i feel good...daa na na na na na na!

i just had to share this with someone who can understand the magnitude of my joy,
going on nearly 2 days now, the vertigo that has been destroying my summer, is let's say...80% better!!!!
i am still dizzy, but feel soooooo INCREDIBLE, like i could climb a mountain!  

almost as good as this is that for the last week or so, i've been much more mentally acute than i have been since this whole thing began.  the fog seems to be lifting and i once again, feel like a competent employee at my job.

perhaps the best part of this all is that there is still one whole precious week left to the summer before the kidlets are back in school and i intend to make the absolute most of it!!!  

--all this, contingent of course, on if this positive trend continues--but even if not, these few glorious days/hours/minutes of feeling better has me giddy beyond belief and i am soooo thankful for them!!!!

(there are of course still a host of other symptoms going on, but nevermind them--what was dragging me down was the vert.)

big smiles,

michelle!

Can understand why you are dancing on a cloud right now. Must absolutely feel like heaven.

People who have not experienced this cannot possibly imagine the impact it has on day to day living. I'm so excited that you have a break from it!!!

Is there any way that you send some magic dust to me and all of the others who deal with this 24/7? We'd love to be able to join you in your dance!

Hope that you have the "bestest" possible time with your kids before school starts!

  Fantastic!!! I am so happy that you got a break from the vert.

  I am really impressed with the way you are appreciating and embracing as you say each minute day etc even though you have other symptoms. What a great attitude - I love it!

Enjoy

It is so incredibly amazing when we do feel good -we get so used to our normal being so-so, that when we have those breakthrough moments it can really grab our attention.

I like your use of the term giddy to describe the euphoric feeling from this.  It fits - I know because I have had those breakthrough moments as well.  

here's to it lasting a long time for you!

Yeah, it's times like these that give me hope for the future - if I can feel like that one day and feel like this the next, then we'll be okay.

Hooray!!!! I am sooooo happy for you and I have been fortunate to not have experienced vertigo with MS but the nearest I can think is how I feel when I am on a boat (which I avoid) and this is something I avoid whenever possible.

I am a great beleiver in living in the moment so enjoy it all right now and have fun with your kids in the last week (but don't overdo it as you do not need to tip the balance back again).

Thanks for sharing your happy thoughts and sending you hugs and love
