It has been a bit since I've written about my MS. Main reason, it is just not a fun subject! :-( Besides, with the cooler weather, I had been experiencing a few months of relief but it has come back with a vengeance the past few days. Some people's MS gets worse in the winter but mine usually improves. We have experienced a really warm winter of late, today it is in the mid-60's here, so maybe that has triggered it.
Yesterday I had the "freaking" out stuff. All sensations and noises seemed to be amplified. I was scared and had to have my hubby near me all day. I get to the point that I am almost panicking and I hate that feeling because usually, I am such a strong person.
Today, those feelings are better but I am having serious eye issues. My right eye is just not cooperating with me. It is seeming to "lag behind" the other eye. It is having spasms and feels "saggy" too. It is more annoying than anything.
One of the hardest parts of MS is people just don't understand the disease. Like when I am on edge, people tell me "it's okay, just relax" but it is not that simple. Or they say "my friend (or aunt, etc.) had MS and they didn't have that symptom, are you sure you have MS?" Yes, I am sure and so is the doctor. :-) MS has pages of symptoms and it is never the same for two people. Depression is something that comes with it also and we have no control over the feelings we get. Be sympathetic and supportive please.
