Relapse or just symptoms getting worse...

I guess I will find out. My legs are twitching real bad and they feel like they are going to sleep. I can still walk, very slowly but I can walk. My eyes are fuzzy but this just started this afternoon so I will have to wait to see how I am feeling tomorrow before I put a call into my neuro. I know it has to be 24 hours to be considered a relapse so I am just sucking it up and waiting.

I can't sleep in my room because it is upstairs and I am not going to try walking the stairs tonight so the couch it is for me.

My hips started feeling weird yesterday and today all this. I really hope it isn't a relapse but there is not much I can do about it if it is. Well thanks for listening.

Called neuro today. My legs aren't any better, eyes seem to be a little better but the more tired I get the worse they are getting. Nurse said she will talk to my doc and call me back. She said it will probably be another round of IVSM so I will wait to see what doc says.

Man this stinks!

Hey, Paula -

I hope things don't get any worse,  but if they do, then DO call your neuro.  I might be time from a little help from a round of IVSM.

I hope the Copaxone gets to work sooner than later!

Hugs Paula.  I've been going through the same thing and it's very scary.

I hope the Copaxone kicks in very soon for you.

Thanks Lulu,

I am hoping I am wrong. These relapses are seeming to come more and more often. I can barely pick myself up off the couch as of now. I think it will be cane or walker time before long.

I just wish things would slow down, this is getting to be ridiculous but it is what it is and hopefully when the Copaxone kicks in and hopefully things will slow down for me.

enough girl! You have already done enough time with those relapses and they need to stop.  Oh, if only it was that easy.

Seriously, I hate to hear your instincts kicking in again, you are always right about such things. Here's hoping you are wrong this time.

hugs, L

Thank you Alex,

I have to say, I think that my legs are giving out on me tonight. I am not going to freak out though because as I always say, we never know what tomorrow may bring so we need to enjoy every moment of every day.

I am really hoping this passes by tomorrow but I have a feeling it isn't going to, this could explain the added fatigue I have had lately. Extreme fatigue is usually a sign I am going into a relapse.

I can't wait till I am 6 months into my Copaxone so this can slow down for me or at least I hope it slows down for me.

Dear Paula,

So sorry to hear this. Hold on tight though, we are all here for you and know all too well the strange and distressing times that come with MS.

May this spell pass quickly for you. Gentle hugs.

Blessings
Alex
