Delayed reaction, but I have found that others have this issue also, so it may just be "normal" .. that is when I know I need to stop and rest up .. kinda like a shift job .. two days on three days off .. sorta ..

 

Anyway, it has been slowing down and calming down and I planned it so I can enjoy Weds. night out .. I want to be able to walk , so I can see all the cars , not sure how many show up but it doesn't matter .. and I want to be able to speak without the pain factor interferring in my speech ..

 

With MS I already have an issue with this, as my speech sometimes does not match what I am thinking or is slurred .. especially if I have overdone or it is late in the day .. so to remedy this I get a good nap in .. and wake up refreshed ..

 

This had worked for me in the past, so reason why it wouldn't work for me now .. just like the stretching .. I found that when I am aching it is good for me to stretch out ever so gently and hold that position .. yes, I know , it sounds a bit strange , but you see athletes do their stretching pre and after whatever event they do , especially runners ..

 

I was a swimmer in the day , and volleyball .. so I incorporated this routine from my past into my thinking .. which is important .. as when in pain you most times want to just curl up .. and that is okay , but for me stretching before a nap or bedtime helps ..

 

Anyway , I am revved up for this .. and feeling confident about where my life is heading ... agserra1
