Monday completely ripped me apart. I have a cold and the fatigue is all consuming. Fatigue in MS is quite common, and it is a whole body slump, but this, this is so much worse than I have ever felt. My legs ache from fatigue, my brain is muddled and my whole body just wants to curl up and hibernate for 100 years. I have never felt this bad. And to top it off, the cold is an additional annoyance which I can’t fight easily without an immune system. Am feeling very sorry for myself.
Last week was MS Awareness week here in the UK, and I completely missed it due to being a little preoccupied with my own battle. I try every day to raise awareness of this disease, one way or another. Whether or not it’s this blog, learning a bit more about it myself, or telling someone something else about what can happen to people with it, I am passionate about sharing the knowledge. Like I’ve said in earlier posts, when I was diagnosed, I had no clue what it was or what it was going to mean. To me, to my family and friends. If any of this blog has helped anyone understand it a little more, then I am happy.
So I’m lying here on my couch, feeling sorry for myself. And very slowly typing this up, as the brain isn’t quite functioning normally (complete brain fog), hoping this doesn’t last too long and I can get back to work. I’m bored, and want to get back to normal life already.
