MS, Fatigue and Blogging

Hey everyone, have been so tired the last week with extreme fatigue. Been a little more social than usual but I am just so tired, I haven’t even had the energy to type up my blogs although I would have with all good intentions!

The trouble with MS is you literally can lose your energy all of a sudden to the point that you can not keep them open. Then sleep is just all over the place.

So, I will try my best to get up to date with the food blogs as missing Days 13 to 17 at present and my second week weigh in! I didn’t even have the energy to stand and have my measurements done on Friday just gone so I will be doing them every 3 weeks instead of 2.

I know when you go on a healthier route, a lot of people give up at 2 to 3 weeks due to energy drops, I think that is what happening to me at present and as much as I have just done more grabbing and going, I have tried to stay healthy as I can. so haven’t given up. Just hope that I have more energy next week and can get back to normal.

Write soon, Hansi xx
