Time
I stayed home Thursday and Friday due to bronchitis, sinus, and asthma issues. It was hard to breathe on Wednesday, so I requested two days of medical leave. I didn't do a whole lot, but didn't take advantage of the sleep time either. I'm not sure what I did. I know that I got some errands done and made sub plans, but what else? I want to stay up to date with the journal but I'm either too tired to write, I don't have time to write, or it is simply too late. I feel a bit better. I'm hoping the sinus stuff clears up completely so that I won't have to see and ENT doctor or get a CAT scan on my sinuses. The scan doesn't scare me--it would just be expensive and I'm afraid that it might show a need for surgery--which I don't want. Copaxone--going okay. I still hate daily shots. MS Symptoms--for medical journal purposes: •Shaking hands (occurs when fatigued, sometimes just tremors/trembling and at other times shaking that is obvious or easily seen. •Fine motor skills in fingers limited some of the time; knocking stuff over or dropping things--seems like I am very clumsy! •Balance overall seems a little shaky, especially on steps. Other symptoms, not MS related (as far as I know) •difficulty breathing •nausea •stuffed up noise, runny nose, phlegm (yuck)--lots of it •fatigue •feeling completely overwhelmed •left breathless after doing stairs or too much physical labor •side vision (periphereal?) seeing things just dart out of the corner of the eye-- kind of like a sense of something moving without any specific shape. Like some- thing is darting. I can't think of other symptoms or anything else. Oh, yeah. blood sugar is surprisingly good--118. Still haven't gotten the MRI results nor have I heard when my next appt. for neurologist is--they were supposed to contact me. Maybe the appt. is buried under the ton of mail we seem to be accumulating.
