OW!

I was awoken early this morning with pain in my right leg.
Oh Hell, I can't even be stoic about it, I awoke to excruciating mystery pain from my hip to my knee in my right leg. I am only writing this so I have something to focus on while I wait for the one remaining Darvocet I have to kick in. It is too painful to even read a book.
Here's the thing: I kinda have to suspect the culprit could be MS, and I don't like to because I can't be concerned that this is a bizarre new start to a relapse.
I've had two, neither started this way. I am one of what I consider the very fortunate who does not generally have physical pain due to MS. It's a good thing too, because I'm pretty tough, but I'm not tough enough to handle prolonged debilitating pain. You know, the kind where you can't even hold still, the kind that prompts you to squirm around in agony? Call me a SISSY!
And while I'm at my own damn pity party here, let me reiterate how much I do not wish to be thrown into another relapse.
For those who don't know, I have relapse remitting MS which means most of the time I'm okay, but I experience occasional relapses or "exacerbations". These can be triggered by many things, prolonged exposure to heat, stress, a mild breeze...sometimes it's anybody's guess. But at onset of an active relapse, treatment is high doses of Prednisone to stop the process. The process being your own immune system attacking myelin that insulates the neurons in your brain and spinal cord.
This can result in any number of symptoms, one of which could very well include a pain in your leg sent straight from HELL!
It's never a good time for a relapse, but it just so happens that I have an important project which I had very much looked forward to finishing this week, starting tomorrow.
In the interest of observing the Law Of Attraction, let me end on a positive note and just say
"I am healthy, I am happy, I feel good!"
Wish me luck!!!!!
