Is it the MS or just Aging?

Since we came back from our trip I haven’t been feeling very well. I might be tired from the trip, which I am sure I am, and that maybe has triggered some symptoms to flare up. I could be feeling weaker as a result of bad eating or lack of exercise. I always have to determine which are symptoms of MS and which are symptoms of aging.

My legs seems weaker than usual and I can’t stand for very long without my hips aching. I’m finding it hard to stand straight up without my core weakening and bending over as I’m doing things. This could be just a weak core, which I know I have but the weakness in my legs is new.

My left arm is tingling and also very weak. This has been happening for awhile now and that I attribute totally to MS. I worry sometimes because the hand controls I use to drive, using my left hand and hoping it doesn’t fall down. Today my hand writing is also affected. This also happens on and off and I also attribute to MS.

More symptoms are increasing thirst and finding hard to catch my breath. I have recently tested negative for Covid.

My recent MRI, this year, showed no active lesions which is good. I have my yearly physical on Monday so we’ll see how that goes. I’m also somewhat stressed about the usual happenings or non happenings in my life.
