This is my third week in a MS relapse and I am climbing the walls
My bottom, legs and feet feel numb and cold, though I can feel them by touch. Am having difficulty walking and with balance and for the last few days am having trouble lifting my right foot to walk I am ten times more tired and struggle to get out of bed each day. Everything is just so much effort Work are being very supportive, I changed jobs because I needed less hours in a shift and a slower pace whereas 'A & E' was extremely busy! But I am driving myself mad
I know I can't complain I have been on a day ward for two years with no relapse, but I hate being off work. I know I can't work like this, I can hardly walk, but I guess I am feeling sorry for myself As I haven't been working I thought that now would be a good time to wear kerasoft lenses and not piggy backing as I won't need to see as well as in work. Today is the 11th day and my vision is nowhere near where it was
I know why this is, my cornea has changed now that I am not wearing a RGP but I have been so tempted to put it in as I am more depressed now. I can't walk well, am in pain moving my legs and now can't see well. I can't suffer with morning tv anymore!!! I just want to go back to work, am so lost sitting here at home being unable to do anything.Sorry to moan.
Am getting kerasoft lenses checked tomorrow and hoping that it has been worth it! On a good note, went to Moorfields last week and they said that the blood vessels they were worrying about are a lot better
This makes the whole point of me trying a soft lens a positive one. I only went to try my grafted eye that couldn't tolerate a lens, but after being told that I had less oxygen getting through piggy backing on the other eye and there being a lot of blood vessels showing I knew I needed to stop piggy backing. Shame as I saw so dam well!Anyway ... am leaving now as my legs have gone completely numb and will have trouble standing if I stay here too long!
Love Claire X x X
