    WHAT A WEEK!!

    This has been one of those dreaded weeks. My worst symptoms are walking and balance. My legs have been so stiff this week I walk like Frankenstein. The more I stayed on my legs the worse it was. Thanks goodness the VA had the foresight to get me a wheelchair.

    I have spent the entire week in my wheelchair at work. I have to walk a lot so it was in best interest. I use my rollator at home but I dont move around a lot when I'm home. But I'm a MS Warrior and I fought through it. But I grateful it ends today and I have the next two days off.

    Just one of those weeks I'm sure we all have from time to time.
    Dx'd 4/1/11. First symptoms in 2001. Avonex 4/11, Copaxone 5/12, Tecfidera 4/13 Gilenya 4/14-10/14 Currently on no DMT's, Started Aubagio 9/21/15. Back on Avonex 10/15

      Sorry to hear about your difficult week. It sounds like a flare; or, are those just residual symptoms for you?

        Mamabug, I think it's just residual symptoms because I just had a flare I. November. Just saw my Neuro and I was having the same problems she didn't think I was having a flare. May just be the start of my new normal. I sure hope not though.

          Hope not too! Especially if you just had one.
