Conclusion:
Something is going on in my body
What comes before a conclusion...
My Rebif injections were awful last week. burning injections. post-injection pain. 2:00 am ibuprofen swallowings. and on Friday - 2 hours following, and 6 hours following...chills. yes, chills, totally new for me.
Jason and I didn't put 2 and 2 together until Friday, after I had finished cringing and "ouching" at my Rebif injection. Jason was doing the injection in my right thigh, and all I wanted to do was get away from the needle...push him away, or jerk my leg away. But of course, doing something like that would cause this highly acidic liquid to leak onto the outside of my body...potentially causing MORE pain. So I waited until it was done, and then I pounded my fists into the couch.
It is possible to have "worsened" MS symptoms when you are sick, or your body temperature goes up. Also, being sick, or being in a relapse can make the drug injections more painful.
Tonight, we'll see what happens.

a peek into my tidy house
Posted in wobbles on Thursday, July 24, 2008 by Emms
I realized last week that I am avoiding doing any large "projects" in my house because I don't want to make a mess. Projects may include cleaning out a drawer or a closet, starting a craft project or anything else that requires taking things out, and amassing piles.
I just finished designing and assembling a beaded necklace, and I put every last bead container away. I don't do much beading these days because I don't have the concentration required (or the concentration I think that I require) to imagine the finished piece. But when I do, it is pretty much a start to finish job.
I thought that I was avoiding "messes" because I was afraid I wouldn't have the energy to clean it up, or finish the project in one sitting. I have always disliked clutter, as well as having anything out of place in the main part of the house.
In order to stay on top of "clutter", I putter around putting things away. One sure sign of me having an off day, is the lack of puttering that I exhibit. "Puttering" requires walking around, the number one thing that I can't do if I'm wobbly. There isn't order or a systematic nature to my puttering...hence, puttering.
Today, a relatively good day (except for a slightly annoying headache) I put a different spin on the reason behind my lack of projects. Keeping the house tidy is something that I can control...for the most part. Some days, it is out of my control. So if I avoid creating situations that at some point require tidying, I am always in control.
If I continue to spend every day in my safe and tidy bubble...I will go crazy. I'll be in control, but I will be certifiable.
Feeling a bit obsessive,
