A Cohesive Plan for the MS Battle

On Monday I had another episode that I can not describe. I was sitting in my recliner because I just felt funny and then I started having what can only be described as "waves" of some kind. I think they were in my head and it was actually quite frightening. I tried to lay real still and was concentrating on determining exactly what was happening. Like so many sensations that come with MS, this was yet anothe strange and unidentifiable one. Luckily the sensation passed after several minutes, but I can say that my thoughts were rather jumbled during the episode.

On Tuesday I had an appointment with my neurologist so I brought it up with him. I don't know for sure if it could have been a seizure or not, but it is not unheard of. I sure hope not. Perhaps it was muscular in nature.

I had an appointment at the MS clinic today. We discussed numerous subjects, including vitamins and diet as it relates to my particular situation. They are finally going to see about getting me into physical therapy and/or occupational therapy for some of the problems with my right arm and leg. We also talked about swimming for exercise. I will have to check around, but I suspect the YMCA will end up being the option. I just don't know yet what kind of programs they might have or the cost.

I also was loaned a dvd called "You Can Do Yoga, for MS". It is by a certified yoga instructor who aslo happens to have MS. Although I haven't viewed it yet, my nurse tells me that it is designed specifically for MS patients and has some tips for doing yoga in your chair. I am excited about this and anxious to start learning.
