I don't normally talk to anyone about this, but it's one of those days, ya know? I feel like something is just wrong with me. Ok, I know I have MS, but i think this stems even farther. I know my mom always asked me growing up "what's wrong with you".. or always told me "i dont know what is wrong with you" and even once I told her this year that I have MS, she said, "I always knew something was wrong with you". Talk about moral support.. LOL. I know she's just trying to escape her demons, not accepting her behavior as a parent. The problem is, I do feel like something is wrong with me, and sometimes it's hard to tell if it's the MS, the depression, or if it's just a blah day, or is it something else? I dunno. but today is one of those "something doesn't feel right" days. Do you get those? Do you have days that you just feel off - and do you chalk it up to MS? Do people without MS get days like that?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

From my experience, I think MS plays a big part in anxiety/depression. Normally, I'm a pretty up-beat person...So sometime around 22 or 23 (before I was diagnosed) when I went through a bought of anxiety/depression for about a year, my mom would ask me the same thing. I couldn't give her an answer. I didn't know why I could sleep for 14+ hours at a time and was just tired 24/7...I didn't know why certain things would throw me in to a panick attack. Heck, I changed ALOT of stuff for that year, trying to avoid anything that made me panic. I finally decided I was crazy, and went to the doctor. He put me on Paxil for a few months, weaned me off it, and I've been good ever since. I thought Paxil was a miracle drug!!!! When I was diagnosed last year, I was telling my neurologist about it, and he said it was most likely MS related considering those are 2 very common symptoms. He said from the # of older lesions on my MRI, I've been having "silent attacks" probably starting in my late teens/early 20's...nothing my normal doctor would think to have me checked for MS. I can at least relate, and I think it's nice to know you're not the only one, so that makes us completely normal, RIGHT?ha,ha...Hope tomorrow is a better day for ya!!!
or if your mean the days i describe as feeling "off".like my body,health,mind,everything is "off". it's very unnerving. i know it's caused by the m.s. but before i was dxed it really used to scare me
getting in the funk more and
more lately. It could be
since my side effects started
to come back from the
Avonex. Also I am having
a horrible time with my
fiancee. He does not get
it that he is treating me
like a maid. I am trying
to convince him that I am
a person and a person with
MS and some days I just
need support.
