I absolutely never dreamed I would get to this point. I was dx in 2001 and have done pretty well until the last few years. A steady decline.
Now, although I am still walking ( sort of ) I am completely worn out from the least little things. Everything hurts. It's a daily struggle to just keep going.
I have developed several autoimmune diseases and various ills. Each one seems to be worse than the one before. And from what I hear, the MS will and does make the rest of my problems all "seem" worse. I'm not sure which one is on the runaway train, but I'm sick every day of my life.
I have osteoarthritis in my hands. I remember my Mom having arthritis in her hands and she used some kind of gloves. Not sure if it helped. All I know is I can't cut food or open anything without a lot of difficulty and pain. Never saw that coming. Have tendinitis in my butt and hips, groin and legs. Also have Osteoporosis.
I never know what to treat. Which pill to use for which problem. So I tend to just ignore it all the best I can.
I always moved fast.. did everything quickly. Now I'm like a snail. This Christmas passed and I didn't do one thing... no baking.. no cooking. First time ever. I guess you call this "progression". Or just an unfortunate combination of a lot of diseases.
I guess I'm just asking if a lot of us here feel this daily drag, constant pain, utter fatigue more and more as time passes.
