But I’ll be…
I’m writing this at 11.45 pm Saturday night, I’m reasonably confident that in the majority of my posts that I give the impression that I’m doing great, in some ways that’s not the true impression I’m trying to give. Because Saturday was a hot and humid day as I’m sure 99.9% of readers also experienced, MS doesn’t affect everyone exactly the same, heat and humidity for me is a killer, not literally of course but it’s bad. So much so that I stayed in my bed for most of the day, I was so weak that I was unable to do anything and struggled big time all day and even now the improvement is only marginal. I have several windows open and a fan on full blast which obviously is helping a little. It was 29 Celsius for a large part of the day, a little cooler now, but still 21c…of course there are some in other countries that regularly have much hotter temperatures, but you’re not me and not effected the same.
If I were to describe how I’ve been today, I’d say I’ve been in a terrible state, but when compared to previous years, I’m significantly better off, the effects during those hot hours are no different at the time but because I’ve been sticking very closely to the ABP, the bad times are much quicker recovered from.
Getting back to the impression I’m intending to give…it’s not only that I’m doing great after 22 months, which I am and happy about it, the main impression I hope to give whether you’re new to this or as far along or further on than me is more important. The impression I hope to give is that regardless of setbacks or speed bumps, they are just hiccups, nothing more so don’t ever think about giving up..
The title to this post… yes I’ve struggled today, but I’ll be better tomorrow..
