My M.S. is acting up this week, REALLY, REALLY BAD!
My legs are on FIRE! They are spasming almost constantly since Monday night, i feel i could light a cigar on my shin, and they feel like they weigh about 500# a piece.
Stiff and tight, and hurting like heck.
Don't need sympathy. Just wanted to complain. The Professor

1. Wouldn't it be a nifty thing |
|

3. Now, That Would Be Fun! |
|
Actually, it's quite OK around here. But, it would be fun to send some of my pain to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. It might change their perspective on things. The Professor

7. I Don't Get Much Sleep |
|
I've gotten about 12 hours since Monday afternoon. It's hard when the legs buck like i'm a mule or something every 3 minutes.
The acute symptoms will subside like they usually do, but right now it's really pissin' me off. The Professor

Hope you don't mind me doing the praying thing, but 'can't hurt/might help'. ;-)

What a bizarre condition! I know a little about MS from my work with a disability organization. Just wondering if you're on the ABCs or any medication to relieve those symptoms.

It's worked for 8 years now. These flare-ups have always been temporary, and when they go away i come back to the same baseline i've been at for 9 years. (The only thing that's never gone away is the left eye blindness.) The Professor
