Medication Working?

I can a fantastic day. Sure, I got suddenly and abnormally tired sometimes... but I got through it. My pain was so much better! I hope it was not just chance. I hope the increased medication is working.

Besides slow increases beginning four hours after each pill, the only trouble I had was when I tried to sit on a metal folding chair, and my leg said, "You cannot be serious."

Sensory:
-Pins and needles: 3
-Tingles: 0
-Dysesthetic pain: 3, except for 6 when I sat on that chair for a few minutes. Sometimes it was 0 or 1!
-Paresthesias: 1, buzzy buzzes
-Numbness: 4, one weird new numb area was the arch of my foot. Well, feet.
-Vision: 2
-Nerve pain: 5
-Hearing: 0

Motor:
-Walking: 2
-Sore muscles: 2
-Fine motor: 3
-Weak muscles: 4
-Spasticity: 3

Cognitive:
-Language processing: 1
-Memory: 1, I hate it when I need a reminder for something I have agreed to do not two minutes before.
-Attention: 0
-Confusion: 1

General:
-Fatigue: 3
-Balance: 3
-Sleep: 1
-Bladder: 1
-Proprioception: 1

Emotions: I read a bit more of the MS and feelings book, but I stopped at the next homework assignment. It had a long list of questions, and it said I should make sure I have time to process the emotions the questions will bring up. Blah.
