This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Hi Brynn,
You have certainly been through a lot! I just wanted to tell you I can understand your concern.
I wanted to tell you about what has happened with me. I had a UTI at one point and I felt awful for weeks. A lot of symptoms came back and I was really getting discouraged. Good news is, it took longer than usual, but I did go back to my new normal. I have had several small illnesses which have negatively afffected me. I asked Dake about it and he found most of his patients had worsening of symptoms with infections, viruses, and even with vaccinations.
Here's what he said:

Take it slow and try not to worry. I know it's hard:) Take extra good care of yourself.

Hi everyone! Thanks for the well wishes! I wanted to send out an update…Not meaning to sound too overly dramatic, I have had a challenging few months. I unfortunately have not seen a return of the tremendous improvements after my 2nd trip to Poland. We have found that I have been fighting reoccurring bladder infections, which are now finally gone, but just as troublesome is a low grade fever that we can’t seem to find the source of. My "normal" body temperature is 97.6 where I do great, but it insists on getting up to 99.9-101.5 and at that I have a really hard time. This is what we are working on now, but unfortunately, it makes my voice weak and my typing coordination stamina is short lived and typically gets used up doing my job computer work. I need to get beyond both of these issues to continue healing! So, I wish I had more exciting news…hopefully that will be still to come. In the meantime, my family has been lucky enough to take long weekends this summer up at Priest Lake, with the boys playing like crazy in the lake all day. I hope everyone is well and having a fantastic summer! Brynn

Oh Brynn, I am sorry to hear about the infections and fever. Those make even healthy people feel crummy. You do sound optimistic and I hope all of your improvements return soon. Be well!!!

Brynn,
So sorry to hear of your continuing difficulties. Well, one step at a time (even though we would love it to be otherwise!!!). Glad you have the bladder infections under control. On to the next.....
I hope for quick resolution for you
