I know I've come in here with this same question a lot. Maybe there are some new perspectives now.
One of the few things I still enjoy is baking or cooking occasionally but it kicks my butt every time. Stirring or beating or cutting up veggies makes my heart feel tired. By the time I'm done my heart rate is up a little, I'm shaking, my legs are weak, my chest feels fluttery and tired... in general it just exhausts me. Sometimes lightheaded.
I've had my heart checked many times and there hasn't been one doctor who was ever concerned. I AM on blood pressure meds now... started recently. So I guess I should be relieved. But I can't help but wonder if MS can cause this kind of fatigue. I know some of you have felt like this and understand this. But right now I need some reassurance. Again.
I hate to give up absolutely everything in life that keeps me busy. I'm not going down that road if I can help it. But I wonder too, if I am doing damage to myself with these little chores.
Thanks so much guys.
