I am sitting here waiting for my pcp office to call me and let me know if my lab tests showed any signs of infection. As I sit here, I have increased fatigue (despite taking Provigil) , another headache, weakness in my legs AND arms, partial numbness in my limbs, occasional myoclonic jerks, and (of course ) difficulty walking. It's been happening off and on for about 2 weeks, but really worsened after a trip to Lancaster (without my rollator) last Saturday.
I have been doing so well, this school year, that I'm really not prepared for this. I hoped that things would just get better, until this week proved the opposite. :-( I guess that is part of the reason I waited until yesterday to contact my doctor. I didn't want to rush into seeing my neurologist if I didn't have to. I'm not even sure who my new neurologist is, now. I got a letter earlier this year from my neurologist (former neurologist, I guess) explaining that he is taking a role of training new doctors. A different neurologist will be seeing me from now on.
The worst part of this is the timing. I have been "homeschooling" (actually it's an online public school option) my daughter this year, and we are behind. I am having a terrible time trying to get enough rest, work with her, help my son with HIS homework, and try to keep up with life in general. :-( It doesn't help that we are debating whether or not to do ACTUAL homeschool next year or send my daughter to the public middle school with her brother. Her therapist thinks she needs another year at home, if my health will allow it.
I just want to make it through the rest of this year, right now. I really am tired of having MS. :-(
