Relapsing
I'm currently in the midst of a relapse of my MS, not had one for 6 years so it's been a shock to say the least.
I currently can't feel my face on my left side and have pins & needles and numbness in my fingers so hard to pick anything up.
Can't walk too far as the effort is immense and very tiring.
I'm only 6 days in and it feels like an eternity, I usually take care of myself, go to the gym, work full time, and I'm so impatient to be well again.
Kinda hoping things start to look up soon as I feel very down and vulnerable at the moment.
I hadn't had a relapse in almost 10 years, I woke up to the right side of my body numb. I could tell it was getting better until I took a shower the next day and it started all over again. I decided I need help, I called my neuro and he gave me some steroids. He wanted to do a infusion of steroids but I had a bad experience with a steroid shot so he gave me pills. He said the infusions helps you get over the relapse faster. The pills worked for me with in a week I wasn't dragging my right leg anymore. You may need to get some help. Potter
I'm currently 3 weeks in to a similar relapse down my left side. Everyone keeps telling me to rest, but as a gym goer myself I'm finding it really hard. I'm doing pilates with resistance bands do I feel like I'm doing something. Done circuits without any weights this morning as I can't lift anything on my left side, its do weak. I know my fatigue will kick in soon and I'll pay for trying to be 'normal'. Hang in there X
