I believe you. It sounds as if your command center aka central nervous system is on overdrive. Try to stay calm and strong, and hang on tight. Maybe you and your husband can devise a plan of what and when you can do things. If your eyes or legs are fighting you, don't fight back. Work smarter, not harder. Use moderation and modification to squeeze the best time and ability out. Patience and acceptance is a difficult thing to come by, but if you work on calming this storm in your body, I think you will feel some benefit.

@rwinney. As hard as itt is to hear you are spot on. I am trying to learn to portion my time and allow time for spasms as well. Today I was able to walk up the basement steps without my legs giving out on me. Yesterday I could only walk a couple steps then rest. It means so much to me that someone believes me and it has made me more determined to make stretches and light weights a priority. I want to start at 15’lbs but now realize I have to accept who I am right now. 3 lbs is better than 3 weeks ago when I couldn’t lift my hands over my head. Thank you all so much. Please pray that my 3 week checkup shows that my eyesight has not worsened. It’s in 2 weeks.
