So I didn’t have a bladder infection, but I did have an infection.  My MS body was letting me know that something was going on last week and fortunately I listened.  If I had waited until the pain was unbearable, it would have been much worse.

In a way, MS was my early warning system.  Secret benefit of having a disease which is sensitive to illness?  Maybe.

This weekend I have been sleeping A LOT and the meds are doing their job.  I am so glad that this round of diverticulitis did not progress to the examples I’ve heard about from others.  I’m still fatigued, but expect to feel better soon.  This and MS can’t keep me done too long, I have things to do and places to go this month.

Hope you are taking care of yourselves.  Keep cool, enjoy the summer, and continue to stay healthy.
