I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. My knees are still swollen and I’m having some difficulty walking.
I was still suffering from major fatigue after all of that pain the past 2 days!! It made me extremely tired. I had a little difficulty walking with my balance and my legs felt really heavy because my knees were so swollen from yesterday. I used my cane to get around to help take some of the weight off my left knee.
I still had pain but it wasn’t unbearable like it was yesterday!I’m glad there is some improvement, this makes me feel more hopeful that the infusions are starting to work!
On the way to my infusion it started to rain, I noticed that my tires were kind of slipping around. I thought maybe it was the wind, so I slowed down a little and looked at the trees. Next thing I know my tires went out of control. I pulled over and realized I had a flat tire.
I immediately called for help because I knew I had to get to my infusion done. I managed to get to my infusion for the day. I was all worked up and worried about my car and still processing the fact that I have MS. It was a lot.
When I got to my infusion, I shared with my nurse that I had some burning sensation and I showed her my knees that were swollen. She said swelling is a common side effect but she checked my legs to make sure I wasn’t having any clotting. Once she confirmed I was safe for infusion She gave me Pepcid for the reflux I was having, Benadryl and Tylenol before my infusion with hopes that this would help with the burning sensation.
Once I completed my infusion. I went back to my car with my Man and he replaced my tire. On my way home I was completely drained after all of that drama. Next thing I know lights are flashing behind me and I got a pulled over by the cops. They gave me a ticket.
I decided to stay positive and focused because I was going through enough. I was glad to have something positive to hold onto, the burning sensation that I felt was gone, I didn’t have a blood clot in my legs and I only had two more days left of the infusions!
Maybe tomorrow the swelling on my knees will go down some more.
