Re: So badly need input at this time

It's really hard to say. Lately I have been experiencing a lot of cognitive problems (like I can't remember anything from like 6pm on everyday. I am completely blanking on everything. Also, I have learned that there are some uncomfortable symptoms of MS that are just that symptoms and not an exascerbation. The more rest you can get the better. Can you basically quit everything as soon as you get home from work? Get into jammies have easy dinner and rest the rest of the night. To help you fight the big days you have at work. Let us know what the doctor says! This disease is really hard. For many years I suffered one way and then it was great for a long time and now it's always there and turning on me in new and harder ways. Only your doctor can tell if it is symptoms or a new exacerbation. Good luck with

the doctor. onesmartcookie77 wrote: Hello, everyone. I am a 39yr old F. Live in FL. I was Dxd in March2007.

{{{}}} It is hard to say when a symptom is going to go away. With RRMS, I have found that some symptoms last for several weeks. Some for several months. And then, there are some, that just don't go away. If you are only having a flare up, they usually disappear fairly quickly. Exacerbations tend to last longer. Now, this is how MS used to work for me. I say used to, because I believe my MS has progressed, leaving me with some long-term effects that have lasted for well over a year. MS as you may know, is not the same for everyone. When we refer to it as the MonSter, this is one reason why. It is so unpredictable. I'm sorry if I just made you feel worse. Really. I'll lift you in prayer and think positive

thoughts that you will go into remission quickly. Love and blessings... Val wrote: Hello, everyone. I am a 39yr old F. Live in FL. I was Dxd in March2007.

Hi ,

Are you not happy with the Neuro you have? Are you able to see someone else?

I got such a kick out of this: "so I am aggressively doing yoga in an effort to keep me calm."

LOL Now that appeals to my sense of humor! LOL

Do you go to a "class" or do the Yoga yourself at home? With a DVD/VHS, or from memory or... ?

I do hope these symtoms will ease for you very soon.

HUGS,

Challis
