I'm stubborn

So I had full intentions of going to work today. Despite the fact that I was exhausted yesterday and needing a serious nap (probably a good 4-6 hour one). Until I left work and realized just how tired I really was. I napped on and off the on the couch last night. My intention of doing hours of homework never materialized and instead I went to bed early. I was out as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Gosh, I hate this disease. Last week I felt normal. I had normal tiredness. For those new to MS, normal tiredness is what I used to feel years ago before symptoms started cropping up. It's a tired that you acknowledge, but can wait until the end of the day to be taken care of. Maybe you go to bed a little early, but it doesn't keep you from enjoying the day. Your eyes don't hurt and you don't get headaches and other parts of your body don't rebel and start to hurt for no apparent reason. Normal tiredness.

I did go to bed early last night, but 10 hours of sleep doesn't seem to have totally fixed the problem because I woke up with a headache, painful legs, and some issues walking. Very mild compared to what it should be, but still not something that should be ignored.

Time to stretch out and cuddle with the dog.
