1. Bladder Spasms started today. Thank God for Vesicare (can't you just hear the commercial now?!...Come on I know you can...telling you in a smooth, sweet, soft voice how they are going to help you with overactive bladder...well get to it!).
2. Had a Massage Tuesday Started having MS Hug Symptoms Wed and Thurs. No more Massages..who cares if they can release the toxins in my body to help me get rid of them. Apparently they do better bottled up in my joints and spine than released into the depths of my body.
3. BP was a perfect 120/84 at Family doc today...so when I asked if I am craving Salt because of my BP meds she JUMPS up and yells out to please get me a blood draw to check my electrolytes. In short, no you don't crave salt because of them but apparently they can screw with your electrolytes to make you want salt so you don't pee it all out...which works SO well with Overactive bladder when u pee every 1-2 hours. She never did tell me what to do about it but told me I could have salt and stay off my 1 BP Pill a diuretic until my bladder calms down...at most 2 days. WOW...2 WHOLE DAYS and eat all the Salt I want? I will be bloated by sundown.
4. I was full and bloated by sundown. Took BP...High...155/105...back on pills uh...NOW.
5. Insomnia for several days now...from what I have NO IDEA. I just want to sleep during normal business sleeping hours. Not during the day ... which just leads to me having Insomnia at night!
6. I'm not sure if Hell is anything as Hot as TN is in the Summer, but, if so I feel really sorry for those poor bastards! Right now I want to move to Iceland...it appears my optimum feel good temp is less than 95+ degrees...who knew?!
7. I'm BORED...with a capital B. But when one day you feel satisfactory and the next you feel like you lost the BIG FIGHT with Muhammad Ali you're kinda screwed to try to plan anything. I hate that most about MS.
8. A young man (27) my husband works with was told he may have MS. What does my husband do...immediately tell him about ME. Uh DUH...didn't we have this conversation like 20 times...you do not tell anyone at work that I have MS it could affect your future with the company negatively...oh wait...he promised not to tell a soul...the same guy who ran into work to tell you he went blind in one eye last week and they think he has MS???? And then ran to talk to all the Nurses at work (Because we know that if you have RN behind your name then you are qualified to advise on MS)...yeah that secret will get kept.
---- Rant over for now....stay cool peeps...it's HOT HOT HOT out there...at least my body is telling me it is!

Speaking of salt, I add salt to my water to keep my bp up. Feel like a damn clown fish.
