very tired today, and through the week. i don't like to complain. i play the remember when game when i get down, but its not helping this week. i think the humidity has wiped me out, i hope its not another attack coming.

i remember when ....

i walked like frankenstein....so dizzy i couldnt stand....my feet were so tight i couldnt bend the ankle....my feet still feel craclley and brittle, but not as much....my friends thought i was drunk....i couldnt work....my entire legs felt like crushed glass when i touched the skin.....my groin was totally numb..... help me out here,guys PLEASE!!!!

Maybe I don't get it but I think you need a better game than this. I like the Thankyou game better. Or the I'm glad game. Find the the things that are right with your life not the things that are wrong. If you are having another attack think about how it always gets better afterwards.

Hey melaniemic,

I've been taking calcium and magnesium for my muscles and it really helps.
check out this site, "Victory over MS".

God Bless,

Steve

Maybe I am reading this wrong, but how I take this IS you being thankful for the way you are feeling today because you remember when you felt all of those awful things....

I also think the heat and humidity have done you in! I made the mistake of going out in this earlier. Hope you feel better soon!

i remember when.. i had little control over my left side...every time i reached for something i would miss...everytime i rolled over in bed my husband had to duck or risk getting a black eye because i had no control over my left arm...heh heh heh...
i remember when for 3 months shaving my legs....meant bring on the bandaids...rofl.. no balance..no control over left side..most likely not a bright idea to shave at that time..grin.. but hey a lady has to retain some dignity..lmao
i remember when my speech was so imparied my words were slurred and the words that came out were not the ones i meant to say....
i remember kissing the pavement...oh shit..still do that one..rofl...
i remember when swallowing was extrememly difficult..(no comments here guys ..you know who you are...grin)

I think I get it. You're glad things aren't as bad as they were once before. I hope that things get better for you soon. Best wishes.

I AGREE WITH JHAD. U DON'T LIVE IN THE PAST OR THE FUTURE; U LIVE IN THE PRESENT SO DO THE BEST U CAN MENTALLY, EMOTIONALLY, PHYSICALLY, SPIRITUALLY NOW. AND ASK YOURSELF THE QUESTION--WHY ME? WHY NOT.
