Sitting and MS Are Unfortunately Not Friends

I had an alright day, except for quite a bit of pain this evening. It began in the afternoon but became worse in the evening. I was sitting on a chair that was apparently not padded enough for my sciatic nerve's liking--picky! So my left leg and foot kept going semi-numb, pins and needles, and pain. Whatever.

Sensory:
-Pins and needles: 3
-Tingles: 0
-Dysesthetic pain: 4
-Paresthesias: 0
-Numbness: 4
-Vision: 2? I haven't paid attention to whether it still is. I know that I had a ton of floaters this morning, which are pretty much gone now.
-Nerve pain: 5
-Hearing: 1, tinnitus this evening

Motor:
-Walking: 1
-Sore muscles: 2
-Fine motor: 2, blech, crappy handwriting. My fingers seem to have forgotten how to hold a pen.
-Weak muscles: 3
-Spasticity: 2

Cognitive:
-Language processing: 2
-Memory: 2
-Attention: 3, need to be vigilant during meetings and conversations. Yikes.
-Confusion: 1

General:
-Fatigue: 0, I think it was normal
-Balance: 1
-Sleep: 3
-Bladder: 0
-Proprioception: 1

Emotions: I got mad about having MS at one point today. And I got frustrated a friend whom I keep needing to remind that I have it. I am in the market for a forehead-mounted neon sign...
