Woo! Hoo! Today was the last day of my 3 day infusion steroid treatment. Tomorrow I start the 7 day oral Prednisone. It's been a rough three days to say the least but I made it through. I really wanted to quit yesterday but I knew I needed to do this for my baby and me. The burning sensation has stopped under my breast and back but my leg and foot are not much better. My foot actually is having a different feeling. It's hard to explain but I'll try. It feels really really cold but when I touch it it doesn't feel cold. It also feels hard on the bottom and really uncomfortable to walk on. My foot feels like a rock. It feels like I am walking on a rock. Do I call my neurologist and tell him about his new feeling? I've decided I will call him Monday if it still feels like this.
MS is so hard to deal with. I feel like you can't really fight it. I am definitely a fighter and very competitive person. I really don't like to be beat. I am doing my best to not let MS beat me! It's hard for me to know and understand that I really can't fight MS. The only thing I can do is try to stay positive and continue to walk in the MS walk each year and raise as much money as I can for the society.
Today I am thankful that in 5 days my sister will be taking a long journey to visit us. I miss her so much!

So glad that the burning sensation has subsided a bit. I've gotten the rock under the foot sensation before and the extra cold/kinda numb thing on my legs before. I think it was increased neurontin which helped those things. Maybe?
Anyway, hope you're feeling MUCH BETTER very soon.
I am so proud of you for doing such a great job with your treatment. You are an incredible fighter. I look up to you so much and I can't wait to see you!!!!!
