Hello MS mommies!
Last week I had a thoracic MRI and today is was cervical and brain. A few weeks ago, it was blood tests and my monthly dosage of Kesimpta. I realized that I needed a medication that would better fit my mom schedule so I switched from Ocrevus. I also had a neurology appointment three weeks ago and my doctor recommended daily physical exercise and cognitive exercises. This all sounds like a lot, probably because it is!
On top of the care and keeping of myself, we had birthday parties, gymnastics, early release, days off school, class photos, valentines exchanges, home work, spirit day, parent lunch, grandparents day and a field trip. This doesn't include the daily waking everyone up and getting ready for the day, lunches, drop off, carline pickup, dinner, laundry, groceries, vacuuming and every day cleaning.
Well, a common side effect of MS (as you all know) is fatigue. Somewhere in the mess of caring for everyone else and managing your own health, it is recommended that you take breaks. I literally laughed when my physician said this. Let me get out my planner and pencil it in! Maybe I can cross off the bathroom break around 1:00...
My blog question: What do you do to help reduce fatigue during your hectic mommy schedule? And what does your schedule look like?
