I can't figure out what the heck is going on with me.
Beginning at about 9:30 last night, I needed to urinate about every 30 minutes. That went on until almost midnight. Then it was every hour. I have slept a grand total of two hours so far--and not even two hours straight!
Between getting up to use the bathroom (sometimes just as I'm about to fall asleep), feeling like my feet are burning (now it's both, and it's becoming painful), and my heart going through periods of pounding, it's just impossible to sleep right now.
The bladder issues are worrisome but mostly annoying. Am I not fully emptying my bladder? Is there something else going on that is making me produce more urine--suddenly tonight? Coming off the steroids?
How long do the side effects last for a five-day course of steroids?
Feet burning suuuuuuuuucks. Nothing else to say about that. Oh, yes there is: it makes me feel like I might be crazy.
I'm having sensation problems up the pinky side of my left hand. Or the muscle is contracting? It's hard to tell. Mild, whatever it is.
Now let's talk heart pounding: I could be wrong, but I am assuming this is psychological. I don't feel anxious about anything in particular, but maybe it's sort of a generalized anxiety. It seems to come and go without warning and without relationship to what I am thinking about. It isn't the hot feeling spreading across my chest that I identified (not happily) a few weeks ago as anxiety. It's just my heart beating out of my chest.
My vertigo continues. Getting worse? I don't want to say until it's light outside and I can compare apples with apples.
My throat hurts, which gives me hope. Maybe I'm just sick on top of having MS.
Trying to remember what to talk with Dr. Gabby about...
1. Vertigo continues (worsens?)
2. Vision--see an ophthalmologist? Is the person I saw before an optometrist or an ophthalmologist?
3. Bladder
4. Rash
5. Plan???
Ack, one more thing. Weird back pain. High on the right side of my back. Started yesterday afternoon.
