    Lightbulb Relapse of my MS

    Reaching out to friends on here to let you all know I’m dealing with Paralysis on my left arm and Deficits in my left leg. Due to being diagnosed with AFib the doctors started me warfarin a blood thinner. Been a tough ten days. I transfered to inpatient rehabilitation. Its going good but also very hard. Much harder work than loosing my weight. Trying to come to terms with this life changing situation. Trying to stay positive. I miss Hiking and mountain and rock climbing though!!!! Its been much harder than my weight loss journey. Diet going good but the limited exercise is causing some changes but i’ll get back into the gym and work my muscles and hopefully make some changes. Another problem I have is developing paralyzed intestines similar to the gastroparisis i have. For those contemplating the gastric sleeve its still the best thing decision.

    I am so sorry! I pray the doctors figure it out so you can get back to your mountains! Warfarin is a tough drug, I know there are other options out there for younger people. Get better soon!
