Doing too much
Hey ms fam,
What does your “too much” look like? This is still the hardest thing for me. I was very active and still am—but I have limits now that I didn’t before and if I pass them my symptoms flare for days after. Specifically this is what happens to me—this weekend I had some emotionally heavy stuff happen and I hiked a mountain with steepness levels that made me question if I could keep going. In the before ms times, I would just be sore and maybe a little tired today. But now, the day after, my symptoms are flaring—tight throat and nausea likes as well as crushing fatigue. For me, the emotionally taxing stuff can cause pseudo flares worse than the physical! Wanted to share my specifics as I know this was and still a hard concept to grasp. Cheers and keep your chin up!
Well congrats on multi-tasking and achievements, but this diagnosis is another way God tells us to slow/sit the heck down & enjoy even the simple things right here in front of us. Our lifecycles run parallel to everyone else's but it doesn't mean we're out. We just need to form teams and partnerships to achieve our end-goal achievements or missions. Definitely organization and fast implementations are better and more needed due to our MS diagnosis but we're no where near to far from our finales
I just went to a 3 day music festival then slept for 16 hours when I got home. I’ve learned that I can push through pretty good as long as I give myself a good break afterwards. Seems like the more I push the better my endurance gets. Still get flares but I just keep pushing. I’m gonna get flares either way I figure I might as well do some dope shit in the process
