Patsy's got a cold and he's snotty and coughy and I think it's really affecting my balance and pins and needles, in that I'm waking up at the moment in bed with full body pins and needles, which isn't nice at all.
Just thought I'd log it.

This is good isn't it?  I've not written for well over a year and things have not really got worse.  They've limped along quite nicely really.  I've had my fatigued days and generally this happens over the weekend, typically, but all in all, it's been good..... Until now.  I thought I should log the fact that very slightly, I've had the feeling of heat running up my spine, my neck and over my head.  It could be a hot flush as I'm nearing that age, but I thought I'd log it as I've had it before I started writing this blog and I need to keep in touch with what's going on in my body.  Apart from that, it's all good.

Nothing happened yet! Even with Swine Flu floating around, I've not succumbed. And I Wont!

Well, this isn't really about an attack. I had a visit from my physio yesterday and she went through a few exercises that I need to do to strengthen my right leg, knee and hip. She said that she didn't think someone like me - who used to bodyboard, ride horses, cycle and generally be very active - would get so down with my leg and that I should keep up the pressure on myself to make it better. I told her in no uncertain terms that I'd been keeping up the pressure for nearly a decade with a fulltime job, family, home, social life etc. She backed down quite quickly. It's only been since I'd had more intervention, that I've been feeling my illness and I think the difference is that I'm beginning to come to terms with it. I don't think that's wrong, I think it's the way it should be.
Anyway, she bugged me and so I'm going to see what more I can do with exercise. I should go swimming more and I should go horseriding, so watch this space.

I've just almost recovered from my last MS attack which has lasted 3 weeks. During the attack, I was dizzy, couldn't sit straight without a chair back behind me, couldn't walk, couldn't go for more than an hour without a wee, was very sad and very needy. That sort of thing could just be my age more than anything else, but I think not.
I thought I'd log everytime I feel a bit queer and I'm amazed that I haven't been up till now. Never mind. Hopefully this blog will be very quiet and I'll get well miraculously....
