Do small things scare you? I am not talking about being put in a wheel chair or going blind but the smaller MS things.
Today my body is short circuiting all over the place. My face is tingling and feels like it is covered in cobwebs. My scalp is tingling as are my hands. All very distracting. Not painful but uncomfortable.
My feet going half way up my calf are numb and tingling and they feel very heavy. Walking is very weird and kinda hurts but is just.... very upsetting. It just feels wrong. It just scares me.
I guess it is that every part of my body is feeling tings it should not feel and I know it is not normal and I wonder where it will end. Is this a new relapse and so on. And since this is the most numb my feet have been how much more numb will they get?
I try to function, get through the day and then I find myself in tears, scared. I am 14 years into this MS thing, I should have the hang of it now. But I still get scared.

Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics. An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism. Another new factoid for me. The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital. I don't think that we will have her much longer. She is very frail. Now she needs help eating. So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying. I think crying releases toxins into my body. I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
Chrissy- unfortunately, we are riding that roller coaster now in my house about loss of feeling. :( It brought me to tears when I first realized that I no longer had much sensation... Down there. It is unnerving.
Be well, all.
I have had MS for 15 yrs and RA for 16 and a few other conditions. I research everything but somewhere I missed that part. I never knew that my lady parts could go numb.......Just an FYI i have noticed that when i stick to a vegan diet (which sucks) after a week my limping and other things decrease. If that helps anyone........
We need each other!
Thanks for sharing!
Time Warner was out here 3 times in the last 2 weeks and it is still not right. It is so hard to get people to treat me right because I am disabled. I have been ripped off, ignored, stood up and every thing else because people do not think that I can see what kind of work they do because I am disabled so it is scary to hire anyone to help me because they know that I am vulnerable.
