Wow, what a whirlwind this last 3 weeks has been. My heart was all wonky and now it's not, so thats been a great smoothed over effect from being on Fingolimod again. I was back at the MS clinic last week and my resting heart rate is back up to it's healthy 62. And I feel normal like I'm not on meds once again like last year. I'm contemplating moving the time I take my pill back to the morning again. I have been taking it at night so any side effects of the drug happen at night, but I don't like that timing. In the morning, I feel like taking a pill is about as normal as brushing my teeth. Regular routine thing. At night, I'm out and about and always have to remember to take it at 9pm and it feel like a more invasive event on my life. I was at a BBQ with friends on Saturday night and my little reminder alarm went off and I had to go get my pill and take it. I just don't like that. I'll see what my clinical trial nurses say about that plan to move it back. I'll likely have to just keep pushing it forward by an hour or two every day over a couple weeks.
And on to fatigue. A new kind of fatigue. And I'm pretty sure it's not MS fatigue. I like to blame any symptom I have on my MS of course but this time around it really was more than that. I worked my tail off prepping my house to be sold and even though friends and family members were helping me, I was going non-stop every day for 2 weeks straight without a days break in between. Even without haivng MS this is exhausting, so maybe the combo really isn't the best when attempting this kind of regiment! Anyways, the house went up all gussied up and sold in 24 hours and now its all done and I can stop living in a staged house. Yay! The crash of fatigue I felt when all this was done was unbelievable and not a kind of fatigue I've felt before. It's taken several days to stop feeling that weight of fatigue and now it's back to work, so onwards I go. Glad it's done!
