MS rears it’s ugly head… Again!

Ay caramba!
Oi vey!
Good grief!
Jesus Maria!

I am so tired of feeling bad. I’m incredibly fatigued in general. My legs are heavy – it’s tough to move around as much as I would like to. I’m limping on the left if I move around a lot. My right eye is bothering me again. My left arm is dis-coordinated. I’m having a bit of trouble finding words. This is so incredibly frustrating!

Although today is better than yesterday and the day before and the day before, so it goes to show you how bad things have been since last Friday.

Please let Monday come soon, and pray that Gilenya works for me! I need some stability in my life and stability with this disease!

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.
