M.S. leaves me so beat-down, it's like having the blahs that a cold or flu gives you, only on a daily basis! This past week, I felt even worse, and simply attributed it was my new M.S. Normal. Than an odd thing happened. My daughter came down with a cold, and it dawned on me that I was the one who gave it to her, and that what I thought was my M.S./allergy stuff was really a cold.
I am feeling a lot better so whatever it was is leaving my body. My mother had M.S. and I can remember on at least 2 when she went to her doctor appointment and was sporting pneumonia without even realizing it (she was extremely "phlegmy" at all times). I remember thinking how bad her disease must be if she can't even tell if she's "sick" in the traditional sense. Now it's happening to me. I don't know if I am being slammed by M.S. or a flu virus until after it's gone. Even then I don't know for sure. When I was "well", there was never any doubt when I had a cold. I took a day or two off of work and starting coming around again. M.S. is not so generous.
