Great Day!

Today was weird. I had a rough morning, even worse early afternoon, then got better and had a great evening.

Sensory:

-Pins and needles: 2, lower limbs

-Tingles: 0

-Paresthesias (burning): 0 I think

-Paresthesias (other): 1, some crawly/tingly feelings in my lower left back/butt

-Numbness: 2, usual spots plus semi-numb left thumb. Random.

-Vision: 1

-Nerve pain: 4, it was really bugging me this morning. I was sitting and ironing for a service project, and my left leg was hurting and feeling weird... like almost numb. After an hour or so, it got better.

Motor:

-Gait: 2, sometimes my legs weren't listening, weren't going as fast as I expected

-Sore muscles: 3, definitely sore when I try to use them--calves especially, also quads

-Fine motor: 3, still dropping stuff.. I don't know

-Weak muscles: 5, definitely an issue. Opening doors, carrying stuff, walking up stairs, etc.

-Spasticity: 2, still just in my legs

Cognitive:

-Language processing: 1

-Memory: 2

-Attention: 0

-Confusion: 1

General:

-Fatigue: 1-7, I was ok (3) for a when I woke up and went to the service project, where I was asked to iron. I knew that I could not stand for more than five minutes, so I grabbed a chair and lowered the ironing board. It was hard to iron because my arms are not very strong, but I did ok energy wise. Then toward the end of the event, I got tired. Driving home I felt very tired. When I arrived home, I flopped on the couch for several hours. That would be the 7 time. But I got better. Resting all afternoon must have helped. In the evening I felt really good! I would seriously say fatigue 1 for a while.

-Balance: 3

-Sleep: 2, eight hours

-Bladder: 2

I was really disappointed that my shrink canceled on me an hour before our appointment. She said she would call me this afternoon to reschedule, but she did not. I was really looking forward to seeing her.
