Hi friends!
I wanted to share this because I am proud of myself and thought this group would understand the best & also to give some of the newbies a little lighthearted MS talk.
I am recently dxd with RRMS this summer. I had a whammy of a first attack in June/July (first attack that I was aware of) that left me totally paralyzed on the right side of my body for 2 weeks. No walking, no moving of my arm, no writing, etc. (on the plus side, I now can text, do my makeup, and eat with my left hand like a champ!). After a ton of physical therapy and enough steroids to put Arnold Schwarzenegger back into Terminator status, I healed up and regained all mobility (almost back to normal...well as normal as i ever was
).
I have been trying to push myself since I was able to walk again with physical therapy and exercise. I am feeling better every single day (even with the occasional numbness, fatigue, etc).
This weekend I decided to challenge myself physically. I did a 4+ mile hike with my BF. I completed it no problem and feel great! I was less sore than my BF the next day even
(I did get walking sticks to help with my balance...I highly recommend those)
MS totally kicked my butt this summer, but today I feel like I am in charge. So for today at least, I am happy, proud and feel in charge.
Just wanted to share with the people who truly understand what an accomplishment this is for me
