Mark`s going back tonight it`s been great having him home still thats his job.Things at home are fine all the dogs are great and so are the ponies as well as the birds.I`ve got hayfever the pollen count is high here so i`m taking benadryl no drowsy, it`s working as long as i remember to take them i`ll be ok.Last night was rough i took painkillers and sleeping tablets to help me get through the night in hope i`ll get some relief from the tremors .I seem to be getting worse in the night i can`t get out of bed without a real struggle and the pain is agony i feel like a fish flapping around trying to get up .I was speaking to my mum about it today i said i feel like it`s not really happening and i`m kidding myself i`ve always been so healthy and strong doing manual work from early till late and now look at me i`m having trouble getting in and out of bed and can`t even get up the stairs without keep stopping amongst other things.I`ve managed to get an appointment to see the doc week after next for some meds for the tremors and also some other painkillers the tramadol are killers i hate the side effects .so i`m off to bed now i`ve got swollen feet and ankles and they hurt like hell so i`m off for some rest .Lots of hugs to all my friends hope you all have a great weekend filled with fun xxxxxxxxx KELLY XXXXXXXXX

Hello Kelly...
Living with a chornic ailment is tough, and pain is no fun, so I truly understnd what it's like. I know you're doing the best you can at managing your symptoms. To the exrent that you can, just stay positive, focus on all the good in your life, and stay in the present. Have you been dx'd yet or even had MS ruled out?
As for the swollen ankles, I am also suffering from this condition (for about a month now). My doctor is monitoring me. Advises me to keep legs elevated during the day, wear compression stockings and prescribed a diuretic. I had to stop taking the diuretic because with me having mobility limitations, it's difficult to get up and run to the bathroom when the urge to go hits - on demand. I am also scheduled for a vascular ultrasound as my doctor want to see the vondition of my veins. A sluggish lymphatic/circulatory sysytem is what causes edema and the swelling. So the doctor also advises that I try to become more physcially active.
One thing that might help you are ankle circles. You do this by lying on the floor, resting legs against a
wall and slowly rotating your ankles in circles for two minutes. Next, massage your calves, rubbing down toward your heart for 2 minutes before standing. Hope this helps.
Till we talk again, wishing you a good day and sending you HUGS!
Love, Lynne

oh kelly i know how you feel! i'm having some of the swollen feet and ankles stuff tonight too. i also used to work from dawn to dusk.
we just can't anymore. we have to learn how to pace ourselves.. the people around us have to understand and we have to give ourselves permission to pace ourselves according to how we feel from day to day or hour to hour.
maybe we can help each other!
i'm here for you!
