Mike Has MS
Relapse
Have I mentioned lately that my boss is a really good guy? I went into him this morning and told him that I was having some health issues. My MS is acting up again. It’s the change in the seasons, I swear. His first question was “Do you need to work from home for a while?” I told him that I have a lot of work to do, and that the work will get done.
When I get like this, my sleep patterns get all messed up because I get tired and want to nap during the day. We agreed that I’m going to cut my hours physically in the office a little short for a while. I’ll still work, but I’ll probably come in a little later and leave a little earlier.
As far as the mechanics of what’s going on, it’s numbness, loss of balance, and being tired all the time. These are classic signs of a relapse, at least in my own case. Hopefully this won’t last too long. I have a life to live. The good news is that having Reggie forces me to stay active. We probably walk a good mile every day. That forces me to get at least a little bit of exercise.
Bummer about the relapse, but I find pug dogs to be very helpful when sick. They sit with you, give you lovies, and just make it better. Stay well, walk, rest and get back into it when you are ready!

Sorry the relapse had to kick in, but stay optimistic. 35 is the beginning of the great years and I have confidence that you’ll know what to do with them. Best wishes to you and Reggie for a very happy day.
