    I thought I was beyond this, but...

    I really believed I was having my first real remission, but gradually all the symptoms have come back. This morning I woke up absolutely exhausted... more so than usual. Yesterday I kept falling asleep most of the day. I slept pretty well last night without any meds. But the knock-down fatigue kept me off at least have the day.

    My dog had an appointment with the Vet and I really felt like cancelling. But, I pushed through and did that little chore. I even took a couple B12's first.

    The dizzies came back, some of the facial pain and some of the pins and needles etc etc. My neuro is retiring in June so I will have a new one. So that's something else to deal with. Some days I feel so healthy, but then....it starts all over.

    Hope everyone on this board is staying healthy and keeping with the program. A little while longer won't hurt anyone. We MS-ers know how to be patient don't we!!

    The only cure for insomnia is to get more sleep.

    good vibes on the way to you

    Sorry they are back nipping at your heels. Such a drag literally lol. Just imagine the rest of the US is now getting to experience some of the "locked down" feelings we deal with on a daily basis right? Glad you got some sleep.

        Hi Marti,
        I sincerely hope that you are feeling better. It is so discouraging to feel pretty good then BANG not so good!

          Marti,

          Sorry to hear. MS sometimes seems to do that. We can cruise along where we seem to be at peace with our MS, then out of nowhere, it reminds us that we still have battles to fight.

          For me, the culprit is that when in a good cycle, I keep pushing to do more, than the fatigue hits, and symptoms worsen. Then I am really limited until the fatigue lifts some. Any chance you may be caught in this type of cycle?

          It seems to be a balancing act. I have been getting better about not pushing too hard. But once in awhile, I get caught.
