Hump day blues

Its Wednesday August 16, 2006 and here is my bitch for today

I woke up feeling even weaker than I did when I went to bed last night. This is a major problem. I can't even explain it really - the closest I can get is that my arms and legs feel like they each weigh a hundred pounds. Its so hard to lift them and I have to think about each movement and really MAKE it happen.

I have the awful feeling of electricity going from my left elbow down through my two middle fingers.

When I look down I have a shock that runs right down my spine and tickles my ass... Ok.. kinda funny - but generally just annoying as hell. Makes it extremely difficult to walk down stairs because my left leg gets - either really weak when this happens - or looses some of its feeling and I can't move it well... I am NOT good at telling what is going on in my own body I just know the shit doesn't work right.

I have a lovely gray spot in my left eye.. Right in the center of my vision its filled with gray.. I can't see through it - when I get hot it gets bigger. Normally when I cool off this goes away but its hung out for a few weeks now - I pray it isn't going to be here forever but I am starting to look at that as a possibility.

along with the electricity in my left hand it tingles so that it gives the feeling of bugs crawling across your skin. Its annoying and for some reason I can't get my brain to remember its NOT bugs.. I keep slapping at it.. Thinking I will eventually kill those fucking bugs.. But there is nothing there. Its great to feel insane so early in the morning.

Depression??? Mild to moderate - its hard to not be upset when you can't do the things you want to - but at the same time I just need to find ways around this.. ways that won't harm my already damaged body.

Let the logging begin

This isn't going to get exciting - you probably should not bookmark this blog. I'm just using this space to note how my body feels each day ( if I can remember ).

I suck at keeping track - or remembering what has happened when I finally do get to the doctors office. I need something to look back on.

So.... If you are looking for funny - entertaining or even just interesting this might not be the best blog to check back on. Unless you care to read about how BORING life with Multiple Sclerosis really is. How odd and unpredictable it can be. Or what a general pain in the ass it is for those who live with it - and the family that lives with them.

So, if you care to stick around ... welcome... to my little corner of hell.
