Just some notes, in point form for how my symptoms started to degrade.
Thursday April 1st - noticing my MS getting worse, more tingling in both feet. By the end of the day, feet are vibrating and in pain. Left hand is also numb.
Friday April 2nd - pain is worse, have headaches and starting to limp a bit, noticing my right knee is feeling weak.
Saturday April 3rd - the worst day so far. It feels like both knees want to give out when I walk and it takes some concentration to walk without letting them buckle. My right foot is extremely numb and it hurts if I put too much pressure on my toes. Both feet are burning and zapping and both hands are tingling quite a bit. Fatigue is quite strong. Not sleeping well.
Sunday April 4th, feet sensations receeding a bit so they still are tingling but the pain is less. Noticing my left thumb is extremely numb, and it has never before been that numb. Walking still a bit difficult.
Monday April 5th. Feet a little better, but still feeling very hot and numb. Noticed the numbness in my right leg has now crawled around to the back of my leg as well up to mid-back, with the skin of my back hip area being quite strongly numb as well as my left thumb still quite numb.
Sunday April 11 .. it's been a really hard week. The tingling/burning sensations have increased to the point if I even touch my legs (because they feel itchy), then they burn for a long time afterward. It's even bothering me in my left ear. I've noticed also some weird feeling in my throat which makes me need water. I've had it before in the past and never figured it out and always thought it was some type of weird allergy. Wondering if it is MS related. Walking still an issue as my right knee doesn't want to be stable. My skin continues to 'crawl' nonstop. If I lay down to try to sleep, the pressure on whatever skin I'm laying on make it really itchy and I end up scratching a lot before I can actually fall asleep. Numbness is more severe than last week. All so very discouraging. Julianna is throwing up tonight so I won't get much sleep again :(
Wednesday April 14 -I had to take Julianna to emergency this morning (she was asking to go), after being sick for a few days. They have admitted her for the day and maybe overnight. They did blood tests on her and Daniel, but let him go home with Kirk. Julianna was very dehydrated and they wanted to watch her until she got more stable.
Friday April 16 - Finally got Julianna's IV out and she got to go home. She still isn't eating much, so I have to make sure I watch her fluid intake and try to get her to eat toast and rice.. stuff like that. I am sooooo tired!
