Upward battle...

Being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis is a crazy ride, but I don't really have a choice getting off this ride. It's new everyday. Some days I feel overwhelmed because so much is going on, some days it like there is nothing wrong with me.

Today is not one of those days!

I have been having seizure like cognitive issues (Eric likes to call it bizarro Kierston) and of course I don't remember anything about anything during those time periods. Also on the menu for crazy symptoms is I am having trouble talking, like stuttering almost. It's quite frustrating especially when I want to get something out. For instance, when Kia is doing something she shouldn't be doing and I can't just say, "Kia, No!" it comes out more like. "Kkkkk-iiii-aaa, no! " Yeah, now tell me that's fun. Also this cramping in my foot has go to go away. I have Baclofen (an anti-spasmodic) but am I allowed to take it, yeah that would be a big fat NO! Why you ask, oh well great question. Let's answer that.

So on December 25, 2012 I was diagnosed with an Exasperation of my MS and was given Solu-medrol, and a lot of it. So this medicine basically slowed down my liver, and now well my liver is struggling. So no more "unnecessary" medications for Kierston. Last time, I checked when my foot cramps so bad it folds over I don't see that as unnecessary, but try telling my doctor that.

Oh well, today would be considered a bad day. That means lots of rest and unfortunately no fun. See you soon bloggers.
