Week 44 of MS Symptoms-No Meds, no dreads

I’ve been medication free for two weeks and I can honestly say I feel better than I have in a really long time. The only symptoms that I have been dealing with is the loss of vision in my left eye, hearing in my left ear and some minor brain fade and numbness. I haven’t had any tremors, no cramping in my legs, I can use both hands 90% of the time and no slurred speech. I have been able to go to the gym every day that I have wanted to and done what I have wanted to. The only issue I have had is being really tired but I chalk that up to my body trying to heal from the effects of the medications. My therapist said some of that may be my brain needing rest from all the changes I have went through in the past five months. I have been through a lot and sometimes I don’t realize that I need to take that time to slow down and assess what is going on. MS symptoms get worse when you are under stress. Although I try to stay very positive I have dealt with a great deal stress lately and it is starting to slow down and I am find my new grove if you will. I love having my daughter living with me but putting two strong will women in one small apartment there will be some issues. But we work through it. Eat a lot of pickles, talk a lot try to find common ground to keep the peace. I guess being 14 is tough these days but so is being nearly 45 dealing with a new lifestyle no one prepares for. We just figure things out as we go. I figure things out each day and grow stronger. I am hopeful that this new found energy is here with me for the long haul. I have to believe it is. And I still need people to walk with me April 22nd in Indy for the MS walk! Go TEAM JENN!
