Better Today

Today was much better than the last week... thank goodness. I went through periods where I felt very sick, and then I would be sort of okay. Just MS-y. The sick feeling is different, and I still wonder if it has to do with blood sugar or if I've caught a bug.

Sensory:
-Pins and needles: 2--feet
-Tingles: 3
-Paresthesias: 3, some burning in my right heel and left ball of foot
-Numbness: 2? burning makes it hard to notice other feelings (or lack of) in the usual area
-Vision: 2--it was okay this morning, then got blurry rather suddenly around noon. But not as bad as it was.

Motor:
-Gait: 1
-Sore muscles: 7, the backs of both legs, especially knees--spasticity
-Fine motor: 2
-Weak muscles: 4

Cognitive:
-Language processing: 1
-Memory: 0
-Attention: 1
-Confusion: 2, waxed and waned with sick feeling

General:
-Fatigue: 5
-Balance: 4, still walking like a drunk person at night
-Sleep: 2--got almost 8 hours but woke up several times to use the bathroom or get over a nightmare
-Bladder: 3 I guess
-Anxiety: 3
-Vertigo: 1, only happened a couple of times

My legs seriously HURT. Feels like cords along the backs of my knees are being pulled tight. Painfully tight. My quads are also tight, though not as bad as the tendons along the backs of my knees.

Look how much better my cognition is when I get enough sleep.
