Limitations

I was relieved to wake up this morning without the awful headache, but the pain was pretty wide spread over my body, including twitching mucles. Don't mind those so much, at least they don't hurt unlike the burning skin sensation in my thighs. The electric shock pains are the worst, you never know where or when it will happen except that they hurt and I seem to be having a lot at the moment.

My arms have been so painful it felt like they were broken most of the afternoon, probably because I did some ironing this morning! It really prevents you doing even simple jobs, or at least without some help, like cooking a meal. As I struggle to peel vegetables, or lift heavy pans etc, so its lucky both Laura and Tom can cook. Also having memory problems I have to really concentrate on what I'm doing when cooking. As one day I put some sausages under the grill and went outside to look at something and totally forgot about them! (Luckily Tom came down in time to rescue them)

It affects other things too like hobbies, as I used to love doing really complicated jigsaws, especially photomosaic like Mickey below. But I noticed a few months ago that I would sit all evening without putting a piece together. It's as though your brain is full of cotton wool, plus blurred vision doesn't help with those lol, so I decided rather than give up doing any, to just do simpler pictures like the cute Tatty Ted.
