Happy Saturday, y’all😊! It is SO nice to have a weekend because as I said in my post yesterday, this week has been extremely grueling! I do believe some of the reasons the week felt so long is because of the headache I experienced for three days. Of course, this is nothing new as I have dealt with them since I was a small child. No matter how many years I have had mean headaches, they never get easier and I never get used to them. There is a small part of me that thinks the headaches continue to occur because my eyes are getting worse and I do have an eye appointment this afternoon, so hopefully, it is my eyes and nothing else.
Of all the issues I deal with living with Multiple Sclerosis, many of them are manageable. Just because they are manageable, does not mean that are easy or always tolerable. My legs end up bothering me more at night or when it rains. This just seems a common trend. There have been a few times when they bothered me bad enough to cause pain when sitting, needless to say much more painful than it is to stand or walk. Unfortunately, there is nothing that helps. I used to think the heating pad or a hot bath helped, but it makes it more intense. Since nothing helps, it certainly does NO good to dwell on it or even cry about it.
What is your favorite part of the weekend? I mean the obvious is there are no work or alarm clocks😊! I am just wondering if there are any other reasons why you love the weekend. Of course, the weekends are short, so it is important to make the most of every moment. Although I rarely sleep past my normal 7:00 AM time, I do still love knowing I do not have to get up and if I want, I can take a nap! I love knowing I have two days that I am able to do what I want, and I am not being forced to do something that I do not want to do.
Thank you for visiting my site today. I am sure you are just as happy as I am that the week is over and we can enjoy the weekend, but I hope you have a wonderful and safe weekend! I hope you enjoyed what I have shared today and I look forward to reading your comments. I will respond to all comments as quickly as I can. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!
Always, Alyssa

It is a “Family Day” weekend here, so Monday is a Stat holiday! A little bonus! I relate to you about headaches, sometimes I am surprised at how long I go without one, and wonder why, and other times they are so regular and I wonder why? Lol. Saturdays right now are a rest in bed and sleep as I can day, after working all week. My last visit to neuro was a bit of a shock on that he felt I should start another dmd after last two MRIS had small lesions and I have been reporting enough “different” or “new” symptoms to consider being relapsed. It’s okay! I can do this! And hopefully the new med will improve health overall.

I am glad you get a little bonus day and hope you enjoy it! Headaches are awful and I would not wish them on my worst enemy. Did your neuro say what DMD he thinks you should try? I hope the new medication works out well for you and your next MRI will be better.

Sadly I’m not enjoying the weekend. I caught a virus (not covid, I tested) from someone at work. Why do people insist on coming in to work when they’re sick?! I had to cancel my mom’s birthday party 😣

I am sorry you caught a virus, but I am glad it is not COVID. I will never understand why people go to work when they know they are sick. It seems selfish because then others like you get sick. I am so sorry and hope you get well soon!
