I have been experiencing tingling in my left hand on and off for the past few days. This is a sign of MS and likely will show more brain lesions on my next MRI.
I am going to call my nurses, just to give them a heads up, but I don’t think that there is really anything that they can do. This is the first symptom that I have felt since starting Tecfidera. I am not sure how I feel about that — I was hopeful that if I was taking seriously strong drugs that I wouldn’t have any symptoms. So that’s kind of the shits.
Still making small improvements on the condo every day. I need to get back into painting but I am so tired that it seems daunting when I get off work.
I am finally starting to get back into a routine again since moving. It’s important that I keep up on my exercises and walks both for my mental and physical health. for a while I just gave up on tracking my meals and found myself quickly making bad decisions.
My new birth control seems to be working well. I should start my period this week and haven’t had any early surprises yet! Last time I increased the estrogen in my pill, I had very scary side effects and ended up in emergency with what I thought was a heart attack but turned out to be a panic attack. Happy to say that this has not been my experience at all so far with this pill.
Today, I am thankful that I do not have depression or severe anxiety. More and more people in my life are so negatively impacted by depression and I am so thankful that this is not the case for me. MS can cause depression and I do have sad days for sure but it is not crippling like it is in some people’s lives. It breaks my heart to see people I care about struggle with this. It is eye opening to see how many people are suffering.. I guess the world is a mess right now so it makes sense.
Also, fuck Justin. No update on this one but he used to read my Blog, so just a quick fuck you in case he ever decides to check in. I obviously do not think that he was in a severe car accident – I simply believe that he no longer wants to speak to me.
