I’ve been feeling a little under the weather MS-wise since I went off the Copaxone. It isn’t anything serious. When asked by the neurologist, I reported I felt like I was wearing a tight pair of knee socks all the time. Oh, and I had a Nerf football under my right ribcage. I’ve felt the Nerf football and the tight knee socks before, so it isn’t a new problem, just a little flare-up of one from before.
It only affects the sensation outside my legs. The inside of my legs works fine, meaning I can walk and do leg lifts and limbo and such.
One thing that made me encouraged was that it seemed to be getting better this past week. Until today. Today I REALLY felt it. I worried about it all day.
Then I came home. And got undressed. And took off the tight knee socks I had put on that morning.
Seriously, I sat on the bed, shaking my head, looking at the knee socks, and thought, “Perhaps I really do have a Nerf football under my ribcage.”

Ick. I hope the nerf ball feeling turns out to be a benign nerf ball. (I have a nerf ball, too, and I’m pretty sure it’s gallstones, if that’s any consolation.)
Kathy – Gallstones? Noooo. I’ve seen what happens when you lose the gallbladder. No thanks.
If you’d like, I’ve made myself the designated driver for Hot Mom tomorrow night at the holiday party. I can be your driving designee, too. Just say the word. 🙂
Friend #3 -Let’s think about comments as an effective communication strategy.
You mean call you on the phone? Ewwwwww….
…you sound a little TOO much like me.
Friend #3 – I’m not commenting back because we actually talked about this at work.Sue – What? You have a Nerf football too?
I also hope it’s a benign Nerf football. I still am feeling like someone injected sodapop under the skin of my face. Profound thought of the day: MS sucks.
Jammies – You know what is great? Aleve. I keep telling myself that.
