Heat and My MS Symptoms

I think that any person with multiple sclerosis could write a book about their symptoms.  Today, after my treatment this weekend, I seem to be in no better shape.  Maybe it was my treatment, maybe its the increase in the barometer. I don't know.  What I do know is that I have Mom duties today and I don't really think I am able.

As the temperature rises so do MS symptoms.  My MS symptoms today include: fatigue, inappropriate cold body parts, though the temperature is going up, and extreme dizziness.   And, I am grateful that I don't have too much thinking today because I am having problems with cognitive dysfunction.  My problem is memory problems and a real problem with forgetfulness and slow word recall.  In my case, real slow word recall. And since I hate MS and the symptoms that have flared, their is that problem with depression.  It's a terrible thing when MS symptoms come back with a vengeance.

As my MS progresses, I am under the realization that I may need a caregiver, I may need someone to come to my house, and like today, I need someone to run around and do chores for me.  Again, today, I feel like a burden to my family.  It's a beautiful day and my options to care for my kids are limited.  I feel bad for my husbands because a caregivers job is seemingly never done.  But, I will muddle through this day. Pray that all goes well and pray that all goes well.
