Well, Today Is Day 40 Of This Most Recent Exacerbation!
And i'm getting sick and tired of feeling sick and tired!

As many of you know, i've got MS. Well, today broke through to the 2nd longest exacerbation in the 12+ years i've had it. I've had more severe flare-ups, where the pain was more intense and the fatigue more profound. But, this is now getting really, really old! 6 and half weeks, for goodness sake!

Not that anybody can do anything about it. I still figure it will subside and i'll be back to "normal". (Normal is just heavy legs and a constant burning sensation from the knees down.)

Just wanted to complain in public.

3. Thanks Folks!
Like Wilford Brimley said in "Absence of Malice". Ain't nobody to see. I wish there was, though!

All i can do is ride it out i guess. I think right now, it's the mental side that's really bugging me. Just getting tedious to go this long with it.

There but for the grace of DOG and all that.

Having lived with MS in my family and friends, I wish you all the pyschic strength my headache will allow me to muster.

9. Oh Headaches Are Super Tough, Too!
I'm not plagued with them like some people, but i get the every so often migraines. They really hurt! Thanks for your support, but i don't envy you for those headaches.

You and me, we'll suffer and complain together.

13. Hang in there, Professor.
It will pass, although the long bouts are probably scary as well as painful. And always feel free to rant in the Lounge. We're here for you :hug:

15. I was thinking about you just today.
I'm playing in a tournament the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

I'm sorry you're not well. Hope this will pass soon.
