Xanthia's MS Life

I'm turning 35 this Friday and for the first time ever I'm actually a little freaked out by the idea of getting older. Just a tiny bit but enough to sweat it. Oh don't give me that "It's just a number" crap! 40 seems way too close now. I look in the mirror and I'm starting to really see my age. I guess all that rock star livin had to catch up with me eventually.

These past couple weeks have been torture. The fatigue has been worse than usual (which is pretty bad) and it doesn't show any signs of abating. I've tried going to bed earlier, taking vitamins, taking walks, drinking coffee but nothing makes a difference. Most of the time now I feel like a zombie, I constantly fight this feeling of being wobbly, I don't know how else to describe it. It feels as if there's a metronome in my chest causing me to sway and my vision keeps blurring. It happens everyday now. I get completely wiped out by simply eating breakfast and showering, by the time I get to work I'm ready to lie down. Is this worsening fatigue just aging or is it MS? Perhaps it's a little of both.

On a brighter note my best friend just got engaged and that makes me so incredibly happy! Congratulations Becky!!!
