Mind willing, body not!
My house is more of a mess than usual. But it is the schools hols.
Each day I think, today I must do this or that, but something seems to get in the way. Today I thought I must clean the lounge, you can write yor name in the dust! Did manage to dust and vac, though I would have a cuppa- decaff, and then carry on tidying and cleaning but got terrible pain and aches in my quad muscles. Managed to make lunch, but don't think I have the energy to make tea!
So looks like it will be takeaway tonight, not good for my expanding waist line, put on a stone since taking Amitriptyline.
Finding it hard to do even 'normal' things, I drag myself out of bed, make breakfast, load the washing machine and I am wrecked. I push myself to do what has to be done. Starting to depress me now.
Any hints or tips?
Sat here looking at some washing I did earlier in the week, now needs ironing and putting away, but the thought of it makes me tried. I feel so lazy but even though my head is half way there by body just isn't.
I liked what you said, Heather! I'm a Heather, too. There is always that battle of "am I lazy or is this MS fatigue?" Whatever the case, the clothes aren't gonna wash themselves! My cure has been Adderall! There is also Amantadine and Provigil. Adderall doesn't make me shakey like caffeine does. It just gives me a natural feeling of energy. I can do my chores and even walk for an hour most days. Good luck. Hope this helps!
I got upset when I first found out, mainly because I have a daughter (9) and the thought of how it would effect her later in life got to me. She lives with her mum and I see her from time to time, she knows what I've got but is still too young to really take it onboard I think.
