Relapsing

Starting to go a little stir crazy from my current relapse. Sick of being stuck at home feeling like crap! It's been about 20 days since this relapse officially started, and I really thought I'd start to see some improvement by now. My legs only seem to have gotten worse. I know the steroids need time to do their job, but I can't help but get a little scared that it's going to stay this way... I'm just so sick of being at home all the time, and I'm frustrated that things haven't really improved. I've been doing things like blogging to vent my frustrations, which helps, but I'm just starting to get scared that it's going to stay this way and I'm struggling with staying positive about it all.. Saw an occupational therapist through my MS clinic yesterday and she is setting up some Physio for me, and I'm trying to keep a positive attitude about it all but I can't help but worry...
@Stumbler

I can understand you going stir crazy, but getting frustrated isn't going to help the situation. The brain needs to be able to switch off, or go into power-saving mode, so that it can concentrate on your recovery. You need to carry on doing what you're doing, in your safe environment. Hopefully, the physio will be with you soon and they can monitor your progress. Hang in there, Melissa.
