MS Update

So it is time for an update on how I am doing with the multiple sclerosis. This summer I had a bad June. I was tired all of the time and just generally felt terrible. July was a good month where I was feeling pretty good. Well now, I have not been feeling very well for a few weeks. I have stopped taking my anti-fatigue medication because it was not working anymore. Everyday, around 2 o'clock, I become exhausted. I mean exhausted. Exhaustion where my eyes start going cross eyed. It lasts for a couple hours. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow, so I will ask if there is anything else he can prescribe for the fatigue. Another point with the fatigue is if I go for a walk or a bike ride during the day, I literally use all my energy for the rest of the day. Honestly, even if I take a nap or eat something, my energy for the day is gone. Thank God I am taking a year off from work. I ask Henry if he thinks I will be able to or want to return to work next year. That is the question for a few months.

Update with no Pictures

As the title stated, this update does not have any pictures. This is due to the fact that we (meaning Henry) left our camera in Jal over Labor day weekend. We went to go visit Henrys parents over Labor Day weekend and it was a really nice visit. Henry's brother and his family were there as well. We also took the pop-up and camped at the lake (don't get too excited, it is a really small lake in the shaped in the letters JAL) and we did some fishing. Jal is really nice because it is so small (pop. 1700) and there is not much to do there. Because of that you spend a lot of your time just hanging out with family. We took our bikes and spent a couple evenings just pedaling around the town. I love riding my bike there because the town in fairly flat and you can ride in the middle of the road and not encounter any cars. When I get the camera back, probably this weekend, I will post the pictures from this trip.
