Weird Day

I had a weird day today. First off, I had trouble sleeping again because of the heat--I should probably begin using the air conditioner. But it's only the middle of March! Anyway, being kind of tired might have contributed to the way I felt today.

Mostly I just felt off. Weird. Sometimes my heart seemed to beat faster. Sometimes I had to work to pay attention and process the world. But there were hours where I felt okay. Not normal-okay, but at least everyday-MS-okay.

I had a pretty good PT session. Mostly I rocked it all, except when she wanted me to work on balance with my eyes closed. She must have needed a good laugh.

I have a weird headache. Above my right eye, directly underneath my eyebrow, toward the inner side of my eyebrow. Now it is right above my right eyebrow, more toward the outer side. (NEW SYMPTOM, or at least hasn't been around for a while)

And my tongue went partially numb this afternoon. It has not come back. (NEW SYMPTOM, or at least hasn't been around for a while)
