A Good Day

Aside from anxiety about the doctor appointment, I had a really good day.


Sensory:

-Pins and needles: 4, right calf and foot, left foot, and other places on my lower limbs when sitting

-Tingles: 0? Didn't pay attention

-Paresthesias (burning): 2, left foot

-Paresthesias (other): 0

-Numbness: 3

-Vision: 1, floaters, focusing--totally forgot to mention that light night (or the night before?) I saw the weird, closing-off light footballs again. From what someone else on the MS forum said, they are called phosphenes. And I am annoyed to find out that they happen with optic neuritis. Too bad my [FORMER] ophthalmologist did not believe me about them before, hm?

-Nerve pain: 2, left leg and foot

Motor:

-Gait: 3, slow and weird. I think I am dragging my right foot. I think this because the MS neuro said, "How long have you been dragging your right foot?" I thought there was something wrong with my left foot...

-Sore muscles: 2

-Fine motor: 3

-Weak muscles: 5, especially my poor left leg

-Spasticity: 2

Cognitive:

-Language processing: 2

-Memory: 2

-Attention: 1

-Confusion: 1

General:

-Fatigue: 4

-Balance: 3

-Sleep: 3, close to eight hours

-Bladder: 3
