Summer has officially came to an end. The kids were anxiously waiting to get on the bus, but the first day of school can be a stressful time for parents. Especially parents with ms. Preparing for school takes time, energy, and money. With those 3 words comes stress. I am always excited for a new school year, but we get so busy with homework, early drop offs, late pickups. Fun or stress?
With the gilenya, I made it through the first 7 days. Taking this new pill has made a difficult week. School starting and the new medicine. What was I thinking? Maybe I should say I wasn't thinking. I have had most of the side effects that go with gilenya, but also the ms symptoms have been much worse. I just have to trust my neurologist that gilenya is the best for me right now.
All the information about ms now is exercise, exercise. I have tried both relaxing and exercise. I know that moving does help with muscle stiffness, but it also makes resting essential. And I am not a good "rester." Ms keeps my life and walking so out of balance. This is so unpredictable. At this point, I sometimes have to wonder what's the difference in a good day and a bad day? Then I am reminded of one important detail, Jesus only makes good days.
