hi all
i thought i was handling my ms quite well in the 6 years since diagnosis but it has truly returned with a vengeance.
first up the hug but bigger and badder than ever. it lasted all last week and now my ribs feel bruised.
so i upped my meds gabapentin and amitryptiline from 1 a day to as many as i could swallow.
i’d forgotten about the side effects and now i’m bloated. i look 6 months pregnant and feel like john hurt in Alien - just waiting for it to rip out of my chest.
add a spot of neuralgia to the mix and i’m not a happy bunny.
all the lifestyle changes that were doing me good have fallen by the wayside. i usually go for hydrotherapy on wednesday but i’m really not up to it.
the only things i havent given up on are my feel good treats - a good haircut and drastic colour, which i’m going for today.
and tickets to watch a band - elbow next week!!
ah well, at least i know that it won’t last forever.
my new shoes have just arrived, i like them but they feel like i’m on the cross trainer!
