Oh gosh where to begin. First of all, I'm in bed, where I have been most of the day--this is because of a recent flare up of...argh.. I hate to even write the words..multiple sclerosis...that has kept me off balance and dizzy for almost two weeks.
People who don't have MS and haven't experienced extended periods of vertigo--just can't know how amazingly disruptive this is. Especally if you have kids--or in my case a kid, who is six years old and the LAST thing he wants me to do is lie in bed all day. So what's a mom--separated from her spouse--to do? Movies, skittles, the chocolate advent calandar and finally a dear friend who takes my son from me and keeps him for the rest of the day. Yeah for dear friends who take your kid when you can't be vertical for more than 15 minutes. Yeah for scoobydoo movies, yeah for skittles.
So we made it through a Saturday and this morning my son left with his dad and I'm able to rest uninterrupted. But what about this CCSVI? Is it coming to North Carolina? Is it the real deal? Could I have a future free from Days Down Dizzy? Will Duke University or The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill with all their resource and facilities get on the band wagon? Hmm... it all remains to be seen. I need to go check the CCSVI websites and see if anything has changed in the past 30 minutes. Ahh give me a break--I need something to keep my spirits going during this flare of multiple sclerosis. Arghh... I wrote it again. Judi
