pondering

Hmmm.  I am trying to figure out a correlation between my periods of sick and environmental factor.  I have gotten colds that don't really present like colds.  I get a low grade fever and then muscle aches, very slight cough.  Every time my MS symptoms go crazy, I have these "colds". 
I am also wondering about spatial orientation and  balance.  When I am at home, I can walk better for the most part.  My balance is a little better.  When I go out into any kind of public place it seems my world because more topsy turvy.  Almost like sensory overload.  I get dizzy when there is too much going on and I am easily overwhelmed.
Then there is multi tasking.  It seems not to long ago I could do multiple things at the same time, no problem.  Now I can barely focus on one simple task.  I can't sing and type.  Weird statement, but I noticed that today. 
Then there is the memory.  I am so forgetful.  I have such a problem with remembering the simplest things, like turning off lights and forgetting to actually turn on the washing machine.  I have been forgeting to put laundry detergent in.
BTW, my little dramatic moment is quite over.  I am almost back to my previous baseline which makes me happy.  I am feeling well enough to go with my beautiful daughter tomorrow to find her very first prom dress.  I am very excited.  I hope I can last the whole waiting for a teenager to actually make a decision on her dress.  Oh boy.  I am already tired just thinking of it.
Hope that everyone out there with this disease finds their peace.  Today I have mine back.
