I'm feeling awful!

[CaroleL]

I'm blaming cog fog for mixing my medication yesterday. I also realized I had not taken some the day before. A trip to the pharmacy and a new pill organizer should solve that problem.

I got a sudden hot flash las night that took over my body. At the same time the heat was going down, it felt like I was being filled with cement. I've had that cement feeling before but never in my whole body and staring in the head.

This was followed by intense vomiting and diarrhea. Of course all at the same time! Maybe a bug or something.

Being In a wheelchair makes this really awkward. I couldn't even transfer myself . It's a good thing hubby was here. But what if he wasn't?

I've been sleeping all day and still feeling awful. Plus having MS hug in upper chest. I don't dare eat.

I'm feeling like my body has given up on me. I've had so many new symptoms in the last month and I can't help but think that I'm heading to the end stages fairly quickly.

That needed to be said. I'm scared when I think of what's next.

That's awful Carole, I'm sorry you are suffering so much, especially everything all at once. I hope you are able to rest and get some fluids into you so you can get some relief in at least one area!

Thanks for your responses. I'm feeling a bit better tonight and managed to eat a bit of yogurt. And keep it!

Oh Carole,
I am so sorry you are going through this.
Can you get some medication to see if one of the drugs will help? Have you gone to a teaching hospital to volunteer for one of the trials? This way you would get free meds and treatment.
The problem is, we are never sure about the effects of new, unproven in humans drugs.

Thank goodness your husband helps you.

I'm still waiting on dx from Neuro, so il likely been getting proper meds then.

As for trials...hmmmm...I fell like I've been life's little guinea pig for too long already, thanks but no thanks. I'd hate to be on the side that is receiving the placebo. I want to stop the progression now. I'm already almost totally bedridden. I want the right meds ASAP.

By next week, I should be getting my medication costs covered. My fingers are crossed.

As for my hubby, I am blessed. He hasn't once complained about anything and he is so helpful. We've been married over 20 years and I love him more every day! He even baked me a "cheer me up chocolate cake" that he left in the room for me to have access too.

Today I've had a yogurt and 2 shortbread cookies. I guess I'm on the mend! Lol

[CaroleL]

Thank you!

I'm back to eating normally, since last night.

I am blessed to have my hubby. He's the finest man I know, and my best friend. I couldn't imagine going through all of this without him.

Carole,

I hope you start to feel better soon and are able to get the meds necessary. I'm new here, but have read some of your posts and you are such an inspiration.

Good thoughts going out to you...
