread. Thanks David for starting it.

I'm better today. Even gave the dog a bath...in the bathtub with the hand-held shower head. She was a good girl about it.

Good Morning Everyone,

We're getting closer to Christmas. I wish you all a Merry one. Santa came to see the kids at church last night. The older ones know it's me, but the little ones are funny. Only one little rascal tried to pull my beard off.

I'm feeling about the same. The pressure is high today, which seems to help with the constant high level pain. Day by day I overcome the aggravation of my abnormalities. Are we having fun yet??? I am looking forward to today, as most days, wishing you all well.

Big Hugs,
David.

David.....love your furr baby! I have one too:)

I need one for the road pls. I have to figure out how to get my mom down a steep ramp today in a wheel chair and get her to the dr., take her shopping, Be home and have my son at the dr.'s office at 3:15....get home, supper fixed and to a basketball game we go. *sigh* it's going to be a very very tiring day and I an deff. not up to it.:(

Sending out hugs to everyone else as well!

I am here, I am watching, I am hurting....I need a hug!!

Dixie, turn the wheelchair backwards and lean into it as you walk backward in front of it down the ramp.

Sending energy to you...

Doing better, figured out it was the antibiotic that was making my stomach upset, especially since since I wasn't drinking enough water. Apart from that, it's the usual pain, just moves from one area to another.
Wishing everyone a blessed holiday season made up of warm gatherings n lots a love.
God Bless, Vicky
