Feel low
I feel so low. Really down and have done for a while. The problem is every day things are firing up in my body. Vibrating muscles (all over) aching muscles, aching joints, balance out, vertigo. Twitching left eye. It’s doing my head in! From the moment I get out of bed and put my feet on the floor it starts. All day. Going out walking, mixing with people doesn’t work because no one understands really so I hide how I feel take lyrica and baclofen to ‘survive’, then come home and spend 48 hours physically getting over it. Working out, which I used to love is getting painful. My usual routine that I’ve done for years now leaves me aching badly and weary for 48 hours after. So my question: when you hit a brick wall both physically and mentally how HOW do you cope? I would love to hear from anyone. Judy
Hi @muffie sorry to hear you’re finding things a struggle at the moment and feeling low. Wish there were some magical words I could say to make you feel better. All I can say is while people around you don’t understand how you’re feeling on here we do, so you’re not alone. I find it very difficult when I’m feeling low to do much about it - it’s like a stubborn grey cloud hanging over me. But just like the sun can peek through the clouds I will find something small will bring me pleasure or make me smile...and things feel a little better even if just for a short while. Hope things feel a bit better for you too
You are very kind and took a lot from your words @ss17. Thank you. Yes it’s true that things can turn out better some days I just wish things would settle down but I don’t think my MS wants to play ball at the moment.
