Yesterday I had to walk about 10m. I won't go into why but I didn't have my chair and had to make it on foot, holding on to my friend's arms.
It took ages, maybe 10 minutes and was exhausting. But I made it! It's really hard to explain, but it's like I'm fighting three things. First, MS makes it really hard to get signals down to me legs to tell them what to do. Secondly, spasticity is still pulling my legs together as I try to move them, so as well as forward, I have to straighten them each time too. Finally, there is a stiffness, from lack of use, in my thighs. So fighting against all three is extremely hard work.
Anyway, I made it the 10m and then promptly threw up. Literally from the physical exhaustion. I'm not ill and I hadn't been drinking. I was literally sick from the exercise of walking 10m! How nuts is that!!
