    • Boo to my bod

      It’s been 2 weeks since my MS relapse went full blown and ended up being the worst one I’ve had. During a typical relapse like this one areas on me go numb, things on my body don’t want to operate too well, but I get by - just. However, this time I’ve been numb from my chest down (like total dentist type numb) and my legs wouldn’t hold me or feet even raise to put my undies on (who needs them anyway my best bud says!). Sitting down feels well horrid, and stairs to get to the bathroom hasn’t been fun! This has been well scary. My arms and head were still okay so I went to the hospital at the weekend for high strength steroids (500mg a day) to help slow this attack down and stop it spreading further. I’m on day 4 out of 5 and things are operating a ‘little’ bit better.

      It’s really embarrassing stumbling and appearing so strange in public so I’ve not left the house much. I’ve got a large girly umbrella to disguise as a walking stick, and I’ve pulled the sleeves of my hubby’s to double the length grabbing onto him getting around. I can’t wait to get back to normal and get off my butt as I really hate this. Gee, is my eye problems not enough for me to complain about??

      So, fingers crossed things improve soon and I’ll be stumbling and falling over when it’s wine and cocktails I’ve had instead! Moan over for the night, so where do you recommend I aim to get to on Friday night in Glasgow?!
