Run around

I'm extremely frustrated with my neurologist rn. I went to orthopedic to have pain in my arm checked out.

This week has been a lot, and I’m definitely feeling it, but I wanted to share a little update.Between running my massage business, which I love, and multiple doctor’s appointments, I’ve been pushed in ways I didn’t expect. My MRI was tough and brought on a panic attack, but I got through it. The good news is that overall, everything looked great aside from some known issues in my neck, and I’m so thankful for that.After a lot of prayer and thought, I’ve decided to move forward with a new treatment plan. It’s a step toward getting back to feeling like myself again.I’m tired, but I’m hopeful. Taking it one day at a time and trusting the process.

Why do I feel like I want to run away

I’m becoming tired of the people around me. I just want to run away. Why do I feel like this? Am I the only one?

I was diagnosed with MS 6 months ago. Because the neurologists said it was an aggressive type they stared me on B-cell therapy 2 months later. I know that because I’m in the middle of treatment it’s very unlikely that I’m having a relapse. It’s so hard to know what is happening with my body because it’s all so new. I feel like there is something definetly wrong with my body but it feels mole like aches that the fist episode which was mainly numbing of the legs. It’s so hard to know when to seek medical attention. I feel like my symptoms seem so random now but I feel like something is not right. How do you all decide when you just let it run it course or when to go to the hospital

I see a lot of comments about exercise. When I was first diagnosed I could not walk more than 5 feet. I was in great shape prior to my 7 week hospital stay. As time went on I got stronger by doing cardio with weights (no more than 10 pounds). I have access to a treadmill and now do a walk/run on the treadmill and it's actually my "pain medication of choice!" I do skip a day every 3 or 4 weeks to let my body recover and replenish. I also really watch my diet avoiding fats and salt which isn't good for you anyway. Id happily help any of my MS Sisters & Brothers with fitness. It gets into your mind and keeps the stress down. I work out first thing in the morning after I eat a high source of protein such as an egg or cottage cheese with fruit. After my workout I eat a serving of oatmeal with chia seeds and fruit. The chia seeds have a high source of protein and fiber which keeps you regular. Gimme a shout out!
