Morning I hope you are having a good Bank Holiday weekend. As always, I am wondering if I am having a relapse this weekend. Before I call 111 and completely ruin my day and another family member, your thoughts would be appreciated. Symptoms for more than 48 hours. No coordination between brain and legs, I can walk but I need rolator and preferably tram lines 
. Further desensitised touch to lower body. Generally everything is a lot worse than it should be. I haven’t been ill, I’m not hot. I think I’ve answered my own question but what would you do?
Gosh, basically I don’t know . Are these new symptoms? If so then yes probably/ possibly a relapse
I have days when for reasons unknown my symptoms are worse / better than others. The Worse symptoms sometimes follow a period of worry/ anxiety about something or another.

I am definitely worse than my normal bad days. I’ve just tried walking outside to see my granddaughter and wow my legs definitely aren’t working. I’m don’t want the 4 hours of waiting in the ED for nothing but to call your MS nurse tomorrow. He is useless.
Personally I spend as long as I can with my head in the sand before admitting even to myself that there might be something new and purposeful going on here. If I was suddenly going into urinary retention or something that would be another matter of course. Or if it looked like the symptoms could possibly be something else that did need urgent attention like a stroke.
But a a garden variety MS relapse? Well, what’s the rush? All they can do is give your steroids and who wants those unless they’re desperate? Not me. In your shoes I would enjoy the bank holiday and put off until Tuesday the soul-destroying job of trying to get through to the MS nurse. Who knows? They might surprise you by swinging into action in double-quick time. 
And if it takes them a while, well, another reason for not having disrupted your plans before you had to.
