Stress is bad


My last two attacks have happened around the same time of year, right around now.  This time of year seems to be much more stressful for me.  I don’t know if it’s because of the holidays, work or change of weather.  Probably all of the above with work right on the top of my list of stress.  Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love my job!  We have targets to hit and some months are easier than others.  For some reason this time of year is busy for us and our targets are a lot higher.

But also being that I know this time of year is when I usually have an attack, it’s almost like I’m waiting for my next one.  Sounds crazy but a part of me is skeptical  if the Rebif really is helping.  I’m hopeful that it is though, these shots every other day are not fun at all!  But there’s that slight chance that I can still get a relapse and now every time my eye hurts, fingers fumble, or when I trip over my own feet I start to question if it’s a relapse.  Hello extra unneeded stress!! 

I’ve been trying to get back on an exercise schedule so hopefully soon I can iron out a proper plan and it’ll help.  Plus I’ve been looking into yoga which I know a lot of my MS friends recommend.  For the time being I just need to sit back and relax more.
