I’ve had MS for 10 years. All of us sudden I have a little weakness/small limp. Can this be the beginning of foot drop?

Left sided weakness today

So something unusual kind of happened this morning. Usually it's my right side that goes out but this morning it was my left side. I'm so over MS.

Baclofen and muscle weakness

I started baclofen last week, initially 5mg once a day (evening), increased to 10mg today, for horrible right leg spasms in the evening.

Cladribine/Mavenclad Year 1. I took my first week or Y1 last week. I don't feel sick or have a headache today but I am absolutely exhausted. My bones feel tired and I'm moving around in slow motion. Did anyone experience this in the week after your first round? I'm working from home but it is taking a herculean strength of mind. I've had interferons and dopamine years ago, azathiapron for 8 years and then 4 months of Tysabri (until I had an allergic reaction). All this to say, this isnt my first treatment experience but this one seems to have wiped me out. Is it just me or are there any other kindred spirits out there? I'd be really grateful for any shared experience and also experience of managing work through treatment weeks.

Spent the past few days getting ready to have our apartment fogged and the guy doesn't show up until after 4pm. Nope nope. Rescheduled for next week. We are having rain showers of and on and I'm in no mood to stay up all night and airing out the place into the evening. They were supposed to be here at 9am. Fast food for dinner because everything else is boxed up. Just going to watch the Olympics until I'm ready to go to bed for the night. Not the worst day but definitely not happy.
