Well one more day of treatment! I'm having a hard time believing this is going to be permanent. I can't descibe the numbness over my entire body. I never realized what people with ms were talking about but when I have the same numbness inside and outside of my body, I now know. Things have to get better. It has been a long couple of weeks. I don't understand how people do this without family to help with driving, cooking, and errands. I am so thankful to be blessed with mine. Tomorrow will be a better day!

The First Blog of The New Year

What better way to begin the new year than the birth of our newest family member. Ellie Elizabeth was born Jan. 5th. Born on a record high temperature of 65 degrees. A wonderful day. Ellie was named after her great grandmother, my mom. Well this blog is coming in the middle of another ms relaspe. We have been so busy since the last blog. We moved to the country. It has been a great thing. I love living in the country. I have a huge picture window with a wood burning fireplace so i have been able to watch deer and snow at the same time, while staying warm. I am waiting on my neurologist to call this morning. I explained to his nurse yesterday, I haved waited 12 days to call again. Hoping the flare of symptoms would get better on its own. No luck. I am numb from head to toe. My eyes do not feel the blinking, can't feel my feet nor my hands. My muscles are stiff all over. The pain all over is worse than ever before. I know my good luck has came to an end. My entire body is now effected by ms. My bloodwork says normal. What a joke. Too bad it all shows everything is normal. Proves I cannot be treated by my family doctor. I am sure today of all days, with the temperatures down to 15 degrees, 3 new inches of snow, wind chills of -2, a sick child, I will be going somehow to get the pic line for 5 days of steroids. That is the usual treatment to stop the inflamation during a relapse. The next 10 days will be a challenge. It may help but sure comes with a lot of side effects. I pray after this relaps the numbness will go away. Hopefully I can feel close to normal again. It's killing me to be dependent on my family to drive me around, and do the most simple things for me. I am happy I have time to blog, but not happy I have changes to blog. Ms is such a challenge. Hopefully this will be the only relaps for the year.
