Chronic Fatigue – Page 11 – Living life the MegaSpecial way!

Here’s a brilliant blog by a FB MegaSpecial friend of mine, it’s about a subject that I personally don’t think gets spoken about enough!

SEX & MS!

Yes ok, I speak quite openly to my friends about it but it wasn’t until I started speaking with them that I knew!

I couldn’t understand why my Dr asked me about my intimate life when all I went in to see him for was a repeat prescription not long after being diagnosed!

In fact he caught me that off guard, I just answered his question without returning it with my own like, ‘why do u want to know that!?’

I’m not sure what normal procedure is every where else but until this day I have never been told about intimacy, sex & how MS effects it!

No, in fact for some time before I was even diagnosed I knew there was a problem but didn’t know what or why!

Yes, MS can effect anything that you central nervous system controls including sensation!
Do in need to say anymore!

That moment when you just have to sit down!

You have to laugh don’t you! I started writing this last week during the heatwave & completely forgot all about it!

That moment when you just have to sit down

My MS really doesn’t like this English weather!

It’s been another beautiful day and I’ve unfortunately been a very busy girly again!
It would have been so nice to have sat in my egg chair and enjoyed the sun especially as the humidity wasn’t too bad this morning!

That wasn’t planned for me today though!
I knew I wouldn’t be able to go back to Pilates just yet after passing out during Wednesdays class! So I had booked our 12 year old Labrador Olivia (Ollie for short) in at the vets for further investigation into a lingering UTI (Urinary tract infection)
At least by booking this appointment I knew I definitely couldn’t go to pilates, this was a very important appointment!

I also had to go into town today to collect some clothes Deb had ordered & pay money into the bank. No worries, in & out in no time

Famous last words! The que in the bank was horrendous, I knew I wouldn’t be able to stand for too long and so as usual I managed to find something solid I could lean on whilst I waited.
It was so warm in there though! I could feel my temperature rising so I grabbed my little fan out of my bag! That did the job! I love the summer but I wish my MS did too!

Off to collect Debs clothes, the shop in needed is in a Shopping Mall, oh no! The Shopping Mall has a glass rough! I knew just what that meant!
I could feel the heat from the sun beaming down on me through the glass! The more I walked & the weaker my legs felt!

Oh here it comes! It’s ‘the’ MS walk, you know the one that leaves people wondering if you’ve had one to many Brandys!

Weaker & weaker, I’ll be crawling soon! I’ve passed the benches & the cafe’s! The shop I need is closer than turning back! Come on legs, don’t let me down!

The automatic doors open & I could feel the coolness from the AC!

The shop assistant welcomed me & I explained I was there for a collection but I also wanted to browse. I grabbed a handful of clothes & headed to the changing room! I knew this place well & knew there would be a seat in that changing room! That’s all I wanted, to sit down!

So much better! I smiled & realised the clothes I had grabbed were actually a size too small!
Then I remembered what I received last night!…
