For the last weej Multiple sclrosis has seemed to be the pits for me. Hopefully things will get better. I have had blurred vision in my right eye since the end of last week. Last weekend both eyes went blurry. I am going to see a eye doctor next week that my Nerologist set me up with. Today I had to get my walker to walk rthe heat has made it worser for me to walk. I have my air conditner on but Ik have still had a time today walking. I almost fall down twice with my cain. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers hopefully things will get better soon.

So how did your appointment with the eye doctor came along? What did he/she say? I hope you be extra careful and try not to almost fall again. It is hot nowadays, but I try to drink cool drinks to keep me cool. Try not to think about the heat so much and do take care of your health, yeah.. take care.

I ended up having Chronic Dry Eye Syndrome. I drink a lot of cool drink myself water more then anything. It is hard not to thing of the heat when it causes my body to shake when i get to hot. I am glad the weather is finally staring to cool down here.

They say green tea is quite good for cooling the body up; don't know if you have any green tea up in your area.. can try.. but don't take too much, that's what I read roughly..

I wll be praying for you. The heat gets to me, and I don't have MS, so I hope you feel better very soon.

It is hot. I had a back procedure last Monday. I got some groceries yesterday. There is just one flight of stairs to my apartment, and I'm in reasonably good shape and the procedure had gone well. But I took forever getting up those stairs! It was pathetic. I can't possible grasp how hard it is for you, and for other people with an illness that can just, as my Nana would say, lay you flat.

you are in my prayers. My Uncle Dave had that, and so did a friend of ours in Arizona. My husband was almost diagnosed with it years and years ago, until a doctor figured out that his problems were related to a broken neck he suffered in Viet Nam during the war, and a bone chip that was still in there.

Thank you very much for your prayers I am glad that your husband doesn't have it. I have a cousin that has it. That is the only member of my family that I know that has it. I have met a few people online that has it.

That is a good idea. I mostly stay around the house. I will have to go to see the eye doctor that my nerologist set me up with to see about my right eye next week. I hope I will feel better soon also. Thanks for your wishes.

I am sorry to hear that you are having problems, Shaun. I remember once before when you were having similar problems, and I will keep you in my prayers. Try to take it as easy as possible, and don't overdo things. Feel better soon.
