Doing Better

Today was better than yesterday across the board.

I avoided sitting as much as possible, as compression of the sciatic nerve makes the burning worse. I have been sleeping on my stomach for a few weeks now because of this.

Sensory:

-Pins and needles: 2

-Tingles: 1

-Paresthesias (burning): 6

-Paresthesias (other): 1

-Numbness: 3, hands, feet

-Vision: 3, no change

-Nerve pain: 5

Motor:

-Gait: 1

-Sore muscles: 2

-Fine motor: 2

-Weak muscles: 4

-Spasticity: 2

Cognitive:

-Language processing: 1

-Memory: 1, but I am beginning to wonder if I am the best judge of this. Three times today I had people say, "I just told you..." or "Remember I said..." And I did not talk to that many people!

-Attention: 0

-Confusion: 1

General:

-Fatigue: 3

-Balance: 2

-Sleep: 5, seven hours altogether, but that included waking up several times and staying up for at least an hour one time. I had had a very odd dream, which I wanted to think about. 

-Bladder: 2, I noticed that any little leaks are with "stress" situations (not emotional stress). But it only happened twice today anyway.
