So i had a lovely day Saturday got the courage to attend my best friends wedding. I cant say i was looking forward to it, as I knew what would happen, and it has.
The aftermath of enjoying yourself, no one would believe it. I feel like i have the worse flu, my head is buzzing, alongside my legs, and body. Pain at an 8.
I wish non MSERS would really understand why we quite often decline to go out, its like walking into a room with the flu virus.
UGH.
Hello CC.
I patiently spell out my reasons for declining offers where I’m unsure of the circumstances and the outcome. It meets with mixed reactions. My best mate always makes due consideration for any possible outing but not everyone does that.
I have a little ruse when I’m really unsure. I produce a little list of reasons. To those who mock my use of such a prompt, I have a standard reply:
“Brian fog. I need to do this because I cannot sequence a chain of thoughts, especially when I’m tired.” Embarrassing pause follows. “And even trying to remember things makes me tired.” Then I may go into a lament of the restrictions of my condition and how I used to do everything spontaneously.
Best wishes, Steve.
Crazy Chick,
I sometimes feel like a miserable git when I decline invites but the consequences of accepting would often outweigh the niceties or benefits.
Good luck

Theres both pros and cons for going out or staying home in the world of ms.

Sorry you are suffering, me to I went out and today is a bed day.
But today I am back in circulation I feel like S##te but I am downstairs rather than sleeping
I try my hardest to book things with a good distance between them. I just can’t cope otherwise, I end up sleeping thru something I need to do!

Oh knickers! Innit a chuff when we can’t always enjoy the good times!
I always have a day in bed before and after invites I really want to go to.

I dont do staying in bed. I find it makes me feel worse to be honest. I have a great system, a nice comfy fully reclining chair, with a stool which i recline on downstairs. I also have a great laptop extending table for my lappie, and a side table by my side which includes all my meds, and stuff i need during the day. Hubby always brings me coffee and cake at 11am.
I am physically tired and in a lot of pain. I never sleep in the day if i did i wouldnt sleep at night. I go to bed at 5pm everyday though, and asleep by 7/8pm.
Well its day 5. Could just about get out of bed, my left leg is so weak just resting on my chair now enjoyed my breakfast thanks to hubby. But five days are you kidding me.
