Just took me 30 minutes to walk a 5 minute stroll!
I know, I’m crazy doing that in this heat!
Lesson learnt & I shall be cancelling my exercise class tonight!
Feeling proud because of how positive I’m staying when feeling cacky in this heat & having to cancel classes!
I’d rather feel like rubbish now than make it 100 times worse if I tried to exercise in it! 😉
Medicated, showered & ready for life by 9am!
Melting, dripping, generally fcked & sitting in front of the noisiest fan by 10am!
Yey! Bring on the day! Just don’t expect much from me today!
Soooooo sleepy!
I find it so odd how some people’s MS likes dry heat, helping with their pain levels & then there’s some whom like me, it makes their pain worse!
Humidity has to be the worst for all MS’rs! I’ve never met an MSr who likes humidity!
For too long i haven’t been able to visit my friend @emilytexasbaran in her (was then) new home in Texas because of the humidity there!
Now she has moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania I’m going to have to start saving hard for flight tickets! #notsohumidthere
Don’t I know it!
I can get up!
I can get ready!
I can get to a class!
I CAN DO BODY BALANCE!
And whilst I can I will!

’Just’ a cold!
‘Just’ sinus pain!
‘Just’ a sore throat!
‘Just’ a headache!
‘Just’ a slight temperature!
‘JUST’ is ‘JUST’ too much for an MSr or me specifically to much to function!
I thought i was ‘just’ the temperature yesterday (over 18°c is ‘just’ too much for my MS to handle!)
Turns out it wasn’t ‘just’ the temperature after all! It was this cold as well, hidden underneath how tired I was feeling!
Exercise classes cancelled, body resting, fluid intake increased & Ultra chloraseptic anaesthetic throat spray to hand!
I’ll soon be back on it! For now, rest rest rest!
Just too tired for anything today!
Thinking, blinking, talking , walking, its all too much!
Too tired for contact lenses, too tired for makeup & too tired for a filter!
This is how heat affects my MS! Its 19°c and I’m having trouble with everything cognitive!
My ‘after’ photo! ‘After’ my visit to the hospital for my monthly MS medication top up!
and ‘After’ sleeping the ‘after’noon away, because it really is extremely tiring for me during my medication infusion (basically sitting with a drip next to me with the medication being pumped straight into a vein!)
Give me a couple of days & I’ll be back to me’ 😊😜
*Taken on my iPhone, no filter, no makeup! Just me!*
Shut the front door! 20 thousand followers on Twitter! That’s incredible! Let’s not stop there though! Come follow me and thousands of inspirational tweeps!
When your in too much pain and all you want to do is exercise what do you do?
Get on a power plate of course! This machine vibrates at different frequencies chosen by the user and different time settings as well!
I use it to help tone my muscles, aid my balance but mainly to help with my chronic pain from my MS!
Yes it helps, just enough for me to be able to do exercise classes! It’s like thousands of tiny hands massaging my muscles! Ah, bliss!
Try it! You’ll never look back!
I’m in the right place right now, moving in the right direction. Doing exactly what I’m meant to be doing!I’ve never felt more in tune!
Happy Thursday everyone! Well done for making it this far through the week, not much further to go! Just breathe!
Living life the MegaSpecial way!
