oh geez...i'm not sure what is going on. Am i one of the "lucky" ones who really fall victim to the Tysabri rebound effect???
so i've had a rough week. the first time that i noticed that "things weren't right was Monday. I had a dentist appointment and for whatever reason, i WAS SO VERY STIFF. i was still moving on my own but things were just not normal. at one point, the hygienist even asked me if i was getting worse because 3 people from the office were trying to help me out. at some point, they told me to just sit on an office chair and they wheeled me where i need to go. by the time i got home, i was feeling a little better but...
Tuesday after work i just didn't want to move from where i was. My trainer cancelled and when i found out, i just didn't move for about 1 1/2 hrs and then it hit me. i've mentioned here before (i think) that if i stay in the sun for too long (GASP!!), my limbs jes get rhell heavy and it's a chore to do anything - well that's how i'd been feeling for most of the day...problem was, there is no sun INSIDE!!! oh no...what the hell is this??? i didn't feel badly, i don't feel sick but things just weren't right.

- is it the rebound effect?
- is it a flare up?
- is it because i have no medication in my system?
- is the MS rearing its ugly head because i'm actually really frustrated and unhappy at work?
- oh no...am i getting worse???????
I'm going to start the Tecfidera tomorrow - today is the last day of my 8 week waiting period so we'll see what happens but...
Over the years, things slowly shifted/changed; there was never any drastic changes; i feel like this is too drastic. things still haven't gone back to normal but i don't feel as "heavy" as before. I didn't work Wednesday but i did thursday and today - geez, i don't know but i'll start the pill tomorrow and deal with things as they come along.
Sorry to get to this late. Hope you've improved?!
