I got some anaerobic exercise today. ;-)
Sensory:
-Pins and needles: 3
-Tingles: 0
-Dysesthetic pain: 6 (I am wondering about the rain connection... it seems like some of my nasty pain days are rainy days. Not all of them. Maybe it is a coincidence.)
-Paresthesias: 1
-Numbness: 2
-Vision: 2, no change
-Nerve pain: 2
-Hearing: 1
Motor:
-Walking: 3
-Sore muscles: 4, but I worked them
-Fine motor: 3
-Weak muscles: 6, had trouble using my right arm off and on today, right leg also still weaker than left*
-Spasticity: 7, oh yeah! right at the point of cramping sometimes.
Cognitive:
-Processing: 3
-Memory: 3, which is the point where I begin to wonder if it is worse. Forgetting some of what I forgot?
-Attention: 0
-Confusion: 2, just in a fog
General:
-Fatigue: 4
-Balance: 0
-Sleep: 4, I think I was waking up cold. I am pretty dumb when I wake up in the middle of the night--it takes me a while to process what I am feeling (even pain takes time to register), and sometimes I can fall asleep before I process the problem. But then I just wake up again a little while later. That was what happened to me early this morning. I did not look at the clock.
-Bladder: 2, not sure if I am heading toward another UTI, but I will be drinking a lot the next few days and hopefully flush it out
-Proprioception: 1
-Swallowing: 1
-A: 4
-B: 0
Emotions: I cried out of frustration with my right arm. But it got better... then worse... And my emotions got better... then worse. I feel fine now. But the tears before were out of anger and frustration with the whole situation.
*It was kind of funny that I through because my right arm was too weak to brush my hair, I could not do it. Duh, I used my left arm. Now, it was still too hard to blow dry my hair. And get dressed. I was overwhelmed, and I cried and cried. My friend got some clothes and started to help me. OK, that worked. And she held the blow dryer for me. And that worked, too. It worked fine. I guess my brain was too fogged to think of asking for help or thinking of workarounds.
