Is it dangerous to ride my bike on the flats during a flair? I find it easier to ride than walk, stand, or do Yoga right now. I went ahead and rode yesterday, and felt no more exhausted or weak than usual. Climbing the stairs in my house feels like riding my bike 20 miles (my usual flat ride). Basically I'm whipped no matter what I do, even riding my bike - tried dancing at the Halloween party last night...forget it! I sat for the rest of the night. I just make myself ride and do Yoga because I have a "use it or lose it" mentality, and want to keep the muscles that are still working, well, working. Is that dangerous?
Anyway, the only reason I say "during a flair" in the present tense, is because I saw my Neuro Friday, and he said my flair was still active with his neuro exam findings. I also revealed I hadn't had an orgasm since June, and he said "Oooh, that's bad, for two obvious reasons. One, you want that pleasure, but two, your spinal lesions, even though we can't see them on the MRI are responsible for this. I want to repeat your MRI and/or LP soon". I really don't want to go through another LP. He switched me from Valium to Baclofen for my spasms, which have been strong and numerous (leaping out of bed 4 - 7 times a night). So far, so good.
After Quix's post on MRI software, I'm wondering what kind of software the 3T machine I've been going to has, and if Stanford has a 7T machine, yet?
Taking it relatively easy, today...
