Ending week two and entering week three with no MS meds

Well, my feet and legs are more numb and tingling.  My balance is not all that great.  I am not finding my center to hold myself upright.  I have to be a little hunched in order to maintain from falling on my face.  I worked on that this morning, though.

I am using some daily activities to help my balance and core muscles to stay strong.  I stand as much as I can for as long as I can.  Like, when I'm brushing my teeth. I will stand through the whole process. The motions of my arms help make me wobble a little.  If the wobble gets to be too much or I get weak, I'll use one hand to rest on the counter to help maintain my stability.  I do my usual reaching up, down, and across to each side while sitting to exercise my core muscles.

I still have a lot of work to go.  I do not have outpatient physical therapy anymore at the rehabilitation hospital.  I have to work on it myself if I want to walk again, which I do. Nothing motivates a person more than the fear of being paralyzed from the waist down all over again because of Multiple Sclerosis.  God has carried me through.  My family has helped immensely.  I could not ask for more.
