In a week or so, I’ll know if I have been infected.

Back on Gilenya… again
I’m so incredibly tired and sleepy tonight. I started back on my Gilenya today and am wondering if it’s making me more sleepy.
I have been off of it for the past 10 days. I had developed a bad cough, and they weren’t sure if it was a side-effect of the Gilenya or a remnant cough from my illness. The cough finally went away over this past week, and now I am back on the med.
Hopefully, the cough stays away, else I will have to go off Gilenya permanently.
Back at Christmas time I was off of it for 4 days because I was sick and then went back on until this latest break.
MS to 5K?
I’d give anything to run again. Not that I was a runner… ever… but I was able to run once a long time ago. I also used to dance and workout regularly.
Now, I just want to be able to even speed walk without limping. I have good days and bad. My good days are awesome and I can jog a little. I even started participating in Zumba classes on Mondays, where I last about 15-20 minutes before my left leg starts to give out. But then I have bad days sometimes where I am limping after just a few minutes of walking. I am wondering if I should just keep pushing through these “bad” days and just keep walking (or limping) my way to running a 5K one day. I mean, you’d think that if I’d keep up with it that eventually my left leg would play nice and get strong enough to allow me to be as active as I want to be.
MS to 5K, or rather Couch to 5K, seems to be something that’s been running (pun totally intended) through my head lately.
