Just for old time's sake, I will do my numerical ratings of symptoms. This was so helpful to me in the past, with increasing awareness of my body (a PT goal), noticing trends, and gaining confidence that new problems were real.
It is only 1:00 in the afternoon, and it is the weekend (always better), but I will go ahead and rate how I am feeling so far.
Sensory:
-Pins and needles: 1
-Burning skin: 7
-Electric pain: 4
-Nerve pain: 5
-Numbness: 2 (mostly feet)
-Vision: 1
-Hearing: 0 (my tinnitus got worse again with my last relapse, but it went away at the same time that I had improvements with pain, sleeping, swallowing, and spasticity)
Motor:
-Walking: 1
-Sore muscles: 4
-Spasticity: 3
-Weak muscles: 4
-Endurance: 2
-Fine motor: 1
Cognitive:
-Processing: 3
-Memory: 3
-Attention: 1
-Confusion: 0
Other:
-Fatigue: 6
-Balance: 2
-Proprioception: 2
-Sleep: 3 (woke up a lot)
-Bladder: 0
-Swallowing: 0
Emotions: Kind of frustrated, wanting to enjoy my day but feeling like I might not be able to. Too tired. But happy that it is the weekend, so I do not have to go to work. Glad that I had a therapy session today. Not too stressed, not anxious. Some fear related to my MS at the back of my mind.
