Today's Numbers

Sensory:

-Pins and needles: 1 for the most part, except that they show up quickly (I would severity 4) if I sit a certain way or prop my feet on the coffee table--right foot is worse, but left will be through the leg as well as the foot

-Tingles: 5 for a while this evening, and I thought I was getting sick. But then I started feeling better, so I have no idea what to think. Aside from that hour or so, tingles were a 1 today.

-Paresthesias (burning): 3

-Paresthesias (other): 1 some random vibrations in my feet depending on position

-Numbness: 1

-Vision: 1, still have floaters but haven't bothered me too much--getting lighter?

-Nerve pain: 3 down my left leg

Motor:

-Gait: 4

-Sore muscles: 1 (funny, didn't notice it much today if I had it)

-Fine motor: 1

-Weak muscles: 4

-Twitches: once today--leg but now I forget which. Probably left.

Cognitive:

-Language processing: 0

-Memory: 4

-Attention: 1

-Confusion: 4, and I think I have been under-rating this for a while. I get confused all the time. Almost every time I start to do something, I forget what I was going to do. I have to be vigilant not to take the wrong freeway exit. That kind of thing. Today I ordered too many sushi rolls (I did have a good reason for eating out on Sunday), and then my friend told me hello, we normally share two and you ordered six for three people. Uhhh... I was thinking that we always order two each. But when she said it, I realized she was right. We do share two. It was just sushi, so not a big deal, but the little things are adding up.

-Impulsivity: I don't know, because I didn't drive anywhere. ;)

General:

-Fatigue: 7 all afternoon and evening wanted to SLEEP until around 8:30 perked up. WEIRD!

-Balance: 4, going down stairs is pretty hard. My friend noticed today at church as I came from the podium.

-Sleep: 2, got 8.5 hours

-Bladder: 3, same old same old except also cloudy this evening

-Anxiety: 0

Grieving: Reading some in "MS for Dummies" about it. Reminded me how I feel about it... which stirred up those feelings. But I'm not examining them now, because it's after 10:00 pm. If I can't sleep, I'll work on grieving. {rolling my eyes} Is this really my life?
