Being on the ground is much better

Except that in recent days, I was never above sea-level in an airplane or sky-diving, although I sure felt as if I had been.  Sunday morning through beginning of yesterday were the start of a short reprieve from several days of #MSvertigo and I took advantage with trips to the #gym, #fitnessaddict both days to get-in decent work-outs since who knew if or for how long the unwelcome, disorienting visitor would return #motivation.   Normally vertigo episodes are 48 hour pre-cursors to regional earthquakes, but because there were a handful that occurred, who knows which fault-line had the courtesy to warn me.  As if I’m the earthquake #whisperer.  There were a few smallish quakes that occurred in our region within 48 after the onset of vertigo, but I’ve been sleep-deprived, so I cannot be expected to keep track of seismic activity locale when I’ve struggled to stay awake.  #Priorities  I normally give-in to taking naps when I’m that exhausted, but having Baby D here has changed things ginormously and I no longer have the nap-taking luxury.  

So through yesterday afternoon, I was #MultipleSclerosis #vertigofree, but today is back to the regularly scheduled #vertigo programming.  These episodes are opportunities for zombie behavior observation through #TWD training, for the coming zombie apocolypse #FearTWD.  The lesson of my little story is that it really is better to be confident that I’ve remained on the ground.  That lack of much needed sleep has definitely taken a toll on what were reasonable, analytical skills.  So here we are with #MSVertigo for over a week now (that short reprieve from vertigo provided nothing, but the hangover feeling that always follows days of ongoing vertigo), but B reminded me I had vertigo for three weeks back in 2001.  Oh, the horror!   Vertigo is truly awful.  The room spinning, the stationary objects that appear to get-up on their own to do circles, eyes that cannot focus, but see everything going wonky…  Thank you, #MS, for all the extra unexpected #MSsymptom-causing conditions that creep-up with no indicative pre-symptoms that might inspire me to get stuff done before the unwelcome and interfering show-stopping symtoms begin.  Don’t judge my sarcasm.   

So, I’m patiently waiting obviously eager to get started on the new MS treatment #Lemtrada.  With everything we’ve heard, I’ve become anxious to see just what and how much improvement will occur.
